After a difficult week of papers, I'm finally free for Thanksgiving Break! I'll be heading home tonight on the train to Manhattan. Sometimes it's really nice to live just an hour and a half away from Vassar—some of my friends have to suffer through hours on busses and planes to get their turkey. But I just hop onto the free College train shuttle, spend an hour on MetroNorth, and I'm happily in Grand Central in no time.
Usually, I like to spend my train rides staring out my window at the scenic Hudson River. This afternoon, though, I won't be quite so lucky; I have about 450 pages of reading to do before Monday :-( Not to mention the four research papers I have due in the next couple weeks. Ack! Finals period can be really stressful, since everyone's major assignments are all due at the same time. It tends to put a crimp in Thanksgiving.
On the bright side, though, I will soon be with my parents, eating my favorite stuffing and sipping some apple cider! At least I'll have a couple hours free from schoolwork...

Wow, your train ride from Poughkeepsie to Manhattan sounds extremely fascinating. I like to look out the windows, too!
Your Web site looks really nice. Except it'd be better if your header were maroon, instead of white. And if the seal were enlarged and zoomed into a crescent-like shape.
Also, I think I'm going to come visit Vassar soon. Except not tomorrow. I have extremely exciting plans for tomorrow. These plans involve shrimp. It is possible that I am shrimp's No. 1 fan. You know what's a cool word? "Shrimp."
Oh no! My computer battery is on "reserve power." I hate it when that happens——I always get nervous. Excuse me whilst I sprint to the nearest outlet.
I hope you have having a pleasant eve of an even pleasanter evening. :-)
