Since I've been on break, I've had major writer's block. I think after finals week and studying for 10+ hours a day, my brain decided to take a break. I guess it deserved a slight rest, but it just reminds me of how different it is being home rather than at school. I forgot what to do with myself when I don't have four classes a day and two meetings and trying to fit meals somewhere in between. Although I would never admit it when I'm in Athens, I sort of miss the structure of every day.
One thing I have enjoyed while I've been home is reading for pleasure instead of for classes. I've already finished two novels and I'm working on my third. I've also been catching up on my TV shows and Christmas specials on ABC.
I know eventually these two lives will converge when I graduate, but for now I'll enjoy the change and free time.

The end of the quarter
As the quarter is winding down, I feel the need to reflect on my year so far.
As far as my career path goes, I've learned so much already working with ImPRessions. I actually learned what a PR plan is and what it looks like. I've learned how to work under pressures, such as time crunches, and I have even learned a few new tricks on my Mac from fellow account members. Working with all upperclassmen has also given me great insight to where I should be going in the next two years.
I've also learned to deal with stress and to multi-task, although experts say there is no such thing. I've learned more about time management and how to prioritize. I've learned how to live with three roommates without any major crises. I also bought my first suit this quarter.
Eight quarters left in my college career and I cannot decide if that's too much or too little time. For now, I'll try to learn as much as possible and take it one day at a time.

We made history
We have officially made history: the first black president in America! It is simply amazing to be living through such a passionate election and one in which the college demographic has played such a large role. Minutes after the projection for Obama as the next president, a crowd swarmed East Green. Here is a picture I took of the "block party".
