This week I am slowly approaching Thanksgiving break. This is going to be the first extended trip home I will have since leaving for college. I am honestly so excited to see home, family, and friends. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, not only because of all of the delicious food, but also because of the day after Thanksgiving. On the day after Thanksgiving, my mom and I decorate for Christmas. This is one of my favorite things to do because it not only is a tradition my mom and I have, but it gets me in the holiday spirit. I know that once Thanksgiving break is done, my month and a half long Christmas break is right around the corner.

This past week has been a stressful one so I am very ready to come home for a short break. I had a midterm crit review for my architecture studio and a building project for my foundations of architecture class both on Thursday. So, this whole pas week was preparation for those two things which led to continuous late nights in studio and lots of stress. I also was becoming sick as well, so a trip home and some extra sleep is needed. I miss my family a lot and I can’t wait to be able to see them. I also really miss my friends, some of which I haven't seen since August which is so hard to think about. Overall, it’s going to be a time of reunion and love, and I am so excited to see all who I have missed.
