It's not looking anything like Christmas

It's been about a month since I last posted. It's not feeling like Christmas at all around here. I am very stressed out with school related politics. It all comes back to our a-hole of a president and his stupid No Child Left Behind legislation that is actually leaving more students behind every year. But, I am not going to bitch about that. Since moving down to Virginia, I have become accustomed to the fact that I will never see snow for more than two days at a time. I never really liked snow anyway. But, for crying out loud, would someone tell the leaves on the tree in my front yard to turn brown and fall off already?
