November almost come and gone....

This month has seem to fly by for me mostly because I have had little time to do much of anything besides homework and work. Lets just say that taking 24 credits was not one of my brightest ideas! Many people who find this out think I am some kind of nut job, then they find out im working and commuting on top of it and they ask how I am still alive. On a side note I have a friend who is taking 36 credits and basically lives at Starbucks, so compared to him I am normal!
.
This last week has been one of the craziest of them all. Now that the term is coming to an end all of my term papers, research papers, assignments, quizes and tests are all due at the same time! Just this last week I busted out both a 10 page and 20 page research papers in 2 days!
But the AMAZING NEWS!!! My graduation application has been officially accepted and I have registered for my last semester of classes (another exciting 21 credits) and I will graduate on May 5th next year! Needless to say I am STOKED! And in all honesty thats the only think keeping me going during these last two horrible semesters! I just want to be done!
.
A funny thing happens when I get really stressed....I get a perma twitch in my left eye! Loads of fun....it drives me bonkers and random people think im winking at them!
Another cool thing that happened the beging of November...My bro came home from his mission in Rochester, New York!
Its been fun having him back. Since he has been back he has spent a considerable amount of time and our house, cleaning off any leftover dinner we might have! Also now that I spend an annoying amount of time on the computer doing homework, he and Landon spend quality bonding time on the couch....
 playing halo. I get the joy listening to them kill people as I try to come up with new ways to feed the hungry in Africa!
.
Landon and I are continuing to look for a house, it is becoming very tedious and adds even more stress to my life. Some days I think we will never find a house and we will be doomed to live in apartments forever. We get the joy of moving next week also to another apartment that will let us go month to month until we find a house so we dont have to resign another year lease where we are at.

This last saturday after my crap homework week I decided to throw a early Thanksgiving dinner party! Landon and I will be on vacation over Thanksgiving with my family and we wont be able to have a traditional Thanksgiving. So I decided to have one with some friends of ours and it was so much fun having them over for good food and fun! It was my first time ever making a turkey and I was horrified of ruining it. But amazingly it turned out perfect and moist and better than expected for my first time!

 Everything turned out so wonderful! I was exhausted from spending all day cooking in the kitchen, but it was so much fun and something I hope to continue for years to come!
.
I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving! After the break I only have two  more weeks of class! After that I can start enjoying winter and hopefully go snowboarding and enjoy Christmas before next semester starts!
