My day has gotten ten times better: Philly airport has free internet access!!! Before, you had to be a "member" or pay as you surf. Definitely not for me. However, now that the internet is free, I'm able to surf the Web without limits. WOOT!
I love sitting at the airport and waiting for my flight. You get to see the kinds of people who come and go. They're all so involved with their lives. It's sometimes fun to guess who they are: occupation, family, kids?, where they're going and why they're going.
I need to put Thanksgiving pictures up here for all of you to see. Thursday was indeed Thanksgiving and with the bird day comes my favorite part besides the food: the Macy's Day Parade!!!! It was so great to watch on TV this year. I was able to flop and watch. One of these days (if I'm not already living in NYC, able to watch the parade from the comfort of my flat) I want to take a trip to New York to see the parade in person. I think that would be the greatest thing to do. We'd get up really early, get on the train from Hamilton, NJ and go. It would be spectacular!
We went to my Aunt Sheryl's house for Thanksgiving. We haven't had Thanksgiving dinner with my mom's side of the family since God knows when. My grandmom didn't know we were all getting together for Thanksgiving so it was a really nice surprise for her. And it was so much fun because my mom's side is NUTS! Lots of laughs and food to be had. Yum!
Nothing really happened on Black Friday much to my enjoyment because I wanted to sleep.
Saturday was a busy day. My uncle has an annual Toys for Tots motorcycle run at his restaurant. Santa and elves ride on a firetruck and go out into the surrounding area and brings some early Christmas cheer to those who may not have such a magical Christmas.
Around 5:30pm, mom took grandmom, Austin, Alan and me to Princeton. We walked around to see the decorations in the store windows and at the town square. It was so much fun and I got a lot of pictures. The town square tree was beautiful! Afterwards, we went to a diner and then back home. I was ready for bed but not until I watched Polar Express.
Now I'm waiting for my plane to get here so I can go back to school. We're planning a little party for Ash since it's her birthday tomorrow. I can't wait for her to open what we got her. She's gonna be so surprised!!! I love birthdays. Buckner and I are supposed to be decorating my room. Ash is working in the art building tonight so it's a perfect set up. Oh, I can't wait!
Pictures will be put up, I swear.
This semester has flown by! It seems like a week ago I unpacked my things and moved into TK. My sophomore year is flying by and I don't know how I feel about that.
I'm planning for about eight projects being due when I return from Thanksgiving. I probably won't be able to update this bad boy while I'm gone. I have five days with family, one including dinner with Jill. This time will definitely just be spent with family and away from the computer, unless I'm writing papers and such at night. Sorry, ya'll. But, when I return, I will regail my Jersey adventures with you. Promise.
My flight is tomorrow at 10am, which means Buckner and I have to get up at like 5:30 to leave her house at 6am. It's going to be BRUTAL but oh so worth it. I also need a haircut like woah! Andrea, my cousin, is a beautiful beautician and she said she'd be totally willing to give me cut. I'm trying to decide on the next hairstyle I want. I'm going to keep my hair short but I don't know if I want a bob or if I just want a short cut.
These are what I'm thinking about:
Thursday is nearly over which means this highly stressful week is almost over. I have overcome! Hallelujah! I hear angels singing and children giggling.
My Advanced News article isn't due until Tuesday so I have a little extra time to work on it. My CDP article was handed in yesterday. Kinda worried, not gonna lie.
The photoshoot last night was amazing! Ben and I, I think, did very well. We model great together haha Martha was really appreciative which, as long as she's happy, I'm happy. She didn't take any digitals so I won't have those to share with ya'll. Oops!
Urinetown is premiering tonight in MPAC. If you're in the Nashville area, swing by Belmont's campus and have a looksy at the most peculiar show I'm attending. A review for the Vision is in order so that's why I'm going.
Have a great rest of the week & a fab weekend!
