Turkey!

Hi there! Two weeks of classes and one week of exams are left to finish off Term 1. It is crazy to think how fast this term is flying by! Slow down! Although we say two weeks of classes what we really mean to say is..."it's time to get all those projects, labs, and experiments done that you were given in the beginning of the term." Crunch time!

Everyone is making their way back to campus from Thanksgiving break and looking forward to the weekend traditions, Holiday Banquet and Ball. The seniors are looking forward to decorating the tree and living up their last Holiday Ball!

Thanksgiving break was great! The first weekend I came home to sixty people at my house in celebration of my brother's recent engagement. It was wonderful to meet my brother's fiance's family! We are very excited for the wedding planning to begin too! Then there was Thanksgiving Eve where we of course had to get everyone together and make our way downtown. As we migrated towards East Ave the cover charges kept increasing! It was crazy one place was charging a twenty dollar cover. We ended up hearing two really good bands, one of my friends brother's played in the band and the other band we just happened to catch. Three of my EC friends came out that night with my other friends and I. It was great to have everyone together! Two of my friends from EC celebrated Thanksgiving with me as well at my Aunt's house, it was just as if they were born right into the family! Next on the agenda was a surprise party for my parent's 25th anniversary party. Almost everyone in both their wedding parties could attend. So it was the day of the party and everything was in place...guests all arrived, all the food ready, and a reason for my parents to get to the lodge. Mind you they thought I had already gone back to school and they were suppose to be attending my little cousins 16th surprise party at 3:30pm. So 3:30pm rolls around and we call them...it ends up my dad decided he wanted to be a car mechanic and work on the car. Long story short we got them to the lodge and had my cousin at the door, since they knew they had 'supposedly' already missed Greg's surprise they both walked in and said surprise. And in return they received more surprises. It took them a little while to realize that it was in fact a surprise for them! But we all got them! The night was filled with memories, laughs, lots of food, and even of course Italian cookies!! I will post pictures soon!

So my Mother had to say goodbye again, this time for real! I did reassure her though that I would be home within a few weeks. Monday morning traffic back to school was not to much fun on 390, but I got to my first class in time with a pleasant surprise. The lab report I was stressing about was not due for another week! It is a good feeling!! Okay time to get some work done! Ciao!
