More like holiday buzzkill. I'm unbelievably excited to go home for Thanksgiving this year. I haven't spent a turkey day with my family since I was 22 and it's been way too long since I've seen my little brothers. But finals are getting in the way of my excitement!
Before I leave in less than three days, I have a presentation and a group paper due. Two days after I get back I have a cumulative final, the day after that another group paper and presentation and then I get an entire week to study for my Global Capital Markets final and rest up for my latest half marathon.
Luckily, the majority of the papers are done, I'm not too worried about the finals and I've been training for the half marathon. But it's officially Thanksgiving season and between the end of the semester and the lack of real holiday spirit in LA, it might as well be August around here.
I haven't put up a Christmas tree in two years and I doubt I'm going to do so again this year. It's not that I don't have the time or space, but by the time I'm done with finals and running, I'll be a week and a half away from going to Detroit until after the new year. My Christmas tree is a little sparse and all my good ornaments are packed away at my mom's house, but I'm sure the act of putting on some holiday music, boiling the mulling spices and decorating the apartment would put me in a jolly mood. However, I most likely won't do it because I know I'm the only one who will get to enjoy it. And at this point, I'm not sure I wouldn't enjoy a nap even more.
Because I'm pretty much is school mode all the time around here, I measure things by midterms, finals, and semesters. Gina asked if I wanted to to go Coachella today and my immediate thought was not "oh, that's something I've always wanted to do" but "I hope that falls in between semesters, not before finals". I know that I have less than three weeks left until I'm done with the semester and that a week from now I'll be crazed with school work, but I'm going back to Detroit for 72 hours this week so it will all kinda be put on pause. I just hope I can pause it enough to really enjoy the time home with my family.
