Break's over, back to life
And I'm back in California. *pets her stuff* In the past few days, I...
...watched several full or partial movies (full: BSG miniseries, V for Vendetta; partial: March of the Penguins, Boa vs. Python, White Christmas).
...saw the wide range of television available beyond my usual narrow rotation.
...ate tons of very tasty food, including lots of dessert.
...actually accomplished some homework.
...had lots of sister and parent bonding time that abounded with silliness and mockery.
It was a good trip! None of us wanted to leave, but winter holidays will come around soon enough. I didn't expect to get much besides the above done, so I don't feel behind. If all goes well, I have less than two weeks left as a student, and that is a very happy thought, indeed.
ETA: I forgot to mention the crazy new technology at the Houston airport. Rather than just your standard metal detector to walk through, they had this new contraption you had to go through first. It was like an expanded detector, except it shuts you inside (!), blasts air at you, waits to do whatever it's doing, and then opens the doors to let you out. It's quite mysterious and also freaky.
