Because I have the attention span of a fly right now, I would just like to share with you some things on my mind.
If you don't already know, today is Friday. Finally. This week has been so long and I just didn't enjoy it. Nothing special happened and school went by. so. slowly. I really hope the next week and a half go by fast because then I'll be on vacation until the fourth. 
I seriously need this vacation. Not like I'm going to have nothing to do because I know some of my teachers will give me homework in the form of projects. Fun, right? I know they want us to stay "active" over the vacation, but really? I don't want to have to worry about some project that I know won't do until the third probably.
I will have something to look forward to on my vacation, Christmas. I just realized about five minutes ago that it's in only two weeks. I can't believe how soon it's coming up. It'll be even more awesome when next week flies by (crossing my fingers on that one).
I still have to get my older brother's, mom's, and dad's present sometime during these two weeks. I already know what I'm getting my brother, but my mom and dad, no clue. My mom did just get an espresso machine (omgilovethatthing) and my brother was thinking about getting like cups/accessories for it, but I'm not going to be spending hundreds of dollars on some accessory that will probably barely do anything to the coffee itself.
When do you get off for vacation (if you do)? Do you still have holiday shopping to do?

I hope I'm not breaking the big news to anyone here, but Santa Claus is not real... at least from what I've gathered over my fifteen years on Earth. It just dawned on me about two days ago (or whenever I wrote down this blog post idea), when I was watching a commercial about a little girl placing a letter to Santa into the post box, what happens to these letters?
Now, I have no clue how the United States postal system works, or for that matter, any other countries' postal system. I wonder if the post men collect all the letters in a large bin and send them somewhere. I'm pretty sure that there is some sort of system in place for this time of the year. But maybe they really do send them to the North Pole. 
Another thought that crossed my mind was that they were sent over to the soldiers in Iraq. I know that lots of things are sent over there to keep their spirits up... or so I'm told. I'm not positive on this, but it could be a destination for this destinationless letters.
OR there could be a little system between the mail person and the parents. The parents could ask the postal person to give the letters back to them so they know what "Santa" should get their child(ren). I don't know anyone who does this but that would be seriously awesome for the kids who lock themselves in their room with a piece of paper and a crayon, and being writing their hieroglyphics on said paper. You know, the kids who don't let their parents know what they want? Yeah, I was one of these kids.
That's what I think could happen to these Santa letters. This really isn't a blog post, more of like a little thought that never really crossed my mind, and thought it would be nice to actually figure it out. What do you think happens to these letters because they (hopefully) don't send them all to the North Pole where they are addressed, or to Santa's house, which ever the child wrote on the envelope?
