So close to Christmas....


THANKSGIVING!!!!  In short, it has been a marvelous week, though I have had a bit too much homework for it to be a true vacation.  In all truth and honesty, I have probably stressed about my homework more than relaxed.  Ah well.  In three weeks I will be finished with this semester and will be able to come home and be a true lazy bum.  Now….I just need to survive the next 21 days.  Wish me luck.

Being home was wonderful.  Mom cooked fabulous meals, we put together our Christmas legos, decorated for Christmas, watched movies, had good conversations, visited Grandma, saw family, and I slept and did a bit of homework.  All of which were utterly wonderful things.  We actually have had two Thanksgivings, ever since Grandma went into the care center.  On Thanksgiving itself, we go to the care center, pay them for a meal, and have Thanksgiving there.  The previous two years, the meal hasn’t been too bad, but, this year I was distinctly reminded of my many years of eating cafeteria food.  However, all of Dad’s side of the family made it down to spend Thanksgiving with us, so it was quite fun to see everyone. 

On Saturday, Mom made Thanksgiving dinner, and it was delicious.  All in all, it has been a good week.  I am, however, looking forward to the Christmas holidays! 

Oooh!  I talked to Dad about getting a new laptop again, and he said go ahead.  I have decided that I am not going to buy it until just before I come home for Christmas, simply because I will want to play with it, and right now, I just don’t have time.

Well…I think I shall sign off now.  I decided to spend the night here, so I need to get up around 5:30 so I can get back in time for classes.  Wish me luck!
