Countdowns

Like I have stated before, this is one of my favorite times of the year.  Mainly just because of the holidays.  I love eating a ton food, and most importantly seeing my family and friends.  This year it is a little different though.  That is due to the fact that I have not seen some of my friends from home in months.  And I have only seen my immediate family once or twice in the four months that I have been away at school.  SO having a little break from the stress at school will be nice.  Wrapping this in with the title, this is the time of year where various forms of countdowns are taking place.  I feel like it is a safe assumption to guess that most people are either counting down to their last day of work/school before they go on Thanksgiving break, or until winter break, or maybe even until black Friday, cannot beat those deals.  For my schedule, I get about a week off from school for Thanksgiving, then I come back for about two weeks to take finals, then I am on winter break for a whole month.  I do enjoy my time here, but to relax for a little bit and not have to think about to assignments will be nice.  I am obviously very looking forward to eating as much as I possibly can on Thanksgiving, and then making sure the leftovers do not last that much longer.  Long story short, I am excited for break.
