Papers, Football and Turkey: The Recap

After reading many of my friends blog posts, I thought that maybe it was time for me to post - it has been a while. The reason - what else - work, work, work. Always too busy for the little things that bring me joy - maybe that's why I have been down lately. Anyways, here's a recap:

Week before Thanksgiving = week from hell (literally) -

I had three papers due that week, two of the 15 pagers - that's right - and I got them all done. It was a miracle. But my time at school is topped off by the idiotic posting of flyers with images of the Prophet (S) with a severed head in one hand and a bloody sword in another saying, "Mohammed says: Don't mess with Ahmadinejad's nukes." But more on that in a later post - my emotions and thoughts on that will take up too much space here. Then it was off to the Harvard-Yale football game. I went Friday night, where I stayed over at a Yale alumnus' apartment. Then we all went to the HIS social; the theme was "Red, with a little bit of Blue." I will not comment too much (see previous post hullabaloo to understand), but I had fun and I got to see friends and hang out after a long week. We all went out to dinner at Uno's, where we discussed various issues of no importance - I was definitely in no mood to be deep. Then Saturday - the game - which Yale one - first in 5 years! It was a nice way to end the week.

Break - week of Thanksgiving -

I went home to Michigan on Sunday; my friend A. came to Michigan with me too. It was a lot of fun and it was very relaxing - though I didn't do half the work I wanted to get done unfortunately. I never get my work done - but that's ok. Cooking was fun - Thanksgiving is traditionally the holiday that my sister and I take over the kitchen. I was thankful to be home with my family and happy that nothing went wrong and that life was peaceful (I haven't had that at home in a very long time). I had a lot of time to reflect and rest to prepare me for the three very long weeks ahead. The tournament, MSA events, papers and finals - it makes my head spin just thinking about it all....

So here I am, procrastinating when I should be working (as is the usual situation when I post), typing this blog entry. I never have anything particularly deep to say in these entries (they are supposed to be cathartic for me; hopefully entertaining for you) - only that if you are feeling down right now and alone and stressed, just remember me and know that there are tons of college students feeling just like you and they can totally relate. I know that a few of my friends are going to have one of the most hectic weeks of their college careers coming up - just like me - and I want them to know that I am there for them and if they need me, they can most definitely count on me - even in my most hectic week. It always helps me to remember that I am not the only one....

Thank God I am alive and well, in a good place, and that I have family and friends that love me and that I can count on - I only hope that I am as kind, loving, and strong as they are.

With that, I am off to work....
