Holidays and Distractions

Today I ordered a Christmas gift. It made me cringe a little to order a gift this far before Christmas, but in reality I have already started making some Christmas gifts. In fact, I started back in September. Before Christmas, though, we celebrate Thanksgiving. In a week I will be on Thanksgiving break which I am very much looking forward to. The truth that Thanksgiving break is coming soon is not lost on our professors as they have been gracious in realizing that we do not want to do school work over the break, so they have assigned our papers due before the break. That means more work for us (me) to do now. Sigh.
The work I have to do SHOULD be occupying my thoughts and efforts, but sadly it is not. Since we are so close to the end of the semester I am looking more and more at what options I have for classes next semester, what I will do over my breaks (maybe study Hebrew?), and realizing that I am about 1/4 of the way through my degree. Wow.
I have also discovered that Facebook and blogging are great tools to distract oneself from the imminent school work.
