post-thanksgiving

i'm not sure whether or not i should be embarrassed listening to david archuleta right now, but i really like his song 'desperate'. i'm uploading my family's christmas cds as well, so hopefully things in boston will feel a bit more christmas-esque. i really want it to effing snow already.

my thanksgiving break has been very nice, though unfortunately i haven't had the opportunity to see any BC chicagoans, i.e. jeff, christina, katie. I am hoping that over christmas break when I have a bit more time I can make that happen. i've seen kasia, ben, and andy quite a bit, which is great. nothing mind-blowing, but highlights have included all-you-can-eat sushi, caribou, flu birds (they fly - you die), and rockband.

today at 4 i am partaking in the annual family "christmasfest", which kicks off the holiday at my aunt's house with pajamas, champagne, holiday movies, games, food, etc. i like to have a good buzz going for it but i really don't know how much champagne i can consume after feeling like i was going to explode/pass out at thanksgiving. props to bc people like vanessa who can pregame with a bottle of andrè - not I said the pig.

i am pleasantly surprised with myself in that i have written 4 out of 5 pages for one of my papers i was supposed to finish over break. i'm hoping to finish it at the airport/on the plane tomorrow. that will just leave my 8-pager for thursday. manageable, methinks. i wish grad school were over...and to think it's only been a semester. VOM. i cannot wait to have a whole month of nothing but holiday cheer, a trip to san francisco, and some work @ GSAS...
