1. I have no money...
Yeah, remember that internet thing that I said I was having installed? That was super expensive. Also I live on my own and I have a fairly new car with a payment, so I really don't have a ton of extra money to spend on a trip. If I would have went with my sisters, it would have been fairly cheap, but once I got down there I know I would've spend way more than I had on stupid stuff that I don't need:)
2. I would miss out on a week's worth of money...
In addition to the fact that I don't have that much money to begin with, I also would lose out on a full week of pay. If I had the paid time off saved up, I would've done it, but I don't.
3. I have a ton of stuff that I HAVE to do...
I've been so ridiculously busy with school, work, and my sorority that I haven't had any time for...anything. My dishes are starting to get to that disgusting stage. By bathroom is in desperate need of a cleaning. And as much as I really don't want to do it all, it has to be done soon, because I'lm really the only one who is going to do it.
4. I have so much homework...
Everyone was talking about how I could do homework on vacation. I could shut myself in a room for a couple hours, finish everything up, and head back out to the pool. I can tell you right now that is not what would happen. I would end up sitting in a room for five or six hours, not actually getting anything done due to the beautiful sunlight streaming through the window and the laughter of people outside of it. Then, I would give up and go put my swinsuit on. Better to just stay at home and actually get some of my homework accomplished!
5. I have a ton of stuff that I WANT to do...
I love to craft. I really do. But, I always get started on something and then don't have time to finish it. If you knew how many half finished scarves I have tucked away in my apartment, it would astound you. Maybe I'll have some time to actually finish something.
6. I don't see people anymore...
My family complains all of the time that I never come home. My friends from school never get to see me enough. My friends from work never get to see me enough. There is literally not enough hours in the week to spend a sufficient amount of time with everyone I know. I need a secretary to pencil people into my schedule a few months in advance to actually be able to see anyone. It is nice this week to be able to just go out with friends after work, or spend an entire day at home with my family.
7. I'm already used to this weather....
As nice as it would be to have it eighty degrees out right now, it isn't. And, it still won't be at the end of this week when everyone is home again. I'm already used to this miserable weather and I know that a trip to a nicer part of the world would just make me miss summer and be more depressed about how cold it is when I got home. I'm just going to do my best to wait it out :)

| Only a few more months of having to dress like this. I may look happy, but trust me, anyone who is smiling in a snowy picture is faking it :) |
I think my biggest reason for staying home is that, at the end of the week, I'll have everything together. I'll be ready to face the rest of the winter and the rest of the semester, with my apartment all put together and my homework all done. I will finally be able to relax knowing everything is in order. If I was just coming from vacation, all I would have is one week of relaxation on top of a half a semester left of freaking out and trying to catch up :)
