Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go ...
Tomorrow night, I will be home for Thanksgiving break, readers!!!
I've got to tell you: I'm pumped. I haven't REALLY been home since Columbus Day weekend, which pretty much feels like a decade ago. I went home for the day this past Friday, though, so I guess that counts for something. It was actually a really fantastic day. As you may know, I am graduating in a few weeks and therefore will be moving permanently back to Boston. Two of my dear friends from Long Island, Meagan and Christina, wanted to spend some time with me before I left (and I felt the same about them) so they came home with me on Friday morning and had breakfast at my house with me and my mum. Then, I took them to my grandma's house and they got the full tour. Her house is from the 1700's and she has about a million antiques. It's a really cool house and kind of has the feel of a museum, albeit a lived-in museum. If you've ever been to the Wayside Inn (a favorite place for Grandma to take us to dinner), her house kind of feels like that. After the tour and a sampling of her homemade applesauce, I drove them into Boston and we walked around Newbury Street and then the North End and Faneuil Hall. They LOVED it! I was so happy that I got to share all of my favorite things about being home with two of my close friends from school. The only downside was the bitter cold wind that decided to blow all day. Other than that, though, it was a success. We even got to stop by Nana and Papa's house on the way back to school that night. The only thing missing from the day was Floyd. :( I was hoping that my mum had him for the day but he was at his dad's house. It's okay, though, because I'll probably get to hang out with him the whole time that I'm home! I'm sure that he's as excited about going for walks and playing with the stuffed hedgehog as I am.
So my Thanksgiving break should be awesome. We're doing dinner at my house, this time around, because my Aunty Pat is going on vacation and she usually does holidays. Therefore, my mom and Jody have taken over cooking duties. I've offered my help, but I don't know if they'll want it judging by my kitchen track record. It's fine. I'll be too busy playing with Floyd the Basset Hound anyway. Also, my dear Carolyn plans on having a big Natick get-together at her apartment on Friday night! It's going to be so wonderful to see everyone in one place. And I'm hoping to see my work friends while I'm home, too. On Saturday night, I'm going to see "Slumdog Millionaire" (which looks like a really great movie) with some friends who are not in my home friends group but whom I really miss, chief among them Teresa. As I said, this break is gong to be great. Minus the homework I have to do.
By the way, I have MAJOR senioritis. Don't let this happen to you! I only have about three weeks left of school, which is really bumming me out, and I think I subconcsiously want to fail my classes so that I have to stay. DEFINITELY don't let this happen to you, haha. I'll make it through, though, guys. Don't you worry about me. The Dean's List? We'll see. But I'll definitely graduate.
In the wise words of Porky Pig, that's all, folks. Have a really wonderful holiday.

Peace on earth.
And in the eternally wise words of John Winston Ono Lennon: "Every day, in every way, it's getting better and better."
