Or, at least, a long winter week of my first finals in college. It's not that I'm worried about finals. I'm just overly ready for my break to start. I'm going on vacation with my family and Shawn (though he could be considered family at this point). I'll be home for a day short of two weeks then back here to the apartment for a week and a half with Shawn. By Friday, I will not have seen him for three weeks. It's the longest we've ever gone and I am more than ready for it to be over.
Much to my surprise, the holidays aren't bringing me down like they usually do. I've been feeling it when I'm out and about and the christmas music isn't irritating me or making me sad. I noticed it when I watched the snow fall last week and wasn't pissed off about it. I don't remember the last holiday season where I wasn't just absolutely dreadful: my mental state, my attitude. It feels like christmas: the wonder, the love, all those nice feelings from when I was very, very young. I'm even excited for christmas morning.
But that's all I have time to go into. My composition class's final is a simple three page paper that I just have to turn in during the allotted 2 hour final exam time. I haven't even started it, naturally. So I have to whip that up today and start on my winter presents for everyone. But I feel much more ambitious than I have the past couple of days so hopefully all will get accomplished that needs to be.
