First semester almost over already? Color me excited.

It's 5 minutes until Thursday, and my week is over once the weekend starts, so we'll call this week just about over. That being said, I have just one more week of classes then one week of finals until I go home for a month for winter break. What a crazy thing to think about. I feel like I just got here. 

A lot of things have happened over the course of the first semester. I had made and lost friends. I've worked my way up the ladder in a sport I've never done before. I've realized that the cold in Ithaca has been, to this point, completely overblown and overrated. My grades have gone up and down. I like to think that the grade in the class that I write this blog for is staying decent (And it depends on your definition of "decent"), but it might not be on account of how behind I am on the blogs. I've had one consistent independent throughout my entire first semester and that has been my weekends. The weekends are their own entity and I never know what to expect from them but, at the same time, I know everything to expect from them. That might be a curse and a blessing.

I think the most bizarre thing has been making trips home for vacations and discovering that my bed at home is not as comfortable as the one at school. Telling my Mom this was the wrong move, for all sorts of reasons. The most comforting thing going home for these breaks has definitely been the fact that my douchebag friends from home have not become bigger douchebags since we all left for school because they think they're the shit because they've been at college for a few months partying. We've all been doing that...

But luckily, they're the same douchebags, who I love. I just hope they stay the same for Christmas.
