I'm in denial about returning to work and school tomorrow and being surrounded by people convinced that they will get a job out of their next internship at Prestigious Institution X, followed by a career bringing babies out of the third world and bringing world peace, myself included.
I would far rather read trashy fiction on my Kindle and lock myself in the craft corner of my room, creating useless trinkets that evoke an exclamation of the "aw, cute" variety, followed by the stashing of said trinkets in some dark corner.
On a brighter note (but possibly not), I am pretty sure that I will be going to Shanghai in the fall for my school's exchange program. I feel myself going soft and becoming too comfortable in my awkward-DC-setting, which means it's time to get out of the country and stir things up for a bit. It seems like each trip out of the country finds me with progressively more people, things, and attachments to leave behind; this time will be no exception. I have some strange notion in my head that my ability to put distance between my attachments will only make me stronger. Where this newfangled idea came from, I have absolutely no clue...nor does it make any sense. But there you have it; a good majority of these notions I get never seem to have a logical basis anyways.

Everyday should be winter break
A good amount of people are starting school or work back up again tomorrow (I guess I'll go get some hours in too) which makes me wish that I could extend winter break infinitely. Some highlights:
- Seeing old high school friends, some of whom are 1. engaged, 2. I have not seen since high school, or 3. both. I'm usually not a huge fan of drinking and the games that come along with it, but this was definitely an exception.
- A Very Kindle Xmas. Courtesy of my awesome poop.
- A Very Pampered Birthday. My turning 21 (for the second time) consisted of: Thai for lunch, a mani/pedi, an hour massage, an hour facial, a cup of coffee, Hibachi for dinner, and fondue for dessert. Once again, courtesy of my awesome poop.
- Cookie Swap. I can't stop eating all these delicious creations. Time to hit the gym hardcore tomorrow morning.
