Subtle Things & Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, my sister's birthday fell on Thanksgiving. As much as she loves this, because she gets pie for her dessert (she made a cherry pie, in fact) I feel like she deserves a day all to herself.
Happy 18th Birthday, baby sister. Like I said in your card, I truly admire your character and spirit, and I love you with all my heart.

Unfortunately, I worked on Thanksgiving. After work, Tim and I changed, and went to his mother's house for dinner, and then we went to my parent's house for pie and Toy Story 3. I really love my family, and I am utterly grateful for the joy that they bring me. I was talking with my little brothers as they went to bed, and before I tucked them in, I had shown them a photo of the puppy Tim and I are considering adopting. They spent ten minutes screaming out names such as "Tron", "Setharoth" (whose namesake is that of a "boss" in Kingdom Hearts) "Boogy" and "Flower". I love their naivete. However, their creativity inspired Tim and I; if we get a girl, her name will be "Daisy" and if we get a boy we like the names "Bruiser" and "Speedy".

Today was the terrifying Black Friday. I worked at 5:15 in the morning, and had to hunt down a parking spot in the goonies of the parking lot. I promise you, I sold at least 1000 pairs of socks. HOLYGOODLORDINHEAVENJESUS.

School is getting me down. It's dead week! Bah! Yo tengo examen el espanol en el viernes. (I have a Spanish exam on Friday). On Monday I have a 20 minute presentation, and a five page essay outline due (the essay is due next week, along with a website explaining my progress in college, and if I meet the University goals.) And I also have an oral exam for Spanish as well. Eeeegads.
On a happier note, I registered for my second term! I'm taking hip-hop, psychology, Spanish and FRINQ. I think it will be so much fun! I still only attend class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Life busy -- but I am thankful for it.
