Winter Break

Winter Break starts up soon (I go home tomorrow) and I'm really not that excited to go back home.

Same as before, I just don't feel like there's that much there for me anymore. I'm going to miss all of my new friends! Our break is around six weeks and that's an awfully long time to put my new life on hold and sit around at home. Hopefully I can see a friend or two from high school. I don't keep up with many of those people anymore, but there are a handful I wouldn't mind sitting down for lunch or dinner with. I've got some plans brewing but nothing too much...

Awesome close-up of a snowflake.

I am particularly excited for a few things, though... I'll be picking up the cello over this break and I'm going to a swing event with J. Also will be seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (J - you going or not?!). So I have a few things to look forward to. I suppose I look forward to Christmas, but only in the sense that I like the atmosphere for those few days.

All in all, I could use a break... I'm just not sure being home for those 40-odd days is exactly the break I want or need. But, in light of the season, to anyone reading this: Happy Holidays! I hope yours is fun, fancy, and fulfilling!
