Thanksgiving is here again...

I am trying so hard to restrain myself and not freak out about waiting on campus for residents to leave and fighting against this potential snow mess that could happen. I would hate to have to take a train home to New York in messy weather, but I am just doing the best I can to distract myself. I have started work on my novel again and I just cranked out one of my final papers. Luckily, I took a rough draft to the Writing Center, so finishing it up was a cinch. I do not have much to say tonight, but I did want to re-introduce myself to you because I have been missing in action around here. November was just about the craziest month ever for me. I cannot wait to go home and see my family!

This past weekend, I finished a book! I was so jazzed because I have not had time for pleasure reading in four weeks. I completed Stewart O' Nan's Last Night at the Lobster in one afternoon. It is a pretty short book, but it took the longest time for me to just sit down and finish it. The novel itself was pretty interesting to read because the author did so much research about the terms used in a restaurant and really made me feel like I was spending a snowy day inside a Red Lobster. It was exciting for me to read this because I have lived in New Haven now for four years and he would mention road signs or different cities in Connecticut that I could not help but crack the widest smile as if to say "Oh my gosh! I know where that is!"

Well, I have a hot cup of tea and one more assignment calling my name before I crash land under my comforter. I will definitely be back very soon with more exciting updates!
