Adulthood and Christmas

I can't get over the lives of some of the people that I went to high school with.  Kaity is off roughing it in the wilderness of Nevada.  Steph is off in the real world with a real job with a real paycheck. I just read this one guy from high school's blog post about living and teaching in Africa.  Then there are the numerous people who are engaged or married. They're buying their own places and starting a completely new life. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm 22 years old, soon to be 23.  Honestly, I feel more like I'm 19 or 20.  I definitely don't feel any older than 21, if that.  

Christmas is a week away and I'm done buying Christmas presents from my mom, dad, and Alyssa.  I would love to spend more on them or buy presents for my friends but 1. I have no money, no income, and I hate using my debit card or taking money from my dad. 2. My friends and I don't really even exchange gifts so there isn't much of a point to go out of my way to get them stuff.  We might be doing a White Elephant gift exchange or something though so that would be something at least.

While I'm on the topic of Christmas, I've felt strangely indifferent about it this year.  I haven't felt like listening to Christmas music, which is so unlike me.  I'm not really even excited about it.  I am excited to go to Kentucky and see Grandma, the Gergels, and the New York Pojmans though.
