Black Friday

Happy National-Credit-Card-Debt-Exponentially-Increases-on-This-Day Day!

After 8 hours of shopping, I feel it is my solemn duty to update you on how my break is going. Actually, after 8 hours, I'm at another family thanksgiving BORED OUT OF MY MIND. So, I figured that I'd write an update and post it when I actually return to civilization from this middle of nowhere place in Western Iowa!

Regardless, I spent most of my hard earned work-study and accompaniment money today. Not smart choice # 1 of the day. Then, I proceeded to have not one, not two, but 3 Venti Caramel Macchiatos AND a Grande Mocha, which came at a close # 2 not smart choice. And, on a lighter note, my #3 was eating 12 pieces of pie...among other things. That binge is by no means reflectant of how the food at Luther is, but, nothing EVER beats a home cooked meal.

(Tangent)
If you don't appreciate them now, start appreciating them. Once you start up next year, its hello 2 meals a day of salad bar, potatoes and chicken. Ok, so that's an exaggeration, but if you get the chance ever, actually come up and eat in the Luther Caf. or any of the other fine dining services we have on campus. My personal favorite: Cream-Cheese Cinnamon Rolls from Sunnyside Cafe.

Anyways, the big thing I learned from break is that I was not near enough prepared to see all of my family. I don't mean emotionally, but mentally. I had, at minimum, 50 people ask how school was going, and I couldn't seem to break from the strict regiment of "Good, thanks" 's. Next year, stock up on any stories that you can share with your family. Whether it's the time you hit your head on the ceiling of your room, or the 210th time you hit your head on the ceiling, it doesn't matter. All they want to hear is something besides "Good, thanks."

You've been warned.

Well, I hope you all have a great remainder of whatever Thanksgiving Break is left for you.

Later!
