bowdoin

waking up at 10am on november 25th, i feel a bit like frodo waking up in rivendell... only i haven't been stabbed recently. i feel like i've slept about 10 years, which is a wonderful feeling. did you know that aragorn and arwen are related??? according to the article on arwen on my favorite wikipedia, aragorn's ancestor elros was elrond's brother... wonderful. john - if you're reading this, i guess i wasn't so wrong about the incestuous elves... oh anywho, i still love lord of the rings. i have no idea how this little bit started...such are brains made of swiss cheese...

all things considered, i had a wonderful thanksgiving. i was really sad that i couldn't be with papa or little juliska (i don't know what i call my own sister - i'd call her noonie, but that's not really nice to do online, and i'd call her julianna, but i don't do that in life...so hmm... time to start calling her fozzie the muppet or something) but being with friends was wonderful as well. i was a bit sad that none of the shelters wanted me - i told them i could do the dishes and all that, or whatever they wanted... oh dishwashing liquid... we had so much fun w/emily and her parents though. i got some wonderful suggestions from carl, brandy, honora, emily, etc. about books to read after anna. i'm so excited for winter break... lots of non-required reading.

this is sort of funny, and now that i know that ivan reads this (oy vey... should i check for spelling now that nerdly uchicago kids are reading this???) i should tell it... i have a tendency to fall asleep on thanksgiving. last year it was on ivan's roommates bed (sorry, again and again) but that had more to do with traveling at 6 am and then helping to cook all day. this year i don't know what it was. we all had a wonderful dinner, sat down on the couch to watch alice's restaurant (weeird) and i was out. why do i always miss the fun things in life? :P

aah well, friday at bowdoin with no one around. time to work (i can't concentrate, this is really bad) and hopefully see harry potter with ivy tonight. i miss my friends immensely, but i was so happy that utz and maya called. my day ended after talking with mr hannu/janos/janne. a wonderful way to end a wonderful day. THE END.
