It’s time to pack up again, we’re headed to California!

Just for a few days. Why not spend the first day of the New Year watching great football (I love football) in 70 degree sunshine?! Yes, sounds like a plan to me.

I’m not too excited about 24+ hours in the car (round trip), but it is nice to have some traveling company. Usually it’s just me, flying back and forth to get home all the time. I have no idea what will entertain me for that amount of time, but I know what I should be doing. My Major Case Study is in the works, and technically should be done within the next few weeks. Ehhhh. It’s ridiculously hard to motivate myself to do any kind of work while I’m home. When I’m here the weeks “off” are packed with busy days: holiday feasts, shopping, appointments, lunch dates, cleaning, etc.

Over my Thanksgiving break last year, I had a huge project to work on. It decided about 40% of my grade in that class, and was due the Thursday after classes resumed. Obviously I had to work on it, no real option there. We spent about 2 out of the 5 days I was home driving, and guess where I got the most done? In the car. I knew I couldn’t put it off anymore and just started typing. A few hours later my project was almost done and we were that much closer to home.

Soo…here’s to hoping that happens again!

After this short trip I’ll have two days to unwind before I’m back on a plane and back to life as an intern. And, hopefully after this trip, I’ll have a little bit less to worry about on the homework front.
