Looming Days

Okay, so the end is in sight. At least for this semester! I have a few things lined up, which are very exciting for me.

One of these is my trip to Ireland this summer, it's only for a week but I cannot wait! I'll be in the Emerald Isle for my birthday, 22nd to be exact. =) But, that is a whole "experience" according to University. They have decided that I still have to take a class about this trip, read books and write papers...OH and keep a journal. I love how traveling for college credit is really a big pain in the ass. But I'll get it done.

Anyhow, I am not particularly looking forward to the Holidays. My mom is very morose about them, and that's the only word I can even think to describe her feelings. Holidays are not happening this year for the Holmes crew. On top of previous events, my poor mother has been thrust into my father's former work positions since she is in-charge of everything. Regardless of what she says she will be getting Christmas presents and she will like them. That's that. I will be spending holidays with friends and Shon and his family. Which will be nice, but at the same time it won't be anywhere near the same as it always was. Days--they change, so do entire lives. So, here's to that...or something.

Counting down till the end of the semester, which cannot come soon enough. Only to start again in January...I can't wait for this whole school thing to be over--that is as long as I have a J-O-B when I'm done :) That's the tricky part these days!

Anyhow, enjoy Thanksgiving. I'll be out BLACK FRIDAY :) Expect some interesting stories from that experience. I am now addicted to fatwallet.com so you should probably check that out befor eyou go shopping too!

Best.
