Today is the
last day of fall semester for our students, and we are excited for a three-week
winter break! Some of our students share their plans for the break.
My plans for winter break include
(unfortunately) having my wisdom tooth removed, reconnecting with family and
friends, working on my thesis and enjoying my family’s holiday traditions. I’m looking forward to getting dressed up and
seeing the Boston Pops and watching the Patriots play in some snowy weather.
-Christine Drogan
I’m excited to wake up to coffee, freshly
brewed by one of my parents every morning for three weeks, as I plan to sleep
in during the break. When I’m not catching Z’s, I’ll be covering lots of ground
on my thesis, meeting with vendors for my upcoming wedding, enjoying my grandmas’
holiday baking, and helping my sister celebrate her 21st birthday!
-Lauren Winter
-Ashley Lahr
I’ll be taking a much needed trip to warmer
weather in Phoenix, Arizona and will be interviewing while I’m there! Of
course, celebrating the holidays with family is a must. To top it off, I’ll be
knocking a big chunk of data collection out of the way for my thesis.
-Andrew Fazenbaker
I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas
and New Year’s, as well as my favorite holiday- my birthday! Like my
classmates, I’m planning to get some work done for my thesis, but I’m also
planning to enjoy some downtime with my family and friends. I’ve got big plans
to bake for the holidays and curl up on the couch with a book and my dog.
-Alyson Evans
I have plans to work on my thesis, sleep a
lot, catch up on TV shows, and spend time with family and friends. I’ll be home
in Chicago for the first two weeks and visiting friends in Alabama for New
Year’s and some warmer weather!
-Claire McDonald
Like my classmates, being home for the
holidays means scheduling appointments with a few healthcare professionals. I
also plan to complete some case prep and an assignment, participate in
Christmas traditions with family and friends, and head to Antigua for some much
needed sunshine!
-Rose Venier
Over break I plan to SLEEP! My
favorite school-break tradition is re-reading the whole Harry Potter series, so
I’ll get to pretend I’m at Hogwarts. Christmas will be spent with my parents
and New Years will be spent with my friends in Chicago.
-Chelsey Walsh
Over break I plan to catch up on sleep,
spend time with my family here in Pittsburgh, and just relaxing. I’ll be
watching Christmas movies, mostly those on the Hallmark channel, along with the
classics such as ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’. My little sister will be coming home
from college so we will be going to the movies, Kennywood’s Light Up Night, and
causing mischief like normal.
