The beginning of a new semester means the ending of another break. Breaks are nice not only because there aren't any classes, but they also provide some much needed rest and relaxation. Over break, I was able to enjoy some of the events and activities offered in the area (and some a little out of the area). Since my family is from here, I did not have a "trip" home. Instead, I spent my first weekend off in Oklahoma City. While there, I went to my first NBA game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers. If any of you have any desire to watch take in a NBA event, the Thunder actually provided good entertainment. The rest of the Christmas season passed quickly with a trip to the Isle of Lights in Winfield, KS and lots of cookies (which I am currently paying for with trips to the gym...). The big finale of break came with the removal of my wisdom teeth. That was quite the experience mainly because I found that every food commercial on TV was a sort of torture. (I was very hungry!) Otherwise, the break gave me a chance to catch up on my sleep and all of the backed up TiVo recordings!

Even though breaks are nice, it is kind of nice to come back to classes. Mainly because I am close to the end, and I can see the light. That's another story. But my overall routine was thrown off. Oddly enough, school provides some stability to my schedule. I'm sure I will be singing another tune in about a month or two, but I can enjoy being back for now! So I hope everyone enjoyed their break as much as I did, and I hope you enjoy being back... At least the first week or so!
