I am SO. SO. EXCITED. It's finally time to head back home. Home is where the heart is. And my heart cannot wait to get back to VA. Normally, I'm excited for the feast of food associated with Thanksgiving. This year, Thanksgiving takes on a new meaning-- a specialness of being surrounded by family. They're the ones who root for you day in and day out, they're the ones who pick you up and encourage you to do your best, they're the ones that mean the most.
This past weekend, I've been working like a little busy bumblebee. I want to get AS MUCH done as possible. The to-do list of things that must be completed prior to airport departure: A completed, whole updated outline, start of another outline, handing in my final Writing memo, quasi- read ahead for next week's Monday classes, and brainstormed for a Torts complaint and response project.
I don't mind working hard hard hard ... if that means that in just a few short days I can be at home surrounded by my family without a care in the world (at least for four days). Then, sadly, I must leave paradise and head back to Vermont. And continue my sprints of homework sessions occupying all of my life. But that's how it has to be, and hey... it makes you stronger, right?
Back to the excitement:
Grandparents are coming to VA for Thanksgiving! I was just informed last week, so it's gonna be a packed house of all the best-est people! Cannot wait to see Mom and Dad. CANNOT WAIT until I get to give a big hug to my brother!!!! It's been almost four months since I saw him last-- seriously the LONGEST we've ever been apart. I have missed him so so much. And the dog--- it will be fabulous to just snuggle up with Lizzie and soak in her "doggy smell." Sounds silly, yes. But, hello-- it's been four months.
I am so so excited to travel, more excited to flee to VA, more excited to see my family and eat good food, and unrealistically excited to go to the UVA football game on Saturday! It'll be my first football game of the Fall 2011 season and it'll be a clincher.
