Although there was continuous poking by all, I believe everyone ensured that it does not affect the study and exam schedules. The constant calling of friends from back home and questions such as “What are you getting for us?” might have been experienced by all. Be it the Michigan Avenue or the retail outlets, everyone shopped their hearts out for their families and friends.Īlthough the finals week slowed down the tempo of everyone shopping on the streets, the shopping websites were visited all the time during the studies to ensure that nothing is left behind in terms of gifts to be bought. The constant feeling of “Baggage allowance does not exceed the prescribed limit” ran through the mind continuously but this did not hamper the shopping spree. The enthusiasm amongst my friends was clearly visible while shopping since I could see many of them talking back home as to what should be bought and what should be taken. The finals did not hamper the Thanksgiving shopping for everyone since the excitement and emotions were running totally on the top gear. Going back home after a period of almost one and half years was certainly an achievement, to say the least, since many others like me would have not stayed away for this long from their families or loved ones. Thinking of it made us all so emotional and sentimental and I believe, everyone who read this might have felt the same. Why do you ask? I was, or I would say we all were going back home for the vacations to India. But this time around in 2019, the holidays were going to be a bit sweeter. Thanksgiving followed by Christmas was the normal routine that we followed in 2018.
