You know it's getting close to Christmas when...

...lots of things you want are all on sale. At the same time.

Big W has Guitar Hero for Wii (or PS2). Toysrus has the new Big Brain Academy for Wii bundle. Target has Buzz: The Hollywood Quiz, a CD I want, and 15% off iTunes cards. Not to mention Order of the Phoenix next week, and At World's End the week after.

So what to do? I could wait to see if I get them for Christmas of course, but I never get games (Mum did offer to buy Guitar Hero, but then I wouldn't get much else, plus I hate knowing what I'm getting) and I now might be going to Sydney for a wedding the weekend after Christmas, and if I don't get enough time off work I may have to fly back, which would likely end up as my Christmas present. So now I'm thinking of getting Buzz (seeing as I've been waiting for a movies version since I first heard about the Music one, and also seeing as I was close to buying it with 15% off last weekend - glad I waited!) and Guitar Hero, as its a really good price. Big Brain can wait until Christmas or next year (though if Big W sells out of Guitar Hero I'll get it instead), and the CD can go on the Christmas list as well. Next dilemma is whether to use my gift card I received last night as a prize from uni (which I found rather funny) to pay for Buzz or to save it for Pirates (seeing as at the moment I'll be getting Phoenix from Big W). Decisions, decisions.

At least I've finally finished exams now (hence the posting break) and will have plenty of time to play them! I'm kind of missing uni already, even though I am going to Berwick tomorrow to be part of a meeting regarding reaccreditation of the Accounting degrees, which should be interesting. Plus there's a small gift (and I'll laugh even more if its another gift card). While I don't miss the exams or other workload, I do miss going to lectures and seeing my uni friends nearly every day. In the mean time, I do have lots of plans for the holidays, starting from cleaning out my room again, watching my way though all the DVDs I've bought and haven't watched, doing more outside and Film Festival stuff. My one big resolution is to have at least one computer-free day a week (I'm excluding the Wii in that - some may disagree, but its an active activity), which I don't know if I can follow it through, but I'm going to try. Wish me luck!
