Oh Thanksgiving,

You are so close yet so far far away. What a surprise when I discovered that by Tuesday of next week, I get to head home for the first time since August? It surely feels good knowing that the day you have anticipated is awaiting you so closely. My planner tells me otherwise - while the only remaining exams are final which are scheduled "after" Thanksgiving, my instinct constantly tells me that I need to prepare ahead. Why? Because we all know that I will not be doing ANYTHING during Thanksgiving break no matter how much work is ahead of me. That is just the nature of me, I suppose. In other words, for the next a week and two days, I have to miraculously prioritize my upcoming written report deadline, time-consuming homework, and two murderous economics final (since management is considerably easier) before I return to my home-sweet-home. One counting 65% and other one as 50% of my entire grade do not sound attractive. Hence, I am terrified because I don't know what and how to study for them. Yeah, sounds fun for sure. Perhaps, I could've used this past weekend more effectively but that obviously did not happen. Looks like I will gladly get my punishment.

So yes Thanksgiving, you are so close and yet so far away. Is it me that create this miserable effect or is this just an ordinary life? Supposedly, 4 years as a college student still hasn't given me a definite answer. I really want to go home...and not do all the work. Life would be perfect that way.

PS- I think Z is going through the same thing. If not, even more.
