Happy Holidays!

I can't believe it's December already! This year sort of flew by, and it was a big one, a lot of shit went down and now, suddenly, it's almost over! One of the things I was bummed about when I found out I would be leaving for Palestine was that I was going to miss the holidays. I'm very American that way, I love the holidays, especially because my birthday, Hanukkah and Christmas are all in the same month. I was a very spoiled little kid (I still am). And even though I hate the cold I kind of love the crisp chill in the air, the Hanukkah candles, the Christmas lights, the hot chocolate and just the general atmosphere. My birthday is in 12 days!!! I know it won't really be that eventful but at this age having a birthday is still fun, gotta savor it.

On another note I'm going to look at an apartment tomorrow, hopefully it works out and I can finally have a place of my own. Winter is starting to arrive, it's getting really cold at night, the wind has been howling for the past two days and I'm sure rain is right around the corner. I think I'm going to have my first class next week, probably on Tuesday, scary! I hope I don't suck. This job is kind of a test run for my future career so if I hate it then I'm not really sure where that leaves me...

Happy Hanukkah!
