Home Again, Home Again

Well, I made it. I survived my first quarter at the University of Chicago, (and the first season of 24. Though I've since started the second, haha). Friday, I turned in my last two final papers that I had been slaving over for more than the last week exclusively. I then met with my preceptor (program adviser) to discuss my thesis before catching up with some friends from my program (International Relations) over lunch and collecting some more thesis sources from the University library. From there, it was my last, two-hour commute of the year back to Winfield (Yay!!) to pack up so I could leave bright and early the next morning to be back in Nebraska by early, Saturday afternoon! I'm home! It was so good to see Courtney again and to visit my Lincoln friends. It was really encouraging to be at Grace again on Sunday morning, as well.

I'll be heading Home, to Norfolk, tomorrow most likely. Though I need to try to get some Christmas gifts and a haircut before I go. It will be good to be home-home as well. Kalen (my youngest sister) really wants me to help her review her AP Lit/Comp research paper (these papers were pivotal and formative for me in high school) before Friday and it will be nice of course to live under the comforting roof of my parent's home once again. Though I'm sure to be back in Lincoln by the end of the week. I think this break will be a lot of going back and forth, living out my car, and shamelessly requesting residence from Lincoln friends on short notice. Thank God for friends. Until next time, cheers!
