So, I had my first Thanksgiving away from family this year. I missed them all, but I have to say, it all went over pretty well. Obviously they don't do Thanksgiving over here, but an american in the flat below and I set up a thanksgiving celebration between our two flats. We had two turkeys, casseroles, drank wine, played cluedo (That's what they call Clue over here... ?). The turkeys were really hard to locate. They are widely available around Christmas, but not really for thanksgiving. It all went super well... For once, I had to cook the casseroles though, I finally understand why all of my aunts wake up early and start doing stuff. They don't just make themselves haha. After we all ate about three plates full more than we needed, and played some Cluedo, we went to the union (the bar/ club/ pub on campus) to watch some american football. Packers vs. Lions. Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the football.
Things are finally picking up homework wise. Actually I guess it isn't speeding up or anything. The homework has been on the syllabus since the beginning, but the due dates are all here now. So it has been a stressful study-filled nightmare. Especially since the library is only open until ten and the coffee shop closes five hours before that. Why bother selling coffee? So not a lot new is happening. But only a couple of weeks until I get to see parents and alex in Italy!!!! Hurray!
