And just like that..

..I'm back at school.

I hated saying goodbye to this weekend, to the whole winter break. It was hard. I don't think it's hit me yet that I'm back at school. I miss being able to dance in the mornings and do what I want to do in the afternoons. I'll miss going out at night too because once all the schoolwork kicks in, I'll be too busy for any "fun".

Thankfully, this semester should be a lot less stressful than last semester. I only have to teach one day a week, and only one grade. Last semester, I was teaching all the time, and more than one grade got really confusing!

SO- it's now time for.... My weekend in a nutshell:

Friday: Made dinner for "S" and went to see the movie, "Couples Retreat". Funny movie.. I had wanted to see it forever. Wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Saturday: "S" stayed overnight so that we could take an early train out to NYC. Arrived in NYC around 11:30 and walked down 5th to Central Park. Walked through Central Park a lot. Saw things I had never seen before. Took a lot of pictures. We walked around to find a place to eat lunch. We ended up eating at TGI Friday's because it seemed to be the only restaurant that wasn't packed with people. We walked around more.. saw the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, Radio City, Times Square, street performers, Rockafeller Center... you know.. the usual NYC sightseeing stuff.

Sunday: Slept in. Lazy day. Hung out with "S". Got ready to go back to school. Ate cheesecake since I was craving it all weekend! "S" helped me bring my stuff back into the dorm. He's the best.

I leave you with pictures. Have a great day =)
