Contrary to what the title of the post may lead you to believe, this will not be a brief summary of the events of my Christmas break. If, for some reason, you want that, give me a call.
Jen and I have been in Michigan for 5ish days and we head back to MA in 3. This is my first Christmas as a non-student and the brevity of the break is hard to get used to. I just got here and now it's time to think about preparing to leave. In most ways, I consider myself a break realist. That means, I tend to know what can and cannot fit into a break, and am usually able to accomplish what I deem necessary.
This break has not been that way. I made a mental list of people I need to see on the 15 or so hour drive here, and most of my list remains unvisited. I think this may have a mathematical explanation. The farther I move from home, the more energy it takes to reconnect with people at home, and therefore the fewer people with whom I reconnect.
Do relationships really have to be this way?
