Ending Break

Every time I go shopping I'm reminded how much I hate shopping.  It's exhausting and takes up so much time.  But, I go back to school on Sunday and I needed some things for the cold which deemed a shopping trip necessary.  
And then there's contemplating the pending trip back up to school.  I am so done with school.  I feel very burned out already and I just want to be done.  I'm usually happy for school and, as much as I would rather be at home I'm usually ready for my usual school routine.  Not this time.  I'm just over it and so done.  It's harder to accept though while thinking about how exactly a year ago today I was leaving for Spain.  All I can think about now is how another adventure is awaiting me in South Korea after graduation and I can;t believe I still have a whole semester in my way before that.
There's no stopping it though, so all I can do is enjoy this last week at home and hope I have more opportunities to visit on weekends during the semester.
Also, my brother is home from his holiday in Minnesota and it's weird having him back.  For the first time in 18 years I was an only child again and now the bathroom is back to being riddled with his dirty knickers and socks.  But I'm glad to have him back all the same.

Anyway, here's today's photo, just more experimenting with the new Lensbaby.

A more proper self portrait will come in a bit.  And here's another shot from when I went to meet my friends on 4th Ave the other day.
