Final exams are approaching in less than three weeks. Everybody is working hard. Scary as it might sound, but the prospect of the long nice break after that is really worth fighting for. In less than three week, I will have my first winter break in the United States. Since I will only stay in the States till May, I want to make use of this break to its fullest potential and get as much as possible. In fact, there are many plans that I am looking forwards to do, right after the finals.
Right after my last exam on Thursday, I will dine out with my friends. Actually, their finals are not over until Friday, but because some of them, the exchange students, will leave the States on Saturday, we decide to make use of our last time together as well, even if it means to take our time from reviewing for the class. It is going to be their last days and their program is over, so they just say “whatever”. However, the party is not over yet on Thursday, we have another one on Friday and it is not going to be over until the next morning. Every international student from France, Finland, Mexico, Germany, Mongolia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, those we have met is going to be there. How exciting!
I will spend the rest of my break with my best friend in. She is a medical student at college over there. We have known each other for more than 5 years already and the last time I met her was just before I came to Evansville this fall. Though it has just been like four months but I miss her already. So the prospect of spending my entire break with her is thrilling, I cannot wait to talk to her again. We also have plans to visit different places in Boston and the surrounding cities. Especially, we are going to countdown for the arriving of 2010 in New York City! I heard that it would be crazy out there, but I do not care because it would be the highlight of my stay here in the States. We will also go to some museums It has always been my dream to see the famous New York City. However, at some point, I am scared of the madness here as well and the thing is that I am quite small compared to the average American people. There are some interesting museums in New York, especially the Imperial Palace. So
those places are sure on my travel agenda as well. Another two closed friends are also joining us later. So this meeting will even lighten all of us up.
Probably, I am also seeing my relatives in the course of this winter. They are living in Washington D.C and it seems like years since I last saw them. If I do have chance to go there, I hope to visit various places of interest in this well-known city. However, I am still not sure about the plan because I will still go there again next March for my program workshop. So I think I can put it off until March and take time going to other places instead.
Having come from a tropical hot country, I am also looking forward to see snowfall. It would be the first time in my life to see snow and I am just super excited about it. Probably, skiing is a good idea as I have obviously never done that before. I have yet to find out where I can do the sports. But if it is too costly, I would need a second thought on the plan.
My flight back arrives in St. Louis several days before spring semester starts, so chances are I might spend few days traveling and visiting places there. Though it wouldn’t be my first time in that city, there are still many more places I have not got the opportunities to see yet. Nevertheless, I am all by myself. Hence, I am not really sure if I can do it or not. I still need to get information beforehand or I will get lost in the city.
In a nutshell, I am looking forward to enjoy winter break after few months of studying. There are some plans which I am sure of, and there are others which I still have to think about it. Nevertheless, just the prospect of the vacation alone leaves me with excitement. No doubt that I will have the best winter break ever.
