I spent entirely too much money and ate entirely too much food over Thanksgiving break. I didn’t get to see as many people as I wanted to, unfortunately, and most of my time spent at home was spent blowing my nose and angrily squirting eye drops into my eyes. In other words, I had horrible allergies the entire time I was home. That may be attributed to the two small dogs running through the house, along with the sick cat I had to take to the vet.
Don’t get me wrong, I love going home. It’s just that, once I’m there, I spend a lot of time thinking about coming back to school. I enjoy hanging out with friends, but then again it always seems like no one’s home or everyone’s busy. Also, the allergies don’t really help my cause either. I like being able to just relax, though. It’s always really important to me to be able to take a step back from work and stress, and just relax and enjoy life.
I’m going to be spending two weekends in a row in an airport, and honestly I couldn’t be happier. I know that not many people enjoy airports, but I actually like them. Especially when I’m by myself, just sitting there, people-watching. I usually buy a TIME magazine or just sit there on my laptop, but it’s really not that bad. I’ve found that my time spent at an airport is a time of self-reflection, and right now that’s pretty good for me. I’m in-between identity crises (I swear, that’s the plural for crisis, I looked it up), and right now I just need to reflect and make sure that I’m OK with myself.
That’s all for right now. I’m still getting over my sickness a bit, so I’d better go lay down and pray for a night without fever dreams.

I remember the horrible effects those dogs have on your allergies.
Even if it’s a small and boring town, I think spending a week of drinking SuperChief coffee each morning is still one of my favorite things to do.
