Yesterday was not a good day. I could have burst out in tears many times during the day. There was an argument with a friend. Stress about Thanksgiving. A paper that needed to be written. Presentation to today to finish....and on top of that, my mom called.
I think it's a mom thing, they must have some sort of sense when their children are distressed about something. Right when I thought I had myself under control my phone rings and says "Mom" calling. I almost lost it. God knows when we just need to hear that we're being thought about.
I love my mom. What an amazing woman she is.

I think I've reached my lowest point for this semester.
Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow. I think it has brought more stress to my life than excitement. I still don't really know what's going on. Usually it's a time of rest, but this year it represents a few more days to get a little more reading and researching done before returning for the last couple weeks.

As for Christmas...I am excited! I want to see mountains and the faces of the ones I love. It sounds a little pathetic, but I'm so homesick I could cry. Finally a break.
I'm excited despite the fact that I have no idea how the heck I'm going to get to Chicago in time to catch my flight at 6 on Thursday. That is something I should get working on, but to be honest, I cannot physically handle thinking about that right now. It's just one of the many things lingering in the back of my mind.
One thing at a time.
Just a few more weeks.
