School

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  I've been quite busy.

Last week was Thanksgiving.  Sunday night was roommate Thanksgiving, for which I made five pies.  The epic snowstorm that was forecasted for Tuesday night and Wednesday never showed (1/2 an inch?!?).  I watched all three Lord of the Rings movies.  I went to winco, and bought approximately $3 worth of food.  They had also sent out an ad with coupons for free bacon, orange juice, english muffins, cereal, and eggs.  Megan and I shared.  I read books!  (Including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.)  I had no stuffing, all week :(

Mostly, I went to Herriman to spend Thanksgiving with the Woodwards and the Rosses.  (Is that how you pluralize it, or am I making things up?)  I arrived on Wednesday evening, made pies, and slept.  On Thursday morning we ran the Turkey Trot.  It was about 5 degrees outside.  Then we went back to the house, prepared hors d'oeuvres, and finished up the place-setting and side-dish-making.  We ate food, which was awesome.  I particularly liked the yam casserole, which had dried apricots, mango nectar, and a crumb topping.  Mmm...  Kelsey brought an awesome chocolate chip cheesecake.  We also had mom's apple-raspberry-cranberry relish!  It made my day.

That evening, we watched this video, and the second LotR movie.  Friday morning we got up, ate cheesecake and pie for breakfast, and went to the gym (thank goodness!).  I stayed for the afternoon, and Aunt Geniel, Suzannah, and I went Black Friday shopping at Target and Plato's Closet.  It was great :)

I returned to the apartment Friday evening, and watched the Return of the King while eating ice cream and pie.  Lots of it.  Saturday was fairly unproductive; I actually slept in until 12:42 pm, which was amazing.  I also read two pages of my physiology textbook.  Then Heidi came home and we went to Target and spent too much money.  Ah well, there are always returns... :)

Sunday was pretty low-key as well.  All of my roommates returned (it had been just Megan and I previously; we had fun, but it was a little quieter than normal) and we had fun.  I also played the piano for two hours after church.  That was great, but it tensed up my back so much that I couldn't fall asleep because I literally could not relax my muscles.

Monday - work, school, work, study, test, cold, study.

Tuesday - work, school, study.  Went to bed at 8, woke up at 10:30, went back to bed at 1.

Wednesday - study, school, work, blog, study.

Upcoming:
1. I'm giving a presentation on diabetes in my physiology class tomorrow.
2. I have an econ assignment and a politics paper due tomorrow.  I am also going to see Tangled with Heidi.
3. I have my Spanish oral final on Friday.
4. Two econ assignments due next week.  Kill me now.
5. Sleep.  Remember those days when I would sneak about to stay up late?  Now I sneak about to go to bed  early.

Oh, the gray and drab life of a student two weeks before finals.
