Packing....:(

I hate leaving home...especially after 4 weeks. Every winter break I've had through college and now Grad school have been this long and the end is always awful. It hits me really hard every time...and I hate it. I love being home, seeing my pets, being with my parents and family that is here, being in the potomac area and all of the familiar places...and most of all...not having any really draining work or stress from school, work and reporting stuff. But...that's all about to end and I'm scared out of my mind. I already know I've put at least a LOT on my plate and I won't be surprised if it ends up being too much. 

But as my resolution goes...I want to become a better person, worry less and do whats best for me. I just need to figure out what that will all entail. For now...I'm interning 16 hours a week, babysitting a consistent 13 hours a week (plus occasional nights? probably not though) and will be in class for....6+3.45===> so about 10 hours. Just found out that I'm supposed to be putting aside 14 hours for reporting and interviewing...(this is a long shot and they are just trying to scare me...but nonetheless, their plan always works) So...that said...16+13+10+14=53? Interesting...we shall see. 

As a reminder to myself---SCHOOL = #1

Internship is also #1  considering I'm getting credit

Babysitting CANNOT be my priority....even though it is the only thing that generates $$$$. I will be fine!

Not to vent on this blog because that's annoying for everyone...but I just wanted to lay out what I'll be doing this semester. Since overall...thats the whole point of this. I also want to just highlight how much I love home. I love everything about it here....I miss it...but  I also miss my new "home" in Boston and can't wait to get back to my friends up there, my school, and of course...my sweet little babies that I get to play with for money. (sick). 

Thank you to everyone at home who has made my winter break so much fun....I have LOVED this break. Thank you Mom and Dad for everything as usual and for being so supportive and interested in everything that I do....to Megan and Christian for coming to visit, playing some pool and working so hard at what you both do.....to Kristin for being hilarious and a great companion with the animals for me at home, even if it means listening to Elvis Radio and I trust that you will have a great year in NC and I can't wait to hear about it ....and to Shannon for being strong over this break--we miss you so much without you coming back...I promise to come visit you (and Kristin) and know that you are working so hard and trust that it will all work out and pay off in the end. 

Also to the Bahar borgs for being the greatest family in Poto...You are the best example of a strong family and I love you all so much. I think about you every single day and hope that your year brings new hope and inspiring News. Maddie--my prayers and well wishes go out to you every night and will never stop.

To my high school friends for still being around...and still being hilarious. 

To the Burkes...for being my home away from home. (10 minutes away...but still away)

To Jordan, for playing Britney Spears on the piano with me. 

To my Grandparents and Cousins and aunts and uncles for being around and in my life. I love big families.

Ok...obviously I'm sad about leaving so this is sounding like some weird golden globe acceptance speech but really...I have had such a good break and will really miss being here....AGAIN. And just in case one of you people that i'm thanking read this..I wanted you to know that I'm thankful. ---and Claudy B...thank YOU for reading this post--I know you will....and you'll comment because you have a soul. hahahahaha.
