Fall quarter has come to a close here at RIT. No more classes, no more exams, no more projects, no more presentations. Just lots of catching up on sleep and inevitable gorging on turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. With the close of the quarter comes big changes - starting my internship, Christmas time ( :D ), and having my boyfriend be 7 hours away rather than 10 minutes. Big adjustment there.
Bright side: no homework, no exams, more time to cook and bake, new experiences.
Down side: boredom, no money, daily commutes in the ill-tempered Rochester winter.
But... no time to dwell. It's time for the holidays! I'll admit, I cheated a bit... Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" may have been played in my car this evening. I know, I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. But I can't help it. I'm excited! Going home this week means good holiday food, much-needed time with my parents, and hunting around for Christmas decorations that will go unused this holiday season (that is, if it weren't for me and my yet-to-be-decorated apartment :D).
In other news - go see Harry Potter 7. It's dark, scary, creepy, and sad... but very well done. My inability to finish reading series has caused me to not read the associated book, but I maintain that it is awesome. Maybe I'll shlep up the entire series to Rochester upon my post-Thanksgiving return to eventually reread (hooray, distractions). I also intend to capitalize upon ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas (no homework, remember?), which I believe will be an exquisite use of my time. Oh and Netflix Gods, prepare to be sending me DVDs more often now. I will make sure I actually chip away at my recently-renewed queue this time. Pinkie promise.
Goals for the winter: make a snowman in my patio area, see as many RIT hockey games as possible, not go broke, learn lots of things at my internship, and survive in general. See? My priorities are in line - snowman first, survive last. Sounds about right.
