I don’t have one particular moment that was significant that happened over Christmas Break. But I still had a good time. When finals came around for the end of Fall, I was ready to go home and relax.
Since all my friends were home from college, I definitely took advantage of it and saw them all while they were home. My days consisted of going Christmas shopping, standing in long lines, fighting for parking, and going to the mall several times a day.
My nights consisted of reminiscing with friends over coffee, laying on the couch watching re-runs of the Vampire Diaries.. and watching movies.
I spent several days in San Diego hanging out with friends and of course, going shopping. But, after a while, I wanted to go back home and just do NOTHING!
Christmas was full of the three F’s : Family, fun, and food! Three of my favorite things. But once it was over, I was a little relieved. As much as I love Christmas, I hate hectic situations and I was ready for the holidays to be gone.
I was really excited for new years. I had no idea what I was going to do, but I was going to do something. So, spur of the moment we decided to go to Las Vegas. When we arrived, it was dark already. So, we had some fun and waited. The strip was completely shut off so it allowed people to be walking through the streets without having to worry about traffic.
Las Vegas was packed. As a child and throughout my whole life, Las Vegas was always my second home. But I had never been there during New Years. So when 12 midnight hit, the people gathered around, and the sky was lit up with fireworks from every direction. It was quite entertaining. Next came the journey to the car. After what seemed like 12 hours to reach it, we finally made it. And I was beat!
Since we were located on the roof, and there were six floors ahead of us, it took over an hour to get out of the parking structure. But I didn’t care, I just wanted to sleep.
It was freezing, the drive home consisted of me trying to sleep and trying to defeat the 27 degree weather on the way home. It was not a happy time. Luckily I ended up falling asleep and by the time I woke up, I was already home. A 5 hour drive does not do anyone any good.
My next several days consisted of getting ready to go back to school, saying bye to my friends, and leaving my family. I love home.

You're break sounded like soo much fun!!!!!!! I have always wanted to go to Las Vegas for New Year's...and I'm green with envy that you made multiple trips to the mall per day. Still, as much as you love home, I sure do love having you on campus with me =].
ReplyDeleteYou're break sounds like it was a lot of fun! Especially the spur of the moment trip to Vegas. My friends and I always talk baout doing that, but never really follow trhough on it.
ReplyDeleteI went to Las Vegas over my break too for my 21st birthday! It was so much fun! Your break sounded really fun, and I defiantly had a lot of trips to the mall too! Christmas isn't Christmas with long lines at the mall!
