I keep looking at the calendar and getting anxious. Not only is it almost midterm time for me, I also gotta worry about Christmas shopping.

I mean, I could do all my shopping online, but that feels a bit devoid of the spirit, right? Father Christmas doesn't go around checking off Amazon wishlists, that's just devoid of humanity, right there.

So I propose this! When midterms or finals or whatever are over, let's all go on a group shopping trip!

There are lots of shopping centers in Manhattan, right? Something for everyone! We'll make it a big school thing, and everyone can chip in to get gifts for our loved ones and family and whatnot!

Well... I think it's a good idea anyways.

That sounds like it could be nice. Shopping for gifts to send back home is simpler online, but...if it's for friends here, it would be more thoughtful, finding something in person.

The only problem would be trying not to let anyone else going along find out what you're getting them.

Another benefit to a big group, really.

That's true. It'd make it easier to run interference.

Though, I haven't even thought that much about how many people I need to shop for end-of-the-year gifts for yet, to be honest...

Plenty of time to make a list, by the sound if it.

That's true. I need to spend some time on it; gift-giving's different around here this time of year than it is back home.

Do you have a lot of people you'll need to shop for, back home?

My parents and my brother, back home. Got a list of people to shop for here, too.
