TG break!

Well, it's that time of year in Kalamazoo again. That time of year when I start to wonder: What the fuck is up with all the CROWS?

Also, it's not even Christmas, and I already can't even stand the SNOW, THE BLOWING, AND THE FREEZING COLD OMG.

Me: I wonder what we're doing in Clinical Communications tomorrow...
My conscience: You're giving a presentation.
Me: Oh yeah! ..... Fuck.

Haha, I love the dumb faces the best. ;)

Well it was Thanksgiving!! And now it's gone. :( I finished up with school last Tuesday and drove my butt to GR to get my brother Chris and take him home with me. I hadn't seen my family since I moved to school in August!! I was SO SO happy to see Mom and Dad. Oh man.

Chris (while pulling into the driveway): Mom-gasm in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Colby peed ALL OVER ME. Dad made horrible sound effects and really bad jokes. Chris dropped more F-bombs than I have EVER heard in my life. Kristen sucked bad at Mariokart (haha, but I still love her). And Mom made delicious cookies, gave me mittens she knitted which were supposed to be for someone else, and cried when she hugged me. Good, wholesome family stuff. Unfortunately I had a mountain of homework to work on, so it wasn't as relaxing a holiday break as I would have liked, but only two and a half weeks to go until hell is over!! After that, only one and a half years to go!! I round down, so I'll just start saying one year. That sounds better.

We played lots of mariokart, ate a ton of food and Christmas cookies we weren't supposed to touch (no Kristen, I did NOT eat that buckeye >_<), and engaged in lots of mindless shopping! :D On Friday night Mike came over for opening night at Crossroads, and we got to see the giant tree lit and fireworks! We also rode the train with Mom and Kristen and got a picture taken with a real reindeer! We rode on my beloved carousel and I got to see all my old co-workers! :D It was so fun. The sibs and I also got to eat at our favorite Chinese place (where the owner knows exactly what I want without asking), and I took Mike to Bronner's in Frankenmuth for the first time ever! Oh man! So many Christmas trees. :) I also got to show off my engagement ring to my parents for the very first time!! It was so awesome, and I felt all warm and glowy inside. With all the stress of school and being away from Mike, sometimes I forget we're getting married. :D

So... yeah I've got a lot of schoolwork to do now, but that was my splendid Thanksgiving break. Hopefully I can hold my breath long enough to make it through finals. O_o
