Holidays in Brighton

I can't believe Christmas is in 9 days! It hasn't really felt like it, but I think that's because I know I won't get to spend it with family as usual. :( At least Brighton has holiday decorations around town and that helps! It's quite pretty. I think it may have snowed today too! I'm not sure...maybe it was hail? This California girl isn't really an expert in these things. :P

So, a little over a week ago, I finished my classes for my first term of graduate school. Crazy how time flies! I'm not super relieved though because we don't have our final exam or final term paper until the beginning of next term in early/mid January. We do have a month off though, so I just came back from the Andalucia region of Spain and Paris for about a week. In Brighton for these two days, then off to Egypt! I come back New Years Eve and then, I will really focus on this school work!

These photos are from around Brighton and at two holidays parties - one for our Global Political Economy Masters group and one hosted by my friend, Veronica.

Happy holidays, everyone!!!
