Today is very Monday. I believe Monday's are the worst day for me when it comes to being homesick. Granted, it's only 25 days until I come home now, but it seems like that makes it worse, not better.
There is also the fact the my Thanksgiving went by so fast that I felt like it didn't even happen, and now I'm worried I'm going to feel that same way when I go home. As though I may as well just step off the plane and onto another one just to save me the trouble.
Nah, Christmas will be better because I won't have to work. I think that was probably the reason that it didn't feel like a holiday or vacation at all. The only day I didn't work was Thanksgiving Day, and I was busy all day regardless. I had to cook, get dressed, do my hair, drive 3 hours to San Diego (yeah, damn traffic made the trip double in time), be all friendly and shit with my guard's family for like 4 hours, and then drive back home. The day didn't involve any resting whatsoever, and then it was back the next day and the whole weekend working at Best Buy. Though I did get some good deals on Christmas presents, and also found out that my discount is now in effect - therefore my family has started using and abusing this aspect. I've had to buy 3 different presents for my siblings (granted, the discount was pretty spectacular), and today I've got to go look at cameras for my aunt. Plus I've bought a whole ton of stuff I really don't need just because I get such a good deal. So basically, this job is turning out to be a great burden.
Well now that my rationalizing out loud, so to speak, is done, I'm outta here.
