It is now Christmas Eve, and usually I would've arrived home some time last week, and I wouldn't leave until the day before the semester begins up again. Well, as it just so happens this year, I have to work for most of break: I got home just two nights ago and I leave in just two days. And yes, that is a very short amount of time, I'm well aware of that. But won't it be like that when I'm older and move away and have a grown-up job? One would assume so....
But all that aside, it's nice to be home, no matter how long or short the stay. I get to see family for Christmas, I get to sleep in my big, comfy bed, I get to see my best friends, I got to spend all my money on Christmas presents....? Well that's a down-side, but still, it doesn't hurt to give a little during the holidays.
And then it's back to Pennsylvania on Sunday: back to my apartment, back to the university, and back to work. I managed to get a promotion though, and the timing was perfect; training starts Monday so I can get it all out of the way before the semester starts up again (and then I'm stressed out of my mind once again....) and let's be honest, the pay increase doesn't hurt either. It'll be something else to keep me busy, because we all know I need that or I'll drive myself to insanity.
