December month in review banner

December was a whirlwind of a month! I spent the first week writing my final papers. I flew home on December 8 (Saturday) and started a practicum at the public library on December 10. That ran until December 21. My best friend came home that day, then came Christmas, and now I’ve got two weeks of holidays but those two weeks have flown by fast and I’ll be heading back to Vancouver on Saturday! December was a wonderful month, though. The practicum was an excellent learning experience, I’ve been spending lots of time with friends and family, and enjoying a snowy winter.
