A little tardy to the party but here are some snippets of our holiday festivities. I will say that after 3.5 weeks of being home and relaxing I still feel like the time flew by. Thank goodness I get another chance to visit soon in February!

I'm so bummed that the holidays are over and also that so many of my classes look a little heavy on the coursework. Probably shouldn't have planned on skipping the first 3 days AND a whole week of school this semester but I'm just going to keep telling myself that I've "earned" it (which is a perfectly great argument for most indulgences - you should try it). Thank goodness my neighborhood seems to be easing out of the holidays, I hate when people tear down all signs of Christmas come January 2. And there seems to be a lot of positive energy flying around with New Years resolution season in full swing!
I have quite a bit going on this week as I'm applying for a job (eek!) as well as to a few grad programs (also eek!) and making the trek back up north for my LAST semester. I have a feeling that graduation is going to leave me a little shell shocked, but I am so ready to have that little piece of paper in my hand after four years of
misery hard work.
What are you up to during this back-to-school / back-to-reality week? Thanks for reading!
