Homesick

I experienced my first bit of homesickness today..

I must say it's difficult seeing families all around me, gathered together to celebrate the holidays, when my own family is miles and miles away.

I almost wish I didn't have the day off today-- it would be nice to have work to keep me busy.

I'm thinking about trying to meet some fellow interns up in D.C. today or tomorrow-- perhaps the trip will be a nice distraction; although, for now, Harry Potter and I have a date in a large, comfy couch at Panera, and I think that should be just the pick me up I need until I attempt a venture into the city this evening.. :)
