now for the rest of break

Christmas with my family was just plain wonderful. I can't tell you how much I love these people. The more time I spend with my family, the more I wish that I could go back to being 17 or something and just staying here forever. But people grow up, move on, and begin their own lives. That's the way things go.

I haven't been doing much beyond family stuff. I'm still not ready to pick up something requiring persistence or thinking yet. Maybe it's senioritis. Or maybe I'll get over it and start reading a book tomorrow.

Victoria and I have been going to the Y every morning, which is nice. I want to get back into routine with things again. Plus, that gives me a chance to spend some time with Victoria. We've done a lot together over break. Nothing exceedingly exciting, just shopping and cooking and that kind of thing. It's been good because I still consider her one of my closest friends and I miss her a whole lot when she's away. I've also got to spend a good bit of time with Briana, which is good as well. My family is just full of awesome people and I'm so thankful that I get to hang out with them over break.

Well, tonight Alex and I had dinner and we said goodbye since he's moving to Boston. I hate goodbyes. I'm already bracing myself for all the ones I'll have to say at the end of this semester. It's not happy, but I'll deal. I have no choice. It'd be nice if things stayed the same all the time (I'm a fan of stability) but they don't so I have to grow up and deal with it.

As for the rest of break...not much planned. On Monday Patrick & I are going to the state museum together. Victoria and I will be going to the Y every day it's open. Andrew, Chad, Jason, & I leave for Rhode Island to visit Brown on January 5, and will be returning a few days after. No plans beside those. I'm going to try to scrape together some motivation to do something useful, like read a book or two, or finish a grad school application. We'll see.

Mmk. Speaking of doing something useful...I think I'll clean up my room so that I can eventually go to bed tonight! 'Night, sleep well.
