Believe it or not, I am already planning my next “vacation”, excitedly counting down the days to home sweet home San Francisco (December 15, 2008-January 2, 2009). Concerned about the erratically changing airline tickets and policies, I decided to book two direct flights to San Francisco International Airport from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport courtesy of KLM airlines.

As everyone is probably painfully aware of, Christmas Season is unforgiving to one’s pockets, especially in regards to international flights. With rising fuel prices, I am afraid that flying back home is going to be even more financially challenging.

I have to keep reminding myself that going back home is not a luxury as much as a necessity, an obligation to my own well-being. I must confess that I am once again finding it incredibly difficult to living in a world of perpetual rain and cloudiness. Fortunately, I have a wonderful fiancé who manages to put up with my occasional tantrums about the horrible weather.

In the mean time, I can work deligently on my thesis, daydream about my semi-recent escape to Italy, mischievously plan my upcoming vacation and wedding details, and desperately try to not go crazy in a world where I obviously don’t belong in. And of course, be more deligent in blogging!
