THERE I am today (8/11)

I am not living anymore in the town where my university is located. I am working in a boarding school but I am still a student. I should have been in a period of revisions and exams but I am not. These so expected revisions will take place during the last week of the holidays.
I am preparing myself to spend Christmas holidays at home with family and friends.
I plan to spend the fisrt days of 2008 alone at home, working and revising...It's just that I am not very fond of New Year's Eve.
