Thanksgiving Break

So I returned from Brazil on Tuesday morning and by then everyone on campus had pretty much left to go home for thanksgiving. I was left here with one friend who also stayed the entire time and then some others that left and returned at different times. I thought the break would be a lot harder than it actually was. I think because I wasn't home it didn't really feel like Thanksgiving, so I wasn't really bothered by missing it all that much. Instead I just got a bunch of things in order (packed a box to send home, sent some packages and postcards out, did laundry, do some touristy shopping for the family) and then just slept, read, and watched some TV. On Thursday I went out to eat at a really nice place with my friend Mike. The only opening we could get was at 8 pm which was alright. The place we went to said we could watch the game so we were happy that it wasn't too coupley and familyish, however it was sooo the opposite. But again it was actually pretty fun, we're pretty close friends so we just talked about a bunch of random stuff. After dinner we went back and hung out with another one of our friends taht had come back early to work on his research paper. Overall it turned out to be a pretty good Thanksgiving.

Now, I'm just having so much fun with all of my friends. I'm excited to go to home and visit Ripon during finals week but yet again, I really like it here. Just hanging out with friends and not having a lot of homework and NO exams. It's so stress free, which is exactly how I like it.
