One Thing I'll Miss

As I begin to settle into a euphoric state of winter break bliss, it dawns on me that this might be my last one for a while. Although I am looking forward to graduation in June, there will definitely be things that I miss about being an undergrad, living in the university life bubble.

After a long term, it is so nice to be able to relax for a few weeks before starting the next. I realize that this luxury is not likely to continue after I graduate. So, this is, in fact, my last winter break.

I plan to soak it up as much as possible. Although I will have things that I have to get done this break, I will also be focusing a great deal on just relaxing and doing the things that I have been unable to do during the term. I'm especially looking forward to going to spend some time at home and in Napa visiting my family. I think I will spend ample amounts of time is coffee shops drinking fabulous teas and possibly going to my favorite bead store to make gifts for people (and for myself!).

I wonder what life is like without three weeks off in the winter, a week off in the spring, and three months of summer vacation. I like to think that I will be doing such wonderful work that I won't even notice, but I think, in the end, I will miss it. Someday, maybe I'll be able to get it back! There is always room for dreaming. For now, however, I am going to enjoy this! I'm going to sleep in, relax, and be jolly.
