Winter Break


This break I didn’t really do anything special. Other than the fact that it was Christmas, it was pretty boring. What I liked best about this break is that I got to sleep in everyday except for Sundays. The only problem was that I got used to staying up rather late and it became a pattern that was hard to break once school started again. This always happens over summer vacation too. I get used to staying up really late. I start going to sleep at around 4 in the morning every night and waking up at 2 in the afternoon. But since summer vacations a lot longer, it’s even harder to get back in the swing of things.
Christmas was the most fun thing that happened over break. All my sisters and their husbands came over. They brought their kids and presents for my family. Usually we go to my dad’s sister’s house (which me and my sisters dread every year). They’re a little weird and they aren’t very friendly so we always try to tell my mom that one of has a stomach ache or that we have a head ache. She usually tries to give us some Advil she carries around with her after so our excuses don’t work. This year we decided to just have Christmas with my immediate family at our house. It was quite a nice change.
The most exciting thing that happened was that my sister, who is 9 months pregnant, thought she was having her baby on the last day of break. It was a false alarm and she still hasn’t had it, which isn’t surprising because her due date is exactly ten days away (she insists it’s going to be early). Someone must have told the baby how cold it is out here. The only thing I’m worried about is if the baby is born on my birthday. I don’t particularly want to share a birthday and I really don’t want people to forget about mine either. Other than that, my break was pretty mellow. All I did was hang out with my friend Bridget a lot. And even then, all we did was eat and play a Harry Potter video game. I’m a little disappointed breaks over, only because I have to wake up so early again now. But I’m still glad to be back at school so I have human contact with people other than Bridget.
