Home for Break

So I am officially home for break, or at least thats what they like to call it. You see, the semester isn't over until late Jan which means 2 exams & 2 papers over break :)

I always get a little more homesick when I'm here. At school I have people to keep me distracted and busy, but at home I don't know anyone. The only neighbor I see is always with her dog that is the same height as me and even the horses look at me crazy when I stare them down. I don't have a car here, yet even if I did I wouldn't drive anywhere because a) reguardless of what the british say, the left side is the WRONG side and b) you drive worse than nor. VA-ans. not worse, but crazier I should say. When someone drives slow in the fast(right) lane, you will literally get lights flashed at you from the car behind i.e get out the way. It's pretty much rule here. I think i'll take that back home w. me because people in Virginia don't seem to understand the purpose of the left lane. Not that I have any business there either..

But it's December :) This is the 1st time I didn't/wont celebrate w. my east coasters and what a sad state I'm in. Luckily I'll be distracted by Malta! (yeah I didn't know where it was either) but it'll be warm..er and because I've never seen my skin so light this is good.

"I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight"
-Most overplayed christmas song ever, yet still amazing.
