I had a nice holiday at home, away from most things electronic and internet. Sometimes, it's good for us to drop the gadgets and live life not glued to a newsfeed and continuous stream of emails. Now, it's back to that thing called school, work, and making a career.
I flew home last Saturday (I love Boston, but extended times away from "home" can take their toll, too...), and this morning, I caught the train back to Massachusetts. I always loved riding trains in Europe, but I'd never ridden one in the States. It's cool...but not so cool traveling for 14 hours while sick. :( Yes, unfortunately, I woke up yesterday with a fever. Ugh. Fever seems to be gone, but I still feel like crap and totally drained. However, I feel myself already pushing myself to swim through the pile of work I've neglected and ignore what my body is telling me. Good thing and also a very bad thing.
I've got a crazy next 3 1/2 weeks before my Christmas holiday. From the get-go, I am facing: sneezing, endless nose-blowing, a voice on the brink of taking its own unapproved holiday, fatigue, exhaustion, 10 songs to memorize, other misc. homework, reading assignments, and a semi-up-in-the-air work schedule. And...cue after-break panic attack. ACK! NyQuil working its way into my system, so I'm going to go pass out now...

Since going off to school, I kind of forfeited my room at home, so I have sort of been a couch surfer (and let me say that we have one of the comfiest couches!). When I got home last week, though, my mom and little sister had created a little "room" for me under my sister's loft bed complete with a "marshmallow bed," nightstand, lamp, musically-ornamented tapestries and bedding, a "complimentary gift basket," and a section of the closet with my clothes organized by style! (I didn't realize I still had that many clothes at home...haha!) Thanks. :)
