Hey everyone I know it’s been a while but I finally got back from the longest break I’ve ever had that wasn’t a summer break, six weeks. I did a bunch of fun stuff since the break began. We got off from school the 12th and that was my last final exam for the first semester. That’s when I got to go back to sleep in my own bed and relax and hang with the family and friends for the break. I got home and was finally reunited with my love of my life and the only thing I miss at school… my car. ☺ It was the greatest feeling I’ve had in a long time. But it wasn’t long before we got to Christmas and I got some parts I wanted for my car. The family came over and I got to see the family members I don’t usually get to see during the year. We had a nice dinner and I couldn’t have asked for more delicious food. That was great not to say the school food is bad because it’s actually really quite delicious but there’s nothing like a home cooked meal.

The day after Christmas my family got to go to Miami for a week because my dad had gotten some free airfare. The weather was nothing short of B-E-A-U-TIFUL!!! 75 to 80 the entire week, we just missed the cold front that had come just before we got there. While that was nice it was short lived and the snow that was on the ground when we got back and guess who had to shovel it… yep me. But I drove a lot and hung out with friends fixed up some of my friend’s cars and just had a good time like back in high school. But now I’m finally back to the U.

It was very restful but I’m glad to be back. I get back and there’s nothing like Scranton snow as soon as we get back. I actually came back on Saturday and that night as I finished moving in the power just went out and I found out that about half of Scranton went out at the same time but it was a fun night regardless. I missed a lot of my friends from school and I’m glad I got to see most of them already. Its really nice to have friends at home and friends at school because now I know I’ll have a good time no matter where I go. I’m also glad I found a good group of friends who all really want to help each other do better this semester. I just got a taste of my new classes and I’ll let you know how they go. I’m super pumped to do well this semester and hopefully ski trip? I don’t know we’ll find out soon.
