Thanksgiving

Dear Loyal Reader / Prudence :) ,

I started a post a couple of weeks ago about the Opus Prize but it’s not ready yet. I don’t know how to accurately convey the inspiration I felt those two days…

The next 2 weeks will be spent studying and probably getting a C in return. Great feeling. Story of the whole Fall Quarter, unfortunately!

(worthwhile studying before Fall Ball)

Thanksgiving “break” was such a tease, but I am thankful for it anyway. Jake stayed with me which was really fun. We had a huge music exchange – always a win in my book! He got to see my family at its finest, grandparents included. We made the biggest Thanksgiving feast in my family’s history (which says a lot) and enjoyed the results while watching Kung Fu Panda for the second time. What more can you ask for? We decided we wanted to hit up some Black Friday deals, but failed to get up by 4:30 AM because we stayed up late chatting. We ended up making it to two sales at 8 AM!

This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for my friends, defenders of the silver lining. For family, no matter how dysfunctional. For hearts on fire, in action. For music. For memories. For opportunity. For health. For laughter. For trust. For goodness. For hope (Obama). For impending snowfall. For this winter’s nice weather! For bad (sexyback) dancing! For the internet! For DVDs! Specifically: their stories, their messages, their humor, their feeding of my soul. Honorable mention: The Fall, Closer, Flight of the Conchords, Kung Fu Panda, Love Actually.

Now, ON TO CHRISTMAS!
Adios, funds.

…but first comes finals. WHY???
