After much preparation, Thanksgiving has came and gone. I cleaned my house for more than a week for this one special day, knowing that 25 people were going to come and totally destroy it again. It's kind of defeating to work so hard for little appreciation, but oh well. I did enjoy myself with my family, as we are such a close knit bunch. Having so much fun with them will make piecing things back together not so bad.

Things between my S/O and I have been super. It is so amazing to know that one person can make another person so complete and fulfilled. It is also funny how we are able to learn so much about ourselves through other people. I promised that I would gloat over it so much though. I know how much I talk about it already. I am sure that it can be annoying.

Reflecting on my college career, I am so disappointed. It has been such a joke. Who would believe that you can make it through college with out doing this little? I don't study, I don't read, and I barely take notes, yet I have maintained a mid-three average and am in two honor societies. Things tend to come naturally to me, which is a blessing and a curse combined. While I retain information and can acquire knowledge easily, I have never had to develop a strong work ethic. I am not easily defeated though. I now know that anything worth getting is worth working for (yes Josh, you taught me that). Watch for a rising star in the world of academia!
