15.

It was nice being home for a short while and getting to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time and also to visit with my family for a bit. I was able to exhibit my neutrality regarding trivial situations that don't directly involve me by seeing everyone in my family on Thanksgiving despite an ongoing family dispute. Life is too short (and I don't have the energy) to hold grudges against people in my own family especially when they've been forgiven by the people who were directly affected.

One more week of classes and one week until my birthday give me something to look forward to. Winter break will be much appreciated this year and hopefully I'll be able to get some much needed rest and visit with friends and family.

For the first time that I can remember I've been having dreams (that I actually remember) pretty regularly now. I wouldn't call all of them nightmares, but they are not exactly happy dreams either. In one of the dreams I had last week I cut my finger on an open box cutter that was in my pocket. The cut was ridiculously deep, but not bleeding. I told the people I was with that I had to go to the hospital to get stitches, but along my walk I kept bumping into people and stopping for conversation. The cut got progressively larger and seemed to relocate further down my finger. There was no pain so I wouldn't call it a bad dream by any means, but it was a strange one.
