Yes the day has arrived where I will pack up a weeks worth of clothes and Christmas gifties, throw my arm in the air for a cab, stand in line at Amtrak and fight for a forward facing seat and an electricity outlet for my 14 (if on time) hour journey back to the homeland. Woo hoo, I'm really excited. I'm starting to love the City a lot but there is nothing like home and nothing like the country. I never really had an issue with NoDak except that its uber boring at times. But its true that you don't appreciate home until you cant go home for a few months. And there is something to be said for the peace and quiet and tranquil beauty of the country.
I get to go home, eat decent homecooked meals, chat with my mom, cuddle with Gizmo and chase after my little cousins that try to get under the Christmas tree. I get to drive a car and not ride a bus and not worry about bad smells from stinky people (though I'm sure the sugar beets and french fries will make up for it...ahh home). I get to reasonably go on a christmas cookie binge before I really really get down to business and lose 70 lbs in 2006. And really enjoy my break from school and get refreshed for the next semester of work.
If I don't update between now and when I get back to Chicago, I do hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hannakuh..whatever you celebrate. Hope Santa brings you good stuff and you have a good time with family and friends. See you all on the flipside.
Ta ta!
