So an update...
5 days later and we might as well have an update. Why not. (Also, I have another 67 minutes at the computer lab and homework is just not looking too appealing right now).
The formal was incredibly fun. I will post up pictures of the dress and pictures with friends later. I looked fantastic, if I may say so myself. It was a smallish crowd - about 50/60 students but the benefit was that 40 of them wished me happy birthday because they either knew me or their friends knew me. The DJ played Happy Birthday and I stood on a chair. There was awesome mac'n'cheese, chicken fingers, pierogies, ziti, green beans, bread and more. We danced the night away and it was just...a great time.
On Saturday, I didn't do all that much. I had brunch. I slept. I really did nothing. Saturday night was Jekyll and Hyde and I was so excited to go cheer on my Masque-ies. It was professionally done and the first time I've heard the score all the way through so I was definitely pleasantly surprised.
Sunday was a rainy blechy day. However, a bright spot was that we had a Tanzanian Thanksgiving Dinner (American Thanksgiving food with the Tanzanian crew). It was at the apartment of two people who went last year and there was good food and good company. I get more and more excited for this trip daily.
This week will be rough but after tomorrow it should ease up a bit. I've got alot of work that I need to get done because I don't want to be working all my Thanksgiving break. I believe that I will have written 62 pages by the end of the semester and I've already started to keep count (it's up to 10). On Friday I hope to go the Philadelphia Opera for their version of Cinderella in a 50s/Pop Art style. On Saturday I have stuff for Circle K and that night I think I'm going to crack down and hopefully get some stuff out of the way. Only a week till Thanksgiving break!
In the birthday present/care package that Mom and Dad sent they've included this book called Nine Hills to Nambonkaha which is pretty awesome. Yesterday afternoon I was on page 17. Today I'm on page 149. It's a quick read and something that's really appealing as it's the travel memoir of a young women who lived in an African village for two years of her Peace Corps service. I probably have many other things I should be doing than reading this book but it is so hard to put down!
Well...we're down to 59 minutes and I guess I should work on my Persuasion assignment. Ugh.
