Yo estoy a casa.

It feels so good to be home again. Gray skies without a shred of sunlight to be seen. Temperatures below freezing. Walking outside feeling as if your lungs shrink from the sudden drop in temperatures. Driving through ice and snow praying you don't end up in the ditch.
Haha, what was I expecting!?!?! It feels as if I went from summer to winter in a matter of 4 hours. Still a bit hard to let it sink in. I've been looking forward to coming home for some time that it adds to the oddness that I am actually home. Can my first semester really be over with? Already?

It feels so good to be amongst my family and friends again though. I didn't realize I missed everyone as much as I did. I knew that it would be hard to be by myself, but the way it feels to be amongst individuals of like mind and faith make me think that it was harder than I realized.

I am happy to be home again for a month.

Yo estoy esperando.

Went to Ixtlan last weekend. Finally broke out my camera and took a few. Left over Thanksgiving was mighty tasty. I actually got home before it was dark too. That was nice.

I am moving today. Don't have a place as of yet, but a friend is letting me stay at her place and when I get back in January I'll find a place. I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to this as I'll be in a position ripe for ripping off. I looked at number of places but the whole roommate thing was up in the air so no decisions could be made. I was so spoiled in undergrad with great roommates that I don't think twice about having roommates. I realize now that the whole thing when friends live together and end up never speaking again happens more than I thought and scares some. When I get back I'm not forseeing a problem finding a place; I've already got a phone and I'll have my car, God will provide the rest.

I'm finding that the end of my semester is not nearly as hectic as undergrad semesters are. That is mainly due to the fact that a very important technique I learned in undergrad is to do as much as possible as soon as you can. I had all my project done a few weeks ago. This past weekend all I had to do was study. Quite a few of my classmates had to sacrifice study time to meet project deadlines. I want to say thanks to all of those pointless classes at ISU that have everything due in the last three weeks of the semester. Life lesson learned.
