Turkey weekend

Not much new in this sort of interesting life I live, yet I love.

The venture back home to my parents house for Thanksgiving weekend took close to 6 hours, when it is normally a 2 hour drive (I got a ride to Burlington, waited over an hour, took a 2-hour GO train ride home). I arrived home at about 6:45pm, ate soup for literally 2 minutes and then took off momentarily to get to Peterborough for a dinner I have with my high school friends every year. This is the 7th year of this tradition and this was the first year we didn't have a potluck. It's also the first time we're not teenagers... we're just a bunch of people in our 20's now, ahhhh. We went to Swiss Chalet this time, which was much easier for the parents/hosts (no cleanup, no turkey to cook). I felt high on life all weekend - being reunited with people you care about is such an unreal feeling. We went to Champ's that night, which is pretty much a small-town sports pub - always a good time. I have this one ginger friend who is known to be wild, always overdrinks and always gets kicked out of bars, haha. She got asked to leave, obviously.

Sunday we celebrated Thanksgiving with the family and we had roast beef, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, garlic bread, garden salad, a mango salad and a Boston creme cake with strawberries, kiwi and peaches for my dad's birthday. I bought him a $60 gift card to Tim Hortons because he literally goes there EVERYDAY. It was also my roommate's birthday yesterday and we got her a gift certificate to Aritzia and lots of candy (which she ate all in one night).

Ok that might've been the most boring post I've made yet. Now I'm back in London, getting ready for my one week of hell this semester. On Monday, I have a debate in Poli Sci (the first one of the year for the entire class, presented to 100 people), Tuesday I have a finance assignment due, Thursday I have a philosophy exam and an accounting assignment, and Saturday I have a finance exam. After that, I hardly have anything. Whoooo! Time to hit the books.
