Winter Break

When I was in college, I never really had the chance to "enjoy" breaks from school.  I worked at a law firm in Delaware during each summer and winter break, starting pretty much the day I got home after exams up until the day right before I had to go back to Providence for classes (or mock trial tournament preparation or sorority planning retreats or whatever).  When I worked at the Consulting Firm That Shall Not Be Named, I never really took vacation.  Even if I did travel somewhere for "vacation," I inevitably worked at least an hour or two each day doing the parts of my job that nobody else either wanted to do or fully understood how to do.  This is honestly the first time in my entire life that I have had nothing that I truly needed or was obligated to do for a period longer than a weekend. 

Let's just say that I'm truly loving it, more than I ever thought I would or could.
