Though I had actually started earlier in the week, and I would've done during then if I weren't sick all that time. My illness dragged on for a whole two weeks...horrible, horrible! But at least I do tend to work better under pressure, and I think I got a decent grade on that paper.

Continuing on, I assign:

Airlines. And airports. Particularly LAX which is the worst airport I've ever been in. Living in airports for two days and not knowing whether you'll get to go home at all is so NOT fun.

But at last, a very disgruntled me did make it home (thank goodness). Note: a person should not make it to their destination two days after their luggage does.

And from there I should also assign leaving again less than 24 hours after getting home. But that's a whole other story. Let's just say I've had a very crazy holiday traveling experience.

That sudden snapping back to reality that is having to go back to school on the second day of the year (because classes start on the third), and realising that although the holiday break was not really as short as you thought a couple of weeks would be, it was...unproductive. In an academic perspective, anyway.

The lack of chili sauce, that itself goes into the Shire for making anything not only taste tolerable but quite often good. Then again it might belong in Orthanc for being quite addictive and spoiling your taste.
