Satanic Pies

I had a wonderful break. I love Thanksgiving, there is just something about the whole process that is magical. Though cleaning and cooking is not really my thing, doing it with my mother and my friend Jie at 5:00 on a Wednesday evening and knowing I did not have class the next day was nice. As per usual, we got a little quirky in the kitchen and ended up with a Christmas-decorated cherry pie and a satanic apple pie. They turned out pretty well (and by that I mean pretty ugly but very good tasting).

While at home I saw “Across the Universe” with some of my friends. It was amazing! The basic plot was pretty mundane, but add the Beatles music and guest appearances by Eddie Izzard, Bono, and other celebrities, plus the amazingly trippy computer animation stuff…it was amazing.
And now we are back at school. There are only a few weeks till finals, but those weeks are going to last a lifetime. It was the same last year. You get lulled into a false sense of security between fall and thanksgiving break, don’t have too many major things to do, and then BAM! (To be said in one breath) You get back from thanksgiving and it all descend upon you in a black whirlwind of papers, power points, tests, quizzes, tears, caffeine, midnight pizza runs, and lots of work .

Time for me go and finish a lab write up, then study for an organic chemistry test, then do physics homework, then…
