Is it me or did this semester fly by in a blink of the eye? Maybe that is always the case with fall semesters. I still feel like I just started school two weeks ago and I have less than two weeks left. But winter is in the air, and that means Christmas is quickly approaching. My family isn’t traditional about most things, and that includes xmas, but I still love all the holiday sentiments around.

I’m looking forward to:

• digging out my thick sweaters for those cold january days
• being home for four full weeks and finally seeing friends and Dad for the first time in a YEAR
• parties and shopping
• minimal to no work…at last.
