Today is my first official day of winter break! Ok…maybe yesterday was my first OFFICIAL day, but I worked all day…so today is really it!
We sure celebrated on Thursday after our last day of classes. Here we are at Bistro 33.
We had a pretty good, but uneventful, last two classes (April and I gave a great puberty-related presentation, and David was a champion wrapping up Piaget in an exact hour)…and then headed out to Bistro 33. We had some mojito pitchers and sweet potato fries, and had an exciting White Elephant gift exchange. It went so fast and we were all so polite about (not) stealing gifts that we invented a new, Forced-Trade Gift Game after we were done, to up the competition and laughter. It was a great time, and we moved inside (thank you, my Southern California, flip-flopped in 39 degrees toes said) for shots…yes, shots… It was tough to get up for work yesterday, but it was completely worth it.
I made it through yesterday without a zombie-day, which I’ve had 2 or 3 times since starting school, and even just 1 caffeine. Sally and I worked for a solid few hours on our chapter, which was great. After work, I lounged around, watched a movie and lots of TV–totally lazy.
I slept in very, very late today. So did Nik and JoJo. None of us had any idea it had already hit the PM. Nik and I did some Christmas shopping, went out to lunch, and grocery shopping. It’s so nice not to have to read all weekend, not having enough time to lift my head for a drink of water. I do have some work on my chapter to do this weekend, or Monday, but I enjoy it and am super-excited about it, so it doesn’t count.
Anyway, yay to winter break! I’m relaxed already.
