Anticipation.

I think i'm doing that thing again where I really miss the cold weather, and it freaks me out. Actually let me repharse that! I miss the change in seasons, but still, it freaks me out! I really wasn't anticipating missing it at all, but I do. I missed fall weather a lot.... and now I miss hot chocolate, and it is against my principles to drink it in hot weather so i've been going to star bucks and buying chocolate milk a lot. I guess all these trips to starbucks really got me missing coffee shops and scarves and what not. Nevertheless, the weather here is really great because we have a little bit of cold in the mornings and evenings, which will do for now.

It's just ironic that when a place finally starts to feel like home it's time to leave! these next three weeks are going to fly by. I know it because the last 3 months certainly have. I'm just bracing myself now trying to make the best of the last few weeks... and really really really realllllllly anticipating my return to Boston, and at the same time not knowing how to say goodbye to all of this.

At any rate, work has been going well. Tomorrow I will spend my first EVER thanksgiving away from home! It doesn't really feel like it's thanksgiving at all :) and get this... mission builders are the only ones working in the whole campus! woo. So, we get to make all the food, but then we are having a party altogether thursday night. I also work friday, but short hours (like 6 a.m to 10 or something) then we all get to take a van to the beach for the rest of the afternoon. I've never spent thanksgiving weekend on the BEACH. interesting.
