It's funny how time goes by so quickly when things start coming to a close. I find that even though I miss home, as the end of the semester draws ever closer, there are more and more things that make me want to stay. But the reality of it all is that I have to come home to finish my last semester of undergrad, and then I'll be shoved into the real world.
It's Thanksgiving break and nearly everyone has deserted the campus, with the exception of me and a few others who have to work as well. The fact that I don't get to be home with my parents and Joel and Tori for Thanksgiving this year is weighing a little heavy on me, but at least I still get to spend it with some of my family.
So here's an I'm thankful post:
I'm thankful for everyone that supports me and all my crazy ideas.
I'm thankful for my friends back home who haven't forgotten that I miss them, and remember to take some time out of their day to talk to me.
I'm thankful for the amazing friends that I've made since I've been here.
I'm thankful for the wonderful opportunities I've been given to advance in my studies and the experience that I've obtained.
Yup, I'm pretty thankful.

It's November
So, while I wish I have been updating more frequently, I've justified this lack of consistency with the fact that I'm in school, not on vacation. With the amount of things that I've been participating in over here, sometimes I feel like I am, indeed, on vacation. That is, until I realize that I have a billion projects due. Well... three.
Two weekend ago I went to Los Angeles. My Uncle Matt took me and my cousin to the "Haunted Horror Studio" at Universal. It was pretty cool. I don't handle scary very well though, so I was extremely anxious about the whole experience. Luckily, I survived with only one brief, yet unwanted, run-in with the freakiest looking zombie-clown I have ever seen in my life.
Moving on!
Because CSUMB is a school based on projects and portfolios, I only have two midterms. One was a paper for my history class, which I've already turned in, and the other is my midterm for Sign Language. It's really refreshing not to have to worry about tests every three weeks for once in my college career, but at the same time, I miss studying in Thomas Cooper. I miss math and science classes (as I'm only taking electives and a history course this semester).
It's been rather gloomy here, and I can feel my levels of Vitamin D waning. That being said, it is November. Which means gloomy is bound to happen. But on a slightly happier note, it's November! I come home in two months!
