I figured I should probably post about Thanksgiving break. I left here Tuesday at 3:30pm and what should have been just over a two hour drive turned into a four hour drive thanks to rain and traffic. That Wednesday was my relax and do absolutely nothing because its break day. All I remember from Wednesday is going to my sister's neighbors house and playing Taboo for a few hours. On Thursday I got up and Cathy and Jacqueline (William was at his dad's place in Atlanta) were watching the parade. They were watching it on CBS and thier coverage was terrible. So finally with only about an hour left of the parade I told Cathy to check NBC (station we normally watch the parade on which she wasn't this year because she thought only CBS was showing it this year) and when she did there was the parade. Cathy was upset because that meant she had wasted most of the parade watching CBS's coverage instead of NBC. About an hour and half after the parade we had our Thanksgiving Dinner or Thanksgiving Lunch as I called it since we were eating at 1:30pm. Surprisingly she didn't ruin the dinner which was something all of us were half expecting. We had a turkey, rolls, candied yams, Waldorf salad, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and one other thing that I am forgetting. The rest of Thanksgiving Day was fairly uneventful. Friday Cathy , Jacqueline and I went and picked out a Christmas tree. That night Tim wanted me to meet him and some of his friends down town at a bar but I wasn't able to go so he invited me over for Saturday. So on Saturday I pretty much relaxed watching the FSU-UF game and then around 6:45pm I headed for Tim's place. I got there a little before 7:30pm and finished watching Nacho Libre with them. From there we made a beer run and came back and set things up waiting for other people to get here. Over this time I drank two beers, normal beers too (Bud Lights) which anyone who knows me knows I don't like those kinds of beers. But I hadn't had anything in a little while so I drank them anyway. At that point still no one had come so me, Tim and his friend Brian went outside and put Christmas lights on three of his trees outside. By this time it was almost 9:30pm and Tim and Brian were getting impatient so we went into the garage where they had a beer pong table set up and I watched them play beer pong while waiting on the others. Brain, I guess was bothered by me just sitting there watching them, went over to the cooler and got me a third beer. I drank it but towards the end I was forcing it down as I had finally lost complete taste for it. No, I didn't play beer pong for two reasons, one I had to drive home and two because I knew I couldn't have forced down another beer if I tried and that's all they had. By 10pm other people finally started arriving and so they started playing 10 cup team beer pong. I must say not many of them were very good at the game. From then on (at least until I left) people kept arriving. For the rest of the night I just watched them play beer pong and talked with a couple of the other people there most of whom I didn't know. Finally around 1:00am I decided I better get going since I had to leave for school the next day. Overall I had a good time, it would have been better if there had been better stuff to drink than regular beer and I wouldn't have minded being able to try and kick their ass at beer pong. Oh well though, there is always next time.
I arrived back on Campus Sunday just in time to make it to work. Then Monday marked the start of the final week of classes. Its been a somewhat hectic week for me this week as I have had to do a take home synoptic test and I also have a presentation to do in Thermo tomorrow. Then its time for Exams, which will probably suck but at least its the end of the semester. Only one more left.
