Thanksgiving break is the relief I have been waiting for. I was finally able to get away from the busy, on the go all the time feeling. I was so ready to escape to my home and my bed. Oh how I have missed it. The drive home always puts me on edge. I have had too many bad experiences with the four hour drive home. My eagerness to get home actually overrode my already splitting nerves. The whole drive home seemed to drag on and on and on. It went rather smoothly despite the Houston traffic.
Getting home I was asked what I am doing in school. I could not find any better words then the ones I posted in my last blog. Once they read through my thoughts and happenings all they could do was look at me and say, "Wow". After their shock subsided, they replied “just think about the long run and how this will really help you.” I agreed, but it was the last thing I wanted to think about on this holiday break. I really needed to escape into the happenings of my family and friends. I learned the current gossip of my family, the who's who, and I meet up with new people and the old and familiar. The on the go feeling was still there but it lacked the pressure of a deadline.
Enjoying the company of loved ones set my mind and body at ease. I was able to take a deep breath of fresh air and get ready to come back to school with a determined and focused outlook on everything. I can get what I need to get done for my group now. The short vacation was needed and enjoyed to the fullest. I shall miss the break, but I still have Christmas break to look forward to and once I get there I shall be done. I cannot wait until the finals and projects end so I can finally sit down and say "I did it!"
