You Are

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!!!
