Fall Break!

My fall break was a good chance to visit home and see my family. I stayed in my old room, which is now an office to my mom. In the beginning of the week, I was very sick with a cold, but being home and actually getting a good nights rest helped me to get better. I didn't do much school work over the break, probably because I wasn't interested in anything having to do with school, seeing as I just got back and didn't want to think about having to do school work anytime soon. I ended up calling my old job, a pizza restaurant at a ski resort by my house. They put me on the schedule for four days, and eight hour shifts. Working this break took up most of my free time that I had during the days, which was fine because I would have much rather been working and making money than sleeping in until noon everyday. I had thanksgiving dinner at my aunt's house in Reno, which is about 40 minutes from my house. We had an early dinner and then went out to the movies afterwards. We saw the movie Blindside, which was really good, and was a good family movie to see on thanksgiving. I was planning the entire break to leave Monday morning, but found out a few days before that it was not a furlough day, so I ended up coming back to Monterey late Sunday night after work.

I think that being in school has changed my outlook on life, and has made me realize that I am now on my own and am making my own decisions, which is a good thing, and I am enjoying it! It's weird to think now that I live in Monterey, and I'm basically just visiting my hometown every time I go back for a weekend, or a break. Being able to go to college has changed me, just because I know now that I am doing something with my life, and I am able to have fun along the way!
