Well, today was back to normal as the Thanksgiving break ended. I had a great time over the break. I went to the movies with my family, ate way too much turkey and cranberry sauce, and went Christmas shopping with my mother.
But my break wasn't all fun; I had work I needed to get done as well. I find it much harder to focus on work at home than when I am in my dorm room (I don't know why... maybe just because there are more distractions at home with family and cats and stuff), but Saturday afternoon I sat in the living room with my laptop and got work done. It helped that I was the only one in the house for a little while, so I could just put on some Christmas music (yes, it is that time of year.. yay!!!) and wrote papers and worked. And I finished it. I have gotten much better at focusing and finishing work quickly and efficiently. It's something I've learned this semester.
And now it's back to school, although we only have a couple more days of lecture left. Then begins the real craziness that are final exams. I'll probably end up spending a lot of my down time studying, but exactly one week from Wednesday I will be done and I can go home for the break. I am looking forward to that. It is a great feeling to be finished with my first semester of college (and knowing that I survived it)!
Just a little bit longer... yay! ![]()
