Thanksgiving break is nearing its end. Tomorrow morning I will finish packing the car and head back up to campus. I hope to get back to Bates sometime in the early afternoon. The vacation was really nice.\u00a0I still find it so great that no matter how long I am away from family and friends, when I come home it is as if nothing has changed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<div class=\"snap_preview\">\n<p>I was certainly grateful that I had a whole week off to rest, relax, and prepare for final exams and papers. Although I kept telling myself I would get work done over break I accomplished very little. Finding the motivation to work while eating turkey and hanging out with family + friends is not easy. I\u2019d like to blame my lack of progress on work on the\u00a0tryptophan\u00a0from the turkey but I don\u2019t suppose that\u2019s fair. In any event, tomorrow I will be back in my dorm room and will hopefully find the inspiration to focus on the busy 2 weeks ahead.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In other random news, my dad and I put the ski rack and snow tires on the car I am bringing up to school. It should now be fully winterized and prepared for a winter full of skiing. That\u2019s all for now. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
