Thanksgiving was not as bad as I thought it would be. It wasn't awesome or anything, but I didn't hate it. Their family is just not a substitution for my family. I just need to make it my own somehow.
Nate and I had a nice extended weekend together. We came back to the city Thursday night, and I went to my internship on Friday, where I got let go early because there was nothing to do. Saturday I managed to drag Nate to do some shopping in the afternoon... which he would only do on the condition that I go to a jewelry store with him.
Can we just talk about how weird it was to go into jewelry stores at first? At first. Here's the thing. I'm not the kind of girl who goes into jewelry stores. I'm not the flashy type, first of all. My standard issue jewelry is a claddagh on my middle finger. Occasionally I wear the small diamond my grandparents gave me. I wouldn't buy something like that by myself, at least not until I become somewhat successful (knock on wood). So going with Nate was extremely awkward at first. I mean, we've talked engagements, but I told him definitely not before we have a year together, and not before I get on my feet. I wasn't sure exactly what occasion I should be shopping for, so I started looking at rings I might like for Christmas. By the end of the day I ended up trying on, and really liking, something similar to this:

Annndddd.... I think I might be getting it for Christmas. But we'll see.
(squee!)
Two weeks of classes! One week of finals! I'm ready to rock this shit.
