So, maybe I had a fairytale idea of thanksgiving break being this amazing thing. Maybe I should not expect so much. *sigh* Ok, so, 1st of all I haven't had much quality time with my mom because she's basically working to keep me in school. I haven't had quality "sit and chat" time with my friend Misty because she is constantly busy, so the time I have spent with her was running around to different places with ppl I don't know and feeling awkward. We are combining our Thanksgiving dinner with our neighbors, which ultimately means alot of whining spoiled kids and irritated parents, or simply put uncomfotable buffet dining + a prayer interlude. I'm bummed because I came home for family/friend time finding only racy, crazy moments of conversation and overall feeling more alone than I did before I got here. Other than my brother whom I love dearly for being the laid back guy he is. Ultimately I'll probably spend a majority of my time playing video games with him. lol I don't know. It seems every time I go home I'm reminded why I left. Is that bad? I mean a part of me is glad to see them, but a part of me feels so detached from this small town. I'm so confused. I guess I'll just have to pray and be patient. Wish me luck and I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! G-nite.

So, this is my weekend. Friday, I had classes, typical, and later that night had to watch Hotel Rwanda for class. It is a very well created film that made me very depressed, not only for what happened, but for events such as in Sudan that are not helped as well. Went to what I thought would be a fun Halloween party to cheer me up. WRONG. It was a bunch on freshman college students stuck in an immature high school mindset getting wasted. We left. However, time getting there was an hour, as well as back. Anyway, the positives. During the drive the stars outside were AMAZING, especially since where I live you cannot see them. They were so brilliant I looked in awe. We went to Wendy's and grabbed a bit of late night grub and met some drunk Vanderbilt guys. Britt and I went to the gas station across the street from campus to rent a movie to reconcile the evening and had some guys who were high talk to us and ask us if we wanted weed. Luckily they did this across the parking lot, got bored, and left. :) We rented elf and I was so tired by that point I went to bed. Saturday, I had to get up early to leave to watch SETC for musical theatre at 7:15am. Spent the whole day there so I could support all who auditioned and went to lunch with Gabe and Paige at Pizza Hut. *nummy* Oh and in his car we listened to the Goofy Movie soundtrack! It was priceless. We went to Gabe's so he could grab a few things, went back to campus, and I went with some friends to see Fall Follies, our annual comedy show that pokes fun at Belmont. I'll have to buy a DVD to show my friends. I had only at Pizza Hut all day, so my roommate and I went to Harris Teeter to buy grub, but it was 11:05 and they close at 11. So, we went to the gas station and bought icecream and hot pockets. I also got a large cherry ICEE. We went back to the room and I attempted to watch Elf again and failed again due to fatigue. Sunday, I got up and realized I had stuff I had to get immediately. Got dressed quick and headed to AmSouth. Found out I had alot less money than I should. Went to Walmart where I only had funds to purchase the most essential of products in store brand form. On the way back my mapquest directions fell to the floor on the otherside of my car. I had to pull to the side of the highway and even with the directions I got lost because Mapquest is worthless. I went to a church to get directions (seemed most reasonable, church=direction:) ) and got back with fifteen minuted to get ready for church. *sigh* Got ready and went to this awesome church that I will probably attend full time now. Came back and ate a horrible brunch at the cafeteria. Went to an hour and a half required Classical voice recital. Ran to my dorm and drank some hot cider as I threw on my Halloween attire. Drove to the zoo to volunteer from 4:30 to 9:00pm and helped children decorate pumpkins. All the kids were so cute and other than the extreme freezing nature of the outdoors their smiles kept me warm. We left and went to Noah's for a while and got bored and went back to the room where I slept. So, that is all. I must go now because I have a serious paper to write and I thought this might help me clear my head. TTYL and Happy 1st Day of November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
