Dead Week

Today marks the beginning of dead week...I'm not sure if that's supposed to be ironic or not. All I know is that for the next week I can mostly be found in my room studying for this plethora of finals that I have. Great. At least it's the one time no one can fault me for not having a social life. I'm definitely ready to go home for a break...and not just one of those long weekend teasers. I'm talking about multiple weeks not having to worry about school. I do have to say that this semester has flown by. Three down (almost). Part of me feels like I've been in college forever, but at the same time it feels like I just moved here. Maybe it's a good thing it's going fast, because who knows how many more years I have left. (That's not a happy thought.) But....IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS! Christmas happens to be my favorite holiday. I love being able to spend time with my family. It's the one time of year we can all find time to be together. As we get older it has been getting harder and harder to find time with everyone's busy schedules. So who knows how many more years we'll be able to keep this up. It's a little sad, but exciting too. Some days I think "Wow, I'm 20. Where did all the time go?" And other days I'm running around in the snow acting like a kid. Who knows where I'll be in the future, but, for the most part, the present is really fun.

I'll be home in a little less than 2 weeks. That means I'll get to see Caitlin, who has been gone since September. If you're reading this, enjoy your last week(s) in the DR! I can't wait to catch up!
