The hallways quiet down, normal sleeping schedules are forgotten, and everyone just wants to go home!
I definitely need to get out of here! My beloved campus is beginning to feel a bit like prison.
Finals has been one of the biggest reasons why I have not posted in awhile. The other is lack of motivation. I swear my brain refuses to take in any other academic information until I submit to let it have a vacation. Instead of cramming (which I know barely does any good), I have been lounging doing nothing productive. Maybe I should be stressed out like my surrounding peers...or maybe I should just watch another episode of Firefly.
Easy decision...and back to Netflix I go!
I admit I am a bit of a bum lately, but the only thing I'm excited for is the up-and-coming holidays! Family awkwardness, trying to wrap gifts, praying I do not have to go to Walmart, and spending time with people I love and sometimes can't stand, and it's Christmas! This year will yet again top last year's level of awkwardness in my family, but I'm determined that it going to be a very merry Christmas no matter what.
Running around to visit everyone, watching A Christmas Story, baking cookies, watching the snow come down, and staring at the Christmas lights are the things I love. Something about Christmas lights at night never cease to make me stop and stare, because they're so beautiful!
I could care less about the amount of gifts under the tree, what we eat, or anything else. All that I want is to spend time with my families: the immediate, part of the extended, and my boyfriend's side who I'm overly blessed to spend this holiday with. Snow would be nice too!
Everything is wrapping up: the classes, the gifts, and the year. I hope for all that it is a good end to a year, and if you feel so inclined make a goal for the next one. My goal for the last few months was to find passion in my life again. I did. That's my Christmas gift; I found myself. I learned to love myself more than I ever had before. When I have time, I'll figure out my resolution for the coming year.
This winter break at "home" will bring smiles, laughter, and possibly tears, but right now there is no place I'd rather be.
