I dig.

It's amazing what a four days of no commitments other than your own family, your own food, your own shopping, and your own homework looks like.  Not that I hate the world outside myself or anything, but man oh man have I been digging this Thanksgiving break like no other.  For the first time this semester, I spent it selfishly away as a real vacation.  What a concept!

I actually watched two episodes of my favorite TV show, Psych.  I went shopping and spent that birthday money that's been waiting for five months to be spent.  I actually took a day to do homework..and by the grace of God I was able to actually focus.  I actually ate all three meals sitting down.  I didn't go out to socialize, I simply enjoyed quiet days with those close to me in the daylight hours.  I actually turned off my phone for a day.  I woke up early and prayed in the morning daylight while waiting for a wonderful day to continue.  I got to just talk in the daylight hours.  I watched a bit of a movie or two.  I'm going to go back in a few minutes to finish my homework, and watch a movie into the early morning...because I can and will sleep in.  I really dig this Thanksgiving break.

World, I don't hate you.  I actually love you.  I just really liked my vacation.  God gave me an awesome past few days to recharge, work hard on my 17+ page paper (it's easier to stop counting at 17) and final presentation, and prepare for the 4 or 5 other papers that I will be preparing in the next 2 weeks.

P.S. You may notice that I used the word "daylight"  multiple times and that I sound redundant.  Disclaimer: I don't care.  Daylight is a big deal.  I like the sun.
