This term of school is done now
I passed my classes
But wait, no rest yet
It’s the holidays, you dolt!
Shop, wrap, bake, cook, clean.
I took my last final exam last night, even though I was still recovering from the plague. I didn’t do as well as I could have, but I know I still passed the class. This morning I took a deep breath, thinking that I would have some free time for the next few weeks between school sessions.
Then the crushing reality of the holidays fell on my head when I realized we haven’t purchased any Hanukkah gifts yet and we’re celebrating with Aaron’s family on Sunday. Ack! Christmas isn’t even on my to-do radar yet. So much for free time.
Sometimes I don’t like being a grown up very much.
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.
Congrats on passing all of your classes!
Congratulations on passing those classes — wish you had time to stop and enjoy!
Busy, busy, holidays. Blah. Good luck with your shopping!
I concur. Sometimes being a grown up is not all it’s cracked up to be. Congrats on finishing…school at least.
Your ku reminds me that there’s always something. Glad you passed. Enjoy the “free” time.
Congratulations on finishing and passing your classes! Good luck with the shopping and stuff – I’m with you on all of that. It is so difficult to get the basics done that I have only ordered a few gifts online for the girls – nobody else – and we’re seeing a lot of family… whee…
Congrats on being done with the semester. Must feel great. Relax and sit back and enjoy the holidays!
As per the last line: You and me both, sweet lady.
I always wondered why the holidays stressed my mom out so much…Now I get it. Being grown-up is not so fun in December.
Jennifer, Le Binky Bitch
Good luck on getting the shopping done! And CONGRATS on getting through the tests sick!
I enjoyed your Haiku. Hope you’re feeling better, and get to enjoy the season. 🙂
Congrats on passing! Try to find a few minutes to take a deep breath and enjoy the season!

My first Haiku Friday, Yay! Started off with a really bad one (cringing) guess it can only improve from there!
Excellent use of the word dolt. I applaud you.
As I was riding my bike in the house yesterday morning before Evan woke up (something new… we’ll see how long it lasts), I came up with this one:
So what if mine’s a seven
five seven haiku?
Bring it on, haiku police.
Just popping in to say thanks for you visit and comment. It’ll be my pleasure to join in the haiku fun. Will give me a chance to get better at it, hopefully.
Passing the class is good. We like passing.
Huge congrats – whoo whoo WHOO!
Yeay you on completing that class. One more under your belt. And hope your holidays find you with a bit of free time to catch your breath.
