#10

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving break.  Hopefully you were able to beat all the traffic leaving campus.  I on the other hand did not experience any traffic jams.  I guess that is one of the advantages leaving at 8 at night.  I especially enjoyed the long car ride home with my best friend in the passenger seat acting as my scribe whenever I received a new text message.

During break I was in the ultimate lazy mood and only the unbeatable prices at Wal-Mart and several other shopping centers could move me.  Before I attended the ever crazy Black Friday sales I prepared by stuffing myself full of turkey, ham, and about 3 pieces of my mom’s delicious pumpkin pie.  With a food baby in tow, I made my way to Wal-Mart.  I really enjoyed having people crowed me twenty minutes before eight.  I mean who doesn’t like being pushed and shoved, having people crowd surf above your head, or even steal precious items from your hands.  I was extremely tempted to yell out “May the odds be ever in you favor” or even “Let the games begin.”  I am sure I would have received a few knowing giggles.  At the end of the day, or should I say morning, my body was sore and my credit card was limp.  I did not buy everything I wanted, but I did get the important items.

The rest of my break consisted of me testing out my brand new, and I must add FREE, Droid Razor and being a couch potato.  While I was perfecting my potato skills I added something new to my ever growing list of addictions.  I am now an addict to the ever popular HBO hit TV show True Blood.  I cannot help but to laugh along with Sookie when she learns that the new vampire in town is name Bill or be shocked when Rene turns out to be the murderer.  I could not take my eyes off the screen and I ended up watching all of season one.

  I did though attempt to rise from my stupor and go out with friends.  Unfortunately, the night ended up with me on the top of the Ferdinand fire tower with legs shaking like a big bowl of jelly.  I am not very fond of heights and I am still not quite sure how they convinced me to climb the 158 steps to the top.  I am even more confused how they got me down the stairs, since I had to look at the ground for each step.

With break finally open, I dragged myself back up to campus and decorated my room.  My room may not look like a winter wonder land, but with Christmas lights hanging from the walls and sticky snowflake, snowmen, and reindeer scattered throughout the room it sure comes close.  Beth even brought back a countdown chain so we can keep track of how many days till Christmas.

10 more days till St. Nick comes

20 more days till the end of the semester

30 more days till Santa comes
