So Close

This time of year is always the "best of times and the worst of times", at least for me. I love the holidays - I love the spirit of the season, the Christmas music, what it represents, the emphasis on family, and the fact that people decide to be nicer and more generous just because it's the holidays. On the other end of the spectrum is the fact that the year is coming to a close, which means the end of another semester of school. These next three weeks are typically loaded with papers, projects, tests, and what ever other manner of punishment our professors desire to inflict upon us. It's typically a pretty stressful time - you're trying so hard to enjoy the season, but trying to hold your pants up and keep everything together.

My holiday season had a wonderful start. Thanksgiving was such a joy and it was blessing to spend it with people who care, people I care about who were so loving and generous to me. Here's to a wonderful holiday season. May we all be able to hold it together enough to really understand what this time of year is all about! I'll be trying my hardest...I mean, after I stop procrastinating and start working on my stats project due Monday :)
