End of the Semester

I hate the last week of the winter semester. First, it is such a tease to have us get almost a week off for Thanksgiving and then make us come back to what is inevitably the worst two weeks of the semester. Second, with the holidays occurring at the same time, it makes it so difficult to get into the season with deadlines and meetings hanging over our heads instead of dreams of sugar plums. Luckily this semester my schedule hasn't been as hectic as it normally is, but I am still very eager for it to be completed, and yet I am not. My pre-thesis is due this week, and honestly I have so much more that will be included in my thesis but is not ready as of yet. I can't wait for a break to do some extra research. My biggest fear though is that I will get done and not want to do anything school related for the entire break, which wouldn't be the end of the world, but it wouldn't be the greatest either.
I am looking forward to going home for the holidays though to see family and friends. I wish all our family members were going to be there, but we understand. I hope it snows back home at least because it has been years now since I have seen the white fluffy stuff and I am going through withdrawals.
