December

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

I can't believe it's already December! While Christmas is my Ultimate Favorite Holiday, this just means that i only have 21 more days left in Santa Cruz. I am so torn, because while i am soooo sad to leave Santa Cruz, at the same time i am beyond happy to almost be reunited for good with my 11 year old dog, Belle, who is my heart and soul. And hopefully never to part until her last breath here on earth. I am also so excited to see my family. I love all of them so much. And finally be able to hang out with all my old friends. It is a very bittersweet feeling.

This weekend was Thanksgiving weekend, which was very fun. I wen't up to redwood city, and had dinner at my friend's house. I made vegan pasta, and my friend's sister made a delicious apple pie! It was incredible, Then we all went to go watch The Book Thief movie, which was great! The whole weekend was so much fun, well aside from the fact that i didn't get as much Homework done as i'd hope, but oh well. It was my last thanksgiving in northern California, well at least for a while, so i just wanted to enjoy it. I can wallow in my self-loathing next week as finals approach, but for now, i'm just trying to enjoy every minute of my last days here. haha

This was also the first weekend without having to walk Duke, and i missed him so much. There are just so many people and places up here that are going to be so hard to say goodbye to.

I want to try and write something everyday until the New Year, So we shall see how that goes, especially since finals start in a week! Oh dear, Till next time.
