Home for the Holidays

Well, I did it. I managed to fly half way around the world to spend a week with my family in Florida over Christmas. I still can't believe that I pulled THAT one off!! I always hate being at the airport. I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester in Jerusalem and I'm SO excited for my time in Europe ... but it's always hard to say my goodbyes and wait at the airport. SO excited that I'm seeing Justin in 5 weeks, Ellie in 6 weeks, and mom in 8 ... on another continent!!

I managed to be incredibly productive while in Jacksonville ... I talked with my uncle about graduate school admissions process ... I got my H1N1 vaccine ... left most of the stuff that I'm not going to need abroad anymore (um, like a TON of books) ... got the study Bible that I needed. Bummers would be that my Kindle stopped working and I had to leave before the replacement arrived (though I suppose that means that I will really focus on school work for the last few weeks instead of reading Diana Gabaldon books for the umpteenth time) ... and that airports are a MESS with all the crap on flights to the US in the past week!

My New Year's resolution? be better at updating my blog!!!
