T-Minus 3 days of school left...wait...I forgot about the make up classes after thanksgiving. At any rate, I'm nearing the end of this semester, which makes me a little nervous because that means that finals are in less than 2 weeks, which scares me a lot.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I am planning on making a full-hearted attempt at making an awesome thanksgiving dinner this year. We got the turkey, and I have a couple recipies from my family that I'm going to "try my best at." I've been assured that my best will be good enough even if everything goes to hell, but I guess everything is easier said than done, meaning its probably easier to say that it will be okay in the absence of a charred turkey and a few kitchen fires. Wish me luck.
Kitties are precious, but absolute nuisances. Tara has a new hobby of drinking out of the toilet, and Zoey has an ongoing obsession with sucking on Tara's feet. I think they're both mutant cats. They only start to get on my nerves when I wake up to some table getting knocked over into the window, or Zoey walking circles around my head purring like a car motor, every hour on the hour, but even then, I have a hard time staying upset for long...
I'm looking forward to heading home for Christmas. It'll be nice to not have to worry about school for awhile anyway, and also nice to spend time with my family. The only downfall is that word on the street says it gets down to 20 there at night? I'll go ahead and pass on that. It's been at least 75 here since I came, and I've been more than happy with that.
On a lighter note, I did some Christmas shopping recently, and some more today. Makes me smile. And although I had class today, it was one of the best days I've had in awhile. Joe is doing well, and made me smile all day:)
I talked to a couple Michigander friends last night, and learned what it was like to think it is 5 a.m. and have it only be 5 p.m....haha.... I guess tailgating is priceless.
"I am intrigued by your ideas, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter....weeeeeeeeee!"
p.s. I cannot WAIT for a rat rat chop chop tomorrow....it is the best campus food ever, and conveniently only $3.99...ZING!!!

Blackbelt in Keeping it Real
All that needs to be said about the trip to the mitten, is that it was interesting. Nice, break, good to see people.
It's what I came back to that warrants explanation...
My apartment was fine, no blown out windows, no tree on my car, and no flooded bedroom. I was happy about that, and I even had power when I came back, which was an extra plus. After a week (yes, a whole week) off of school, I knew there would be some sort of catch to the leisure time I was able to have.
Not only do I have extended classes all week, but I have a saturday morning 8 a.m., and classes the week after thanksgiving. Which give me less time in between my exams, and the time that classes end so I can start cramming. Killer huh. 8 a.m. on a Saturday? That's going to be the most exhilerating experience of my life, not to mention that it's with the glorious book tape of a Dean I posted about earlier. School basically just keeps getting better....
On another note, try this mental picture out. Traffic at 5 o'clock in Miami, kids dressed up for Halloween, and closed roads for trick-or-treaters. Add it up, and that equals a 40 minute drive home for me from campus...which is about 2 miles away. Imagine how slow cars moved for that one. Needless to say, I was able to use my horn a lot. Oh, and I forgot the part about some of the traffic lights not working yet. I didn't want to think about leaving my apartment when I finally got back.
Anyway, I thought I would take a short break and let anyone who's interested know that everything is still standing here, except for a lot of trees and some stop signs, and I guess power lines too, but my apartment was just as I left it, which I suppose is all I can really ask of mother nature.
This is what I learned today in my torts class... "most does not mean majority..." -My prof. (no joke)

Oh, and I had a good dinner last night...glorious:)
Sean Connery: Ah! Well met! I'll take Months That Start With Feb, Trebek.
Alex Trebek: For how much?
Sean Connery: Suprise me, you filthy bastard!
Alex Trebek: Okay, that's completely unnecessary. Months That Start With Feb for $800. This is the only month that starts with Feb.
[ Sean Connery buzzes in ]
Alex Trebek: Mr. Connery?
Sean Connery: Febtober!
