Q: What are you looking forward to now that the semester is almost over?
A: I’m ready to go home for break! I’m ready for my vacation, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to spend Christmas with my grandkids. I’m going to have my little grandkids over and have an old-fashioned Christmas tree and have them string it up with popcorn and ornaments. I’m going to do things I’ve never done before and make this Christmas really special. This is the best, best part of the whole year.
