Fall Break

This past weekend was absolutely great! As you all know, it was fall break, and it was also the first time I've been home since I got here. Let me tell you, it felt so good to be home! I didn't realize until I got home how much I missed it. I loved being able to see my family and my friends. And to be honest, I think they liked being able to see me too! My dad picked me up on Friday afternoon and I came back Tuesday night. On Friday, after being with my parents for a little and eating an awesome dinner (it's nice to get away from the dining halls!), I met up with some of my friends who were also home for the weekend. I missed them sooo much! It was great to be able to actually sit down with them and hang out again rather than just talking on the phone. While I was home, my mom and I also went shopping. I have to say, it's hard living five minutes from Woodfield, and then coming here where the closest mall is Tippecanoe and about an eighth the size of what I'm used to. What can I say, I'm a girl :) I also went back to the salon I work at to visit and get my hair done. It was really good to see everyone! I hung out there for a while and then got lunch (sushi!) with friends. All in all I have to say it was a very relaxing weekend, which I think is what I really needed. I got to just lay around at home a lot, be with friends and family, watch TV, and read. I loved it! But, I am glad to be back! (minus all the work I have to come back to)
