Brain. Hurts.

Why is it that school will work you until you want to die? My brain is on it's way to exhaustion. I can feel it coming. It's that familiar feeling that I hate. Thanksgiving Break was fine and dandy, but it's just the calm before the storm (of finals). Thanksgiving Break is just a teaser for Winter Break. They're just saying "Oooh, look how fun no-school is! Go ahead and relax"and then BAM! Back to school. Back to hell. Even worse? Finals, too. What a vicious cycle. My brain hates me. I let it turn to mush and then I put it into overdrive, with no warning, way too many times outta the year. I'm sorry, brain =(

Anywhosies, I hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable. Mine sure was. I think it was actually the best Thanksgiving I have ever had. The food was way better than previous years . . . maybe because I assisted in the cooking of more than half of the dishes? Yes, that's probably why haha. My grandparents were out of town until about 7pm on Thanksgiving, so I took my grandma's place in the kitchen. I even wore her apron! It was a big deal for me haha it was like playing house, but with real food!

I'd love suggestions on a blog topic so suggest away =)

Get me off this roller coaster,

And yes, we do have traditional Thanksgiving foods on Thanksgiving. Jeez, I hate that question.

Sweet Pea & Lavender

I'm getting good at this whole "being a girl" thing. I just got out of a bubble bath; I was reading Glamour and listening to semi-girlie music. I'm not even kidding. It sounds so weird and movie-esque of anybody to be doing, but this literally just happened. I highly recommend you try this, even if you're a guy. I had time to just relax and not think about all the shit that has been going on lately (shit happening=why I haven't really been blogging lately). Nothing existed, except for me, my magazine, and my music. The world just fell away. I don't want to sound crazy, but it's the truth.

What else did I do today . . . ? Hmm. Woke up to my sister forcing me to do her online-calculus homework, took a late shower, had lunch, did some homework, watched the Nuggets game on TV with my papa [he gave me a surprise visit :)], took the above-mentioned bubble bath, and here I am. Great day, before an expectedly horrible week.

Back to reality,
