Home Again

This whole semester I have been counting down to Thanksgiving. Countless hours of reading, studying, taking tests...if I can just make it to Thanksgiving. The week or two before Thanksgiving, I was completely distracted and mostly unproductive. I was going home! A week has come and gone since I drove out of sleepy Oxford to the airport and landed in Houston. Tonight, I've returned back to my other home. It feels like I've been gone a month. My world in Texas and my world here are so different. Here is consumed by school, with little time for anything in between. I desperately needed to go somewhere that would remind me that my life is not just graduate school and work. I'm back refreshed and ready to tackle finals. I have a giant heap of work waiting for me, but this time the end of the semester is just in sight.
