Coming home for Christmas break was a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time with my family, went to my grandma's house and spent a few days with some friends that came to visit from Canada. It was a great break, even if it wasn't all that relaxing. Here's some pictures of Christmas with the family

Yesterday I got back to Taylor. It's been great to see friends, but it's been really strange. I feel like I have grown and changed in the last 2 months and I don't know how to relate to most people. I've been living on my own for so long, and now I'm expected to live as part of a huge community. It's also been hard to be a student after a whole semester of teaching. Don't get me wrong, I love my apartment mates and my class isn't bad... it's just strange and going to take some getting used to.
