Mostly, I really just can't take a break from focusing on the dissertation and I'll be the only typist all that week at my other job, so extra work $$. I usually go to my sister's but her family is headed to the carribean and I went to my mom's on Thanksgiving. It's more really needing to keep up writing momentum when I'm not teaching. If I don't graduate this school year, they aren't going to let me continue, so. All I'm doing is working, and I just can't really take a break. Well, I'm going to take this Friday off to get to a couple of exhibits at MMA and MOMA and to see the city's department store holiday windows, but that's about it.
