Visiting My Family

I have to say my internal timing mechanism has been thrown off with this small vacation I have had. Yesterday I thought it was Saturday. Thursday I couldn't remember what day it was. Today I feel like I should be getting back home and preparing for another week.

Fortunately, I'm still quite relaxed (as relaxed as you can be with a 2-week-old baby in the home). Spending time with Lindsey and Drew and getting to meet my new born nephew, Brayden, has been great. Although I don't feel like expounding all I'm thinking on here, there are quite a few things having time off has caused to reel in my head.

As much as I don't miss the homework, having the time off during Christmas or Spring break was a nice component of school. I find it harder to make time for myself to relax in the manner I could during those times. And much of the time I don't have the ability to make that kind of time for myself. I guess vacation time, once I can use it, will come in handy. I can see myself using time to just to have off if I have an excess of time.

Anyway, I am enjoying my nephew. Not that he can do much, but I am glad I was able to see him in his early stage. He is growing quickly and the next time I see him I'm sure he will be able to hold his head up, smile, maybe giggle. All the stages of life I will miss because of being far away will be hard, but it makes these times I get to see him that much more sweet.
