dream

i had this dream last night that my friend lindsay, who has also not updated her blog for a reeeeally long time, posted something new on hers and i got mad at myself because i have been thinking, "well i will at least update it before lindsay does." but when i woke up and realized that i really would be kind of mad at myself if she did it first, i knew i HAD to write SOMETHING! so here's the quick low-down:

i am alive! not to fear! i have just been running around like a crazy chicken the past month. my parents came and visited for a week, i went to the mtv europe music awards and drooled over justin timberlake with 4,000 other copenhageners, attended a halloween party that was surprisingly fun (i have this problem where holiday parties like halloween are always more fun to talk about and plan and get ready for, but when the party is actually happening, it's not really that fun...but not this year. i spent like 10 minutes finding a costume and then had a great time with lots of foreigners who were totally into the whole idea of dressing up). anyway, then my good friend jessica came to visit and we had a wonderful time and finally i had some much needed "girl talk". after that my friend squid (because he has freakishly long fingers and toes...tenticles, if you will) came for a week. so he just left sunday and now it's my nose to the grindstone. i have a paper due friday which i have been diligently working on all week and i am going to try to finish tonight so i can go out. if i don't finish it, i don't go out! that's the deal i have with myself. then i have to write another paper this weekend, prepare a presentation and study for a written final next week. whew! and then finals plus 5 days and then i'm home! yikes!

ok, well, i will write more later and fill in some of the details on the visits, but for now, it's back to work for me. and by the way, it soooo doesn't feel like thanksgiving today. it's kind of sad, and it'll probably be even sadder when i talk to my family. i wouldn't mind being home still in my pj's with my mom cooking and the macy's thanksgiving day parade in the background and my dad grumbling about putting up the tree (but secretly liking it!) and cooking and relaxing all day while mom and i look at the ads to decide where we will do some traditional after thanksgiving shopping.... :( but to be honest, i haven't really had much time to think about it. haha..anyway, happy thankgiving everyone! ok, really getting back to work this time!

ha! take that dodds!
(hoping this is motivation to get YOU to update your blog!)
