Well, what can I say?! Exams are done, the break has started, and I’m sitting at home being a hermit! My second last semester has now come to a close and here are some of the highlights:

1. 1) Getting paid to shoot a volleyball game – http://www.danielyu.com/acalvball09
2. 2) Raising $100 and for Daneille to do something embarrassing J
3. 3) Road trips with the futsal team

Time has definitely flown by as I am getting closer to graduation! It is definitely a bitter sweet feeling. I definitely want to move on, yet I am definitely going to miss everything that being a college life brings!

Enough of school for now though. The weather has changed and we are getting lots of snow! This means we are going to have a white Christmas! I am definitely excited. I hate it when there is no snow and all you see is dead grass outside. As Christmas is fast approaching, I’ve been thinking about the reason why we celebrate it. Sure we joke that Santa is coming and confine ourselves to the sport of jostling in the malls with other insane customers, but, as a Christian, I need to remind myself why we take the time to pause from our daily routines and remember the real reason for this time of year. I was at Centre Street Church on Sunday and Pastor Storm puts it this way: “If God approached Jesus and said, I need you to become man and save the world. Jesus’ reply? I’m already there!” Storm’s perspective on Christmas should be the main reason why we should celebrate. Without this act, there will be no Christmas our salvation for that matter.

Anyways, back to being a hermit. Merry Christmas to all of you!
