Things
Called my dad today and he told me that my brother had decided to name his little daughter Ruth. He also said that her Chinese name would probably be JieLing (Jie - Pure, Ling - Spirit) which is such a lovely name. What a beautiful name to live up to...
After all the excitement of Egypt and the Sphinx and camels and the pyramids and temples and mummies and suchlike, I'm so glad to return to soothing Leeds and my friends here. Although I've not seen anyone yet due to my being stuck in the library (trying to) study, it feels so comfortable and familiar to be back.
I seem to have done alot today - my laundry, organising my file, my room, typing out a study timetable, emailing and calling my parents, planning out what I have to do for the next few weeks, and studying a sixth of a quarter of a subject... Yet it's not very much to me, and I really need to do more.
I'm going down to Katie's to spend Christmas with her from the 24th to the 27th. It'll be my first English Christmas and I'm really looking forward to being with a family again. Katie says the programme is going to be:
24th: midnight service
25th: opening presents, eating and watching The Snowman
26th: visiting aunt and cute wee James and Boxing Day shopping
and then it'll be back to Leeds and the comforting routine of studying and the steady smiles of friends.

Pure Spirit, great name - why does she need the additional Ruth? JieLing is easy enough to pronounce.
As for your Christmas schedule, sounds like a traditional british holiday. Although the midnight service at the church has been largely moved to the pubs these days. LOL
Merry Christmas.
