Thanksgiving Break - Blog 11

Well, now that thanksgiving break is pretty much over, I feel justified in looking back at it and wishing I hadn't squandered so much time. Unfortunately, it's much easier to wish you had forced your past self into doing more homework than actually forcing your present self into such a course.

I think this picture pretty adequately expresses my feelings towards doing homework over holidays. Even though I really didn't have that much, I still feel as if I should've been at least studying a little more chemistry for the upcoming test which I don't feel 100% secure on the material.

Oh well. At least I was able to spend a lot of time with my extended relatives as well as my siblings. I had a delicious meal over at my aunt's house and definitely noticed for the first time the power of turkey in compelling one to sleep.

The dorms were a spitting image of the ghost town pictured above. Kind of peaceful. But mostly boring.
