It's very relaxing - I'm sipping a delicious pumpkin spice latte, and I'm listening to the Vitamin String Quartet's Christmas Album, but I can still hear people talking in the background. Specifically, the people ordering coffee and a lady next to me, who is tutoring a 3rd grade boy. I can't help but think about my future as a teacher while I sit here. I want to be that person who tutors kids, who helps them understand. I'm enthusiastic and I really care about them. It just makes me want to finish college right now and start living. I know I talk about college in a different way than other students might, but hey, that's just how I feel. I feel like these last couple months are holding me back from my full potential. I know being in the "real world" is going to be difficult. I know it's going to cost a lot of money that I don't necessarily have - especially when I have to start paying back my student loans.
But I am so ready.
Also, being here makes me excited for Christmas. The mall, from what I can see, has a few decorations up already - is that holly? Maybe. Haha. Maybe not. I can't wait for the holidays. I can't wait to be home with my family.
Bring it on, November... now, to finish this historiography paper.

I'm really glad you love B&N as much as I do :) BN has this strange effect on me too, I get so much work done there its crazy. I have this magic paper writing thing that happens there that I can usually handwrite an entire paper with some tea, at BN, in just a couple hours. I love it. And if you were at MArketfair, they decorate the rest of the mall really eloquently at christmas time :) I think I had a post about that last year :)
