Almost there…

I know some people do suffer sometimes from homesickness while in college.  There’s nothing wrong with that, especially during spells of a couple months where people might not have the opportunity to visit.  I, luckily, haven’t had this problem while in college.  Yes, it’s always nice to go home and see family, but I enjoy the college atmosphere, too.  However, with the cold weather and snow just starting, I’ve found myself thinking repeatedly “almost there,” in reference to being close to break.  I’ve mentioned in previous blogs that I don’t think it’s good to wish time away because things will be over before you know it.  I’m already a junior in college when it seems like yesterday that I was applying.  Still, I’m about ready for turkey day.  

 But, as I look forward to both Thanksgiving and winter break, I’m reminded of all the work I have to do before I get there (specifically winter break).  There are exams, finals, final projects and presentations and of course more blogs to write.  I don’t mind the workload much really, but when it’s in the way of break I begin to resent it somewhat.  I know it’s only mid November (the 16^th to be exact), but Winter break is only one month away.  Hallelujah.  I guess in spite of the barrage of work all students are about to receive, there’s that to look forward too.
