You’re nice to help your college friend during Thanksgiving. I’ve had to spend only one Thanksgiving away from my family, and I would hate not being able to see family at the holidays. I’m sorry that you won’t get more time off at Christmas. I hope you get at least some kind of break from the normal routine at some point during the year.
Yeah, it’s sort of a tradition for me to invite anyone and everyone who’s stuck on campus during thanksgiving to my place cause we live really close, and I think my siblings are mildly entertained to see what kind of interesting person or persons I might bring home... I’m not normal, and neither are my friends =)
I don’t mind being busy around Christmas, though, as that was sort of a pre-requisite of my job. But, after the holidays, things are going to get really quiet and I won’t have classes for a bit, so I’m trying to make some plans to do something fun and away from here.
