almost there

Hello,

Well one more day left. No, strike that, I will be leaving here in 22 hours and in 26 hours I will be home! I need to be home. I only have one more final and then home. Surprisingly enough it's a writing final.

This past week has been finals week. It has been a little bit of hell. I don't mind the studying part. I just have trouble starting to study. I never seem to have the motivation. Then there is the part where I am not studying and have no homework and thus I have no life. I really have nothing to do.

Thus I have discovered games online that hold my interest until I can think of something better to do.

I don't have to do anything until about 2 tomorrow.

There are a few things left to pack though. Maybe I will pack in the morning, there are also things that I need to take down because a) a member of my family will be walking in here and b) the RAs do a walk through to check for that stuff. Though they know us so they won't look too closely.

So here is a list of stuff I have yet to pack:
-my make-up
-my perfumes and lotions
-my meds
-my iHome
-a picture that I drew that I am giving to my friend
-two books that I would enjoy reading over break
-my CDs and DVDs (many of which I have accumulated since being here)
-my ipod car stuff
-my ipod
-the gifts for people

I just want to be home.

I have a strange sense of Christmas movies. While I appreciate the ones that have a Christmas theme to them, I think of Christmas movies differently. Christmas movies to me are ones that I always watch around Christmas. They really have nothing to do with Christmas, but I really only watch them at that time.

My Christmas movies are The Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music. There are normally a few other classics that I watch but really those are the two I need to see for Christmas to be near.

It doesn't feel like Christmas is anywhere near. I think it is because I am away at college and there really are no preparations for it and really the thing I have been focused on has been finals. So now I will go home and be thrust into Christmas spirit.

I think it will be a culture shock going home. I am used to one way of living now, and it is much different from the one at home. Now I must go home for a month and learn how to live there and then come back to college and readjust. Oh well I think I will be ok since I have 18 years of experience living with my family, so really it will just be slight adjustments to make and remember.

I think break will go by to fast at first and then it will be to slow. I will be happy with it, I am sure of that though. You enjoy the spirit of universal love and giving. That is the greatest part of this season.
