The Home Stretch

Ever notice how the days drag on right before a big break? Like those last few days before summer vacation begins, every hour seems to last a day. That's how I feel right now, just a couple of days before Thanksgiving break officially begins. It feels even slower now than it ever has, since I'm also eagerly anticipating seeing my family and going home, which I haven't seen in almost 3 weeks.
The school days themselves seem to go by as usual. It was the past two weekends here that really dragged. I know, I know, the weekends usually fly by. Not when you don't have anything fun to do.
Now it just seems like I'll never get a break from school, never get to sleep in my own bed and have my own bathroom, never get to play board games with my family and go out to eat with them. I know that Friday afternoon will come but I can't help wishing it was Thursday. Since my classes are on a block schedule (I have three of the same classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday--minus one of those on Friday--and two other classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and today's a Tuesday, I just want it to be Thursday. Not that Wednesdays are bad, it's just one more obstacle in my dash to the finish line. Of course, it's not the 'actual' finish line--that comes in about a month when finals are over and Christmas break begins (and I'm really looking forward to that, a whole month of no school--college is way better than HS!) But it is a 9-day break from school and I am definitely thankful for that.
In the meantime, I will try to keep busy doing homework that's due after break (so I don't have to waste my break doing HW), planning out the recipes I want to make when I go home (I haven't actually cooked in over a month, how sad) and packing. I know it doesn't take three days to pack but it will help me get in the Thanksgiving break spirit :)
How are you spending your last few days before break?
