home for christmas
So for the 4th and last time as an undergraduate i'm home for christmas break. This will be the shortest break of all since they tend to make it shorter each year. I am home for, I think, one day short of a month. Its nice to be away from the homework and classes, and a change of scenery is always nice, but for some reason i'm not as happy as I thought i would be.
It seems as though the same problem I had at school has followed me home. This inability I have to get my applications together. Why was it so easy to do in highschool and so hard for me to do now. Basically this is my only problem right now, and yet its the one thing that determines what I am going to be doing with the rest of my life and I just can't seem to do it.
So i attempted some christmas shopping today, I went to the Danbury mall over in CT. I had a rather strange thought, and I'm sure this happens to most people, but the older I get the more out of date I feel. I am 21 years old and I feel like an old lady when I walk around the mall and see the clothes the high school types are wearing. If I had worn the clothes some of these people wear when I was the same age as them, i would have been sent home and told to change my clothes or don't come back. To give you an example, when I was in 6th grade (in 1995!!!) if your shorts were more than a dollar's width above your knees you weren't allowed to walk in the front door. That is about 3 inches above your knee...can you imagine anyone of these girls wearing shorts like that. Yeah I know, styles change (thank god). I just think its kinda funny the things we let kids get away with. I can't imagine needing a cell phone when I was 10, and yet, most of them have one. Ok i'll stop being an old lady now...
I'm thinking I will be in a much better mood after this week is over, Kelsey and uncle Bill will both be visiting soon which will be very nice. Anyway, I think I'll go work on making myself look as good as humanly possible in 500 words or less.
