'Think I'll be heading home on the 22nd or 23rd. I have about a two week break, then it's right back to the academic grind. I'll be taking a couple of pretty interesting courses next semester, in addition to all of my extracurriculars. Todd and I are also planning to move to be closer to campus, so that'll be an event when it finally comes around.
