Break is finally here.
After revising all my papers, giving all my presentations and taking all my finals I am finally done! While I'm definitely glad to be home and relaxing (I just woke up at 11:30), this break is a little bitter sweet for me, because for all I know it may be my last one. I'm also using the break to look for jobs after I graduate and most of them are taking me to places across the world. While I can't wait to get a job and travel, its a little daunting thinking how far away from home I could be.
So with that thought in the back of my mind I'm enjoying every minute of this break. Aside from shoveling my parents driveway a ton, I've been spending time catching up with old friends, enjoying some cooking and spending time with my family. And yes, sleeping as late as possible.
I'm really looking forward to the end of break, though, when I head to D.C. I'm going to take a 10-day class that culminates with the inauguration! I'm so excited to get back to D.C. and the reason I'm going makes me even more excited.
If I have the time and internet capabilities I'm going to try to blog about it some while I'm there so check back. In the meantime, however, I'm going to go shovel and take a nap.

Crazy...
Life has been pretty crazy lately. Thanksgiving break was great, but when I came back Monday a tempest of activity awaited my return. First of all, this is the last week of classes, with finals starting next week. I've got a couple papers due, a couple end-of-the year tests and one project. So in case school wasn't enough to keep me busy I tacked a bunch of other stuff on.
-The Christmas Vespers Program: This Christmas tradition at Coe is a combination of readings, prayers, singing and all around Christmas joy. I had the honor of reading this year.
-Intermural Racquetball: I love racquetball. I love it so much that when it was announced and IM league was being played this fall I signed up for both singles and doubles. We're in the final couple days right now which means scrambling to finish all my games (I played 4 matches Tuesday afternoon!)
-Kohawk Basketball: The Kohawk men and women opened conference play last night at home. One of my friends and I are "the voice of the Kohawks," bringing the game to the world via the Kohawk Sports Network on the internet.
-Student Senate: Last Saturday we had out Budget and Finance Day. As the treasurer I oversaw the proceedings as we allocated over $140,000 to our clubs and organizations across campus. We had to discuss the budgets before the full Senate on Wednesday night.
-Job Search Workshop: Our Career Services Office held a workshop designed to give graduating seniors tips on how to find jobs. This was a pretty big reality check for me - I graduate in 6 months!
-Sherry Wott- Sherry is a diversity speaker coming to campus speaking on how to have difficult dialogue. Its sponsored by the Residence Life Department and sounds like an interesting talk.
-The Office: Now this probably doesn't sound as important as the others, but it definitely is. Every Thursday night for the whole semester anywhere from 5 to 20 fill my apartment for our weekly ritual of watching Steve Carell create awkward moments and drop unforgettable one-liners.
Oh yeah, and I write this blog which has already taken enough of my time for today... I've got a paper to write!
