Hello blog readers!
This weekend was fun; unfortunately fun tends to be unproductive.
Got a lovely care package from G&G! Awesome tuque (what they call the warm winter hats here), merci beaucoup. Also, the Utah chocolate and other goodies were much appreciated. I feel so spoiled, I think the place where I pick up packages knows my face by now.
Had my last full day of French class this Thursday, have an oral exam this coming Thursday, and turn in my play. Next week I have the French final and then I'm through with my semester.
Friday, I met with my group for playwriting and got a little bit done, had dinner with Graham in China Town, and saw a one man theatre piece based on the same story that Tom Hanks film, The Terminal, is based on.
Last night our house hosted American Thanksgiving as an excuse to pig out. G&G - we used that red white a blue USA scarf as a banner. Among other things there was turkey, taters, mussels, risotto, quiche, and lots of desert. Because our place is so small we opened up the divide between Tim's room and mine. I didn't think we'd be able to fit that many people but it totally worked with all Tim's floor pillows. Plus it made for a fairly intimate gathering because we were all sort of forced to lounge around and talk. It was very special for me. I was happy to say how thankful I was to have a good portion of the people I made friends with here all in one room.
This evening we had dinner at Tim's moms house. DELICIOUS pasta with mushrooms and tomatoes. Tiramisu for desert. YUM. We were entertained by his little cousin Tina who drew pictures of everyone and sang for us. Haven't been around kids in a while, or in a car so that was nice being in the suburbs for a bit.
Well, I'm very sleepy so I'll be signing off now. Apparently it's supposed to snow tonight! This November really hasn't been bad. Mostly sunny, cold, a little bit of rain. But I want my white christmas.
