for only the second time in my life i'm in texas. who knew right? the first was a business trip, back in the days when i was in the real world, working and such.. craziness. now i'm here with jen at her mom's for thanksgiving. we helped out with moving things around and cleaning because the house is being renovated, and its looking pretty good. but man, we went to super walmart and bought a whole bunch of food for tomorrow... um, black food for thanksgiving? YES PLEASE!!! we just had fried chicken and man does it make me happy.
yesterday i was kind of upset because of the general stigma of being a ba music at ocu, because in general people really don't consider me a "real music major" because i'm a BA and not a BM. it's just a degree title.. but whatever. i'm learning tons and have made plenty of good friends and if they don't really consider me a music major it's not going to kill me. i've been doing well in my studio, so i'm alright with that.
anyway, i can not WAIT to eat tomorrow.. it'll be nice to talk to my mom too (always do on holidays when i'm away) i miss her alot right about now. i know tomorrow is going to be fun, but i miss the thanksgivings we had when i was little.. with my whole family and my grandparents. now my grandrents and rents are in florida.. i'm in oklahoma/texas.. it's a mess. oh well, i guess we all grow up and things change. now holidays are really scattered. christmas is going to be really different as well. my first christmas in florida.. every christmas for the past 21 years i've had in snowy massachusetts. i can't wait to be with my mom though... i also get to meet the rest of joe's family.
i should get to bed soon. i'm a little sleepy and i'm sure we'll be up early tomorrow to make food.
i hope you all have a great thanksgiving :)
