Dear friends, I am back. This is a sad day only because I truly morn the loss of my break. I'm happy to be back because I was starting to getting a little bored, being left to my own devices and all, but I was by no means, ready to start attending classes again. I'm 21, but that doesn't make me mature. 

I did a crapton over break. First, I probably watched closed to 45 movies. You are impressed, I know. I watched the classic "It's a Wonderful Life," James McAvoy's latest, "Wanted," the Oscar winning "Saving Private Ryan," and the new blockbuster, "Marley and Me." That's just to name a few. And to think, I used to love to read. Haha. No, I still do, but there is something so relaxing about film, the story is told to you and you don't have to work for it as much. Unless you're watching, say, Fight Club. Screwy but oh so good.

With the help of my lovely and loving Grandmother, I had a yard sale to raise money for my mission trip to Calcutta. I know what you're thinking. How does one have a yard sale in January, right? My grandmother lives in Florida, where I was born and raised. I was born with an distinct and exaggerated hatred of snow. I made a good bit, so that is exciting. 

I also rediscovered songs I adored when they first came out, but forgot over the years. Case in point- Wait for You by Elliott Yamin and Walking Away by Craig David. I recommend you download these songs right away. They get into your bones.
