With the sound of sleigh bells entering my head...

(couldn't find the source for this picture, but I like it lots)

December first. A day that marks the beginning of the end. Twenty four days  until Christmas. Less than that until I go home. And even less than that until finals begin, and then consequentially end.

I want to smell that fresh pine scent of the Christmas tree.

I want to sit by the side of a fireplace, listening to Christmas music and drinking some sort of Holiday-themed coffee beverage. (We all know I'm talking about peppermint mocha.)

I would like to sit around and look into Architecture internships for the summer.

I want to go Downtown Seattle and look at all of the decorations and go shopping.

I would like to drive around with my two best friends (from home, that is) and look at Christmas lights.

To sum it up, I'm ready to go home. Having spent Thanksgiving away from my family I feel disconnected  (although I had an awesomely fun time at a friends place, and got amazing deals at outlets on Black Friday) and can't wait to be home again!

I'll be back soon with a less depressing post.
