Vacation.

First of all, a pair of photos I find amusing.
This is my apartment during finals week...

...and this is my apartment approximately four hours after my last final.

This reveals a few things.

1. Finals week was intense.

2. Cleaning is therapeutic (helped me de-stress at the end of the week).

3. I like to photograph oddly ordinary things. 

I am so happy to be on vacation, and even happier that my sleepless nights and full days in school paid off (I received my grades today!). After taking a semester off, I was very determined to do well, but slightly afraid of what that would require of me. 

So what have I been doing with my new free time? 

+ Baking "Peasant Bread"

+ Checking out Native American art at the MIA

+ Walking through snowstorms

+ Packing many Christmas gifts

+ Playing "Dance Central" 

+ Reading 

+ Drinking fine wine 

+ Gearing up to start doing work for my internship

I love it. Trying to treasure every ordinary moment because before I know it, I'll be starting classes again.

I will leave you with this, another lovely tea bag tag from Yogi Tea.
