Home For The Holidays

Let’s just say last week was quite a rollercoaster. It was the start of finals on Monday the 14th and my life just became of pool of work. My roommate and I pulled multiple all nighters writing, proofing, and studying. Thankfully, all of the hard work paid off and my final papers were submitted on time and my exams were less than painful. On top of that I had to get ready to go back home to New Hampshire. I knew that I was done with school this past Friday, but with all my studies I thought it would be smart leave New York on Sunday. That was great for multiple reasons. First, I got to procrastinate on cleaning and packing! Second, I was able to spend quality free time with my friends without academics interfering. However, on Saturday I received an e-mail that my bus had cancelled their entire schedule on Sunday because of the storm, no biggy! I scheduled a ticket with another company that didn’t seem to have the same problem and went back to my business. That night New York was hit with a snowstorm and everyone fell in love with it. Kids were making snow angels on 55th, making snowmen, having snowball fights, etc. The city was granted a white Christmas! Well, after a night of enjoying the snow I woke up early Sunday morning, checked out of my room in 55th and headed off on my trip. To my surprise the company I was traveling with didn’t e-mail their customers and all busses to Boston were cancelled!!!! Ugh, so unfortunate! Anyway, I called my cousin and asked if I could stay with him downtown until I could get out of the city. Thankfully, I was able to schedule a train for the next day. However, after more traumatic experiences within the next 24 hours I finally made it back to snowy New Hampshire. This semester was truly phenomenal and I cannot wait to go back!! Signing off until February, JoeyG.
