The Xmas List I Sent My Family

So mom sent me an email confirming our stay in Paducah and I realized it's October and I haven't made a Christmas list! And no one's even talking about it! I guess it is over a month away. [my relatives and immediate family celebrate Christmas at our family reunion over Thanksgiving break to save on postage].. but oh well, I'll start it since I know what I need/want (i'll let you be the judge).

1. New Laptop (and no Aunt Joy, I'm still not taking yours)- I have officially met the "Blue Screen of Death" twice now and also had my computer think it wasn't plugged in and the battery dead. It's lived a good long life but it's gotta go. I need a computer with a webcam for when I'm in Shanghai, China so I can skype. It also needs to be able to hold a loooooooot of pictures because I have no idea how many I have but I have over 80 albums on Facebook and they don't have all of my pictures so that should give you some idea of how important that is. Obviously computers are expensive but this is primarily for school so it doesn't need to be super expensive. As long as it has the two things above and Word and Internet then we're good ;)

2. French Lessons During December- For those of you who don't know I will be picking up French again my winter term of school (starting January) so I have now until then to become practically fluent in it (which I never was by the way) because the teacher speaks French in class 95% of the time. So my plan is to do a little bit of studying everyday, maybe even seeing the tutor if I can't remember something, and maybe over skype take French lessons [in December]. The lessons are cheaper if I do them over skype but [do] NOT let that fool you- these things are exPENsive (I'm seriously considering doing this once I graduate now) so if you guys want to go together on this one or just give me money that'd be fabulous because I'm gonna need a looooot of help. (In case you were wondering, I am still taking Chinese).

3. Luggage- I do not have my own set of luggage and my next trip I'm going to be gone for 3 months. So I'm gonna need a lot of luggage. Just don't get me black. I'm begging you. Or pink. Or super floral. Why don't you just take me with you?

4. I feel like that's a lot right there...

5. Money?

6. An all expenses paid trip to somewhere warm for spring break so it can feel like spring?

7. Guaranteed As in my classes?

8. A place (i.e. condo, townhouse, house,etc.)?

9. I would say a new camera if I can't find mine but I HAVE to have a camera before Thanksgiving so I can take pictures of everyone.. I mean that just goes without saying.

10. HGTV's Sarah's House on DVD?

That's absolutely all I can think of right now... I really don't need a lot... It's just the few things I need are a lot :p

Love Always,
Courtney
