I'm sure you are all baking and last minute shopping in the last few days before Christmas. This time of year is always pretty overwhelming for some people. For me, the overwhelming part is being back in America. I just got in last night after being on a flight for 7 1/2 hours! I walked into the baggage claim area and saw a baggage attendant holding a large Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee and I'm sure he thought I was crazy or hitting on him because I just kept staring at his coffee. What I would do for a D&D Iced Coffee! Unfortunately the current weather doesn't inspire an iced coffee. I also nearly lost it when I got in the car and we started driving on the right side of the road. That one freaked me out which I didn't expect.
I went to the Cape Cod Mall today to do some last minute shopping and kept thinking the prices were in pounds. I have to say it is an extremely strange feeling being in the States. I hate to say, it but I'm not sure I like it. I feel out of place. I guess it's sort of because Cape Cod is a life that is so far away now...since I left high school really. It is where I grew up and where my family is, but I've started creating a life for myself in other cities... New York and now London. I do of course miss all my friends and family that I don't get to see when I'm in London. This trip is really just to see them and spend time with them. I will be spending New Years in Washington DC with my best friends and stopping off in NYC to see all my friends from that area. It will be fun to reunite at our old hang outs.
One of the best parts about being here is being with my two amazing puppies and my kitty. I plan on doing a photo shoot with them before I leave so I can have some framed pictures of them in my flat. They are the best! Spending the next two weeks with them is what I've been looking forward to for the past three months. I'm also looking forward to two weeks of rest and relaxation because as soon as I get back school, placements and work will quickly kick into full gear.
Wishing all of you a healthy, happy and restful Christmas and Hanukkah! I'd like to leave all of you with this lovely choreographed number of the 12 Gays of Christmas.
Happy Holidays!!!
