Holiday Spirit away from Home

With November and the sudden batch of colder 'northern front' weather making all of us freeze, I've found myself more homesick then I have been this entire semester. I miss talking to my parents and to my sister. I miss curling up with my dogs in a pile of blankets on that especially cold day near the fire. I miss just being wrapped up in blankets on a chilly day with my family and being together. The cold weather always makes me think of the holidays and my family, but I never realized before now how different the cold weather feels when your not at home, or just not with your family.

Every day I'm reminded how little time there is left until finals and the winter break is here, which makes me excited because I cannot wait to go home, but it also fills me with this feeling of dread because that means that finals are almost here. I'm aiming for all A's on all of my finals, but I'm not sure how successful I will be considering some of the grades I have...

But I just have to make it through one more month. I just have to listen to Christmas and other holiday music and drink hot chocolate and remind myself I'm almost home. After all its never too early to get into the Holiday Spirit, no matter where you are.
