God bless the Internet. I've made my way through half of the newest season of Law & Order: SVU via a site that has every episode ever aired on television available for free online viewing. You can imagine how I spent my first three days of Christmas break.
During the first week of Christmas break, I've had the opportunity to do the following:
- reunite with my best friend after five months of non-negotiable isolation
- catch a stomach flu bug from my family's Christmas Eve party, which spared no victims
- watch The Prince of Egypt twice
- retrieve every one of my Enya cds, which pleased me more than anything should
- take enough Photobooth pictures to remind me of how much I love my sister, cousin, and best friend
- stock up on Axe products that were given to me as Christmas gifts
Despite being sick on Christmas, I enjoyed being back home more than I anticipated. It was the first time I'd been back to my home town since August, which seems like an eternity. In reality, though, the moment I got back, it was like I never even left. My best friend and I have this unique relationship which allows us to go for long periods of time without communication and still pick up where we left off. I meant to visit a bunch of other people I hadn't seen since August as well, but that never happened, unless it was one of my high school classmates working at Wal-Mart on the day after Christmas when I went through the checkout line. I wanted to see a few of my high school teachers as well as everyone at my church, but again... that never happened. I feel kind of bad for that, because I feel like I have an obligation to visit and catch up with everyone back home whenever I get the chance, which is infrequent.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed Hooker and all it has to offer me: family, friends, and tumbleweeds. Now, I'm in Kansas City staying with my cousin Keith until school starts up again. The snow here makes me want to go to Colorado and ski.
