At the beginning of last semester I posted a blog about how some people think that grad school is like living safely in a bubble secure from real life. While during the actual semester, that's totally not the case, I'm pretty sure that I can say winter break has been very much like living in some bubble. Sporadically working, sleeping until 10 or 11, traveling hundreds of miles, hanging out with friends and family, and having the man around to distract me was very surreal. I knew it would all end eventually and I'd have to wake up and drag my butt off to work at the crack of dawn with the rest of the world, but I can't help but think how nice just one more day would have been. All morning long I've had Diamond Rio's One More Day With You stuck in my head. I'd have to agree with the song, one more day really would just leave me wishing for one more. I've been spoiled rotten and can't help but feel blessed. If the first few days are any indication of how this year is going to go, 2008 should be fantastic! I'm really going to enjoy working on my resolution this year!

Real life is WAY overrated.

You know, I thought it before and I'm still thinking it. You are sooo totally right, real life stinks! Darned work (and for some school too), if only it wouldn't get in the way just think of all the great adventures we could have! Until that becomes a true possiblity at least we can stick together and dream :-)
