Okay you already knew that, but I'm just so excited about it. I leave in 16 days! 16 days, that's just nothing. And totally a silver lining to the week of studying for my anthropology exam. Plus I get to see one of my best friends from high school this weekend and we rarely get to see each other because we go to different schools and she is always traveling. <br /><br />I feel better about studying already-- thanks!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878749520906342274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-76754343257315965152010-12-12T09:58:49.305-05:002010-12-12T09:58:49.305-05:00I can totally relate to this, as I'm sort of i...I can totally relate to this, as I'm sort of in this position right now. I'm so anxious for this semester to end and for winter break to get here, but all I can think of is how awful it will be to go back for my last semester. <br /><br />But then again, I do the same "silver lining" thing that you do. I just think about how it's my last semester, and how at this time next year, I won't be bogged down with finals. Sure, I'll have work obligations, but that doesn't seem so bad because at least I'll be making money for what I do! haha! <br /><br />Here's hoping you have a great vacation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-83744436910326250372010-12-12T09:15:13.953-05:002010-12-12T09:15:13.953-05:00Great post!

Vegas overwhelms me with the smoke and casinos, but the shopping, the hotels, the shows are such fun (and the visual is amazing!). And Disneyland in the winter, full of lights and happiness. Have a wonderful time.<br /><br />I am off to Oman on Friday for a week.

I think that the whole "anticipation" thing is why we're let down. Over the weeks or months of anticipation, we build up the event in our minds until it is almost too fabulous to be real. Then we're underwhelmed.<br /><br />Or when the event happens, it goes by so quickly, while the anticipation lasted and lasted....<br /><br />I like your "silver lining" way of looking at things. I also call that "reframing," in that I try to look at things in a more positive way.<br /><br />Hope your holidays live up to your anticipation, though. While you're in the moments, savor them. Then they'll last longer!<br /><br />Here's my salon:<br /><br />http://accidentalmoments.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/the-sunday-salon-dec-12/Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-27773065800785277562010-12-12T07:09:20.806-05:002010-12-12T07:09:20.806-05:00Wow.
