The Never Ending Break (Only It's Almost Over)

So here we are, the last few days of winter break are upon us.  So much has happened this break, and at the same time I feel like hardly anything has happened.  It's been a while since my last update so let's begin with coming home.

It took ten hours and three stops for gas but I made it home.  Christmas was a  pretty wonderful event.  It was very relaxed uneventful and wonderfully warm just like it should be in Florida.  From Christmas we move on to New Years which was spent with a bunch of good friends and included a dramatic reading of the lyrics of Auld Lang Sine and altogether way to many incessant fireworks. Fireworks and I have this thing, you see, I don't like them and they are loud and terrifying, so I guess it's actually a one sided thing.

After New Years I got to sing during the 11o'clock service at church again and Kyle told me that he had resigned.  And as a matter of fact he just lead the service for the last time this past Sunday.  It was a bitter sweet time.

I also went to Ohio with my favorite Emily to just hang out with her during her first week of the spring semester at her university, and believe it or not I'm actually thinking about transferring there next fall.  Nothing is set in stone, I haven't even finished my application, but I'm more than willing to see where it leads.

As I previously said it's almost time to go back to school.  I'm so ready to see my friends again, but at the same time I do NOT want to leave home.  I thought that by the end of the break I would be chomping at the bit to leave, but honestly I feel like digging in my heals and refusing to go.  I don't want to go back and start classes and be away from home until March, but I'm sure that this is really a normal feeling.  It's just tough.
