I have been out here in Los Angeles for quite a while now! Things have gone really well from Christmas, to the Getty museum, to the New Year's celebration, and my homemade barbecue sauce among other things.
I can feel vacation coming to a close, but I am also kind of eagerly anticipating classes to continue. This break has done me very well, but here is the deal:
I think I have to crank out a few daily blogs consecutively. So I am going to try to maintain the following course to correct my deficient blog count. In order to write four additional blogs to this one, I am going to write about San Francisco & vicinity, Santa Cruz & vicinity, sites and holidays in Los Angeles, and aspirations for this next school term. That is 1, 2, 3, and 4 that should put me at 10 blogs over this break. The remainder of this entry will contain mostly reflections.
Reflections such as the holidays and family. I could write pages about this, but I will keep it down to a couple paragraphs. Words should roll freely out of the fingertips of anyone when asked to reflect about holidays passed and the memories that accompany them. It should not be hard to imagine all of the smells, sights, tastes, and sounds that typically envelope this time of year. While I am on the topic, however, it can also be a time that can strike up memories of loneliness or desolation, but my intent here is not to induce a feeling of gloomy holidays. It is easy enough to simply state that some people just don't celebrate the season.
This year, my main memory revolves around the company. A few days ago I was struck with a feeling that left me longing for a more adventurous holiday season. Yet, upon further inspection I realized that my yearning was immature. I actually do cherish spending the holidays in the presence of family and friends. It dawned on me that I could have spent my winter break alone, but that's as far as that goes. Alone.
Sounds like a bad idea to me.
That should be good for tonight. I am pretty happy and have had a great vacation so far.
