a tree.

sometimes a girl needs a little holiday cheer. and so she scoops up branches found on the side of the road and totes them home with her. across campus. crazy-person style.
 
i had to.
 
and now i’m just sitting here, wrapped up in a blanket and enjoying the shadows that the needles cast on my wall. and thinking about christmas decorations. and making presents. and baking cookies. but mostly i’m breathing a huge sigh of relief that the semester is over.
 
thank goodness.
