Thanksgiving

It has been about 3 weeks since I last wrote this blog so again I am apologising for a lack of commitment. So I am hoping that this little section will redeem me, but even if it doesn’t I’ll be honest and say that I probably won’t loose much sleep on it, after all I will be home in a little over 3 weeks so we can all sit down and talk about it then.

So now it’s the informational part filling you all in on the events that have taken place over the last little while. My tray of malteser squares have been devoured completely all except a few crumbs on the base of the tray. There is a huge dent in my chocolate stash but I think there is still enough to see me through to the end. And finally, Phillipe, our pet mouse!! I never ever seen him or heard him so I’m guessing that he left my room and moved onto greener pastures. But, Chris heard a noise one evening, a mouse was stuck in his trap and screaming his little lungs out in desperation to escape, well to be fair I would be too. But he never got free, Chris broke the little guys neck and tossed it in the bin. Goodnight Mr Mousey.

So enough about that, it time for thanksgiving, Chris and I were invited to spend the break at our friend Danielle’s house and to share our first thanksgiving experience with her family. It was awesome, a really fun time had by all. We played a massive amount of Dutch Blitz, a card game invented by the Dutch Amish in the . . . well a long time ago. Have any of you ever played it? I know mum, dad and my family have we may even own the game. But anyway, the point of it was; that it was fun. We also just hung out with the family and had fun sharing stories about one another and we watched a colossal amount of movies. We went shopping on Saturday, longest day ever but I got all my families Christmas presents sorted for 50% off in the after turkey day sales ☺
And last, but not least we had GOOD food, I mean, awesome turkey. The potatoes and yams were ok but I was just interested in the deep fried turkey and freshly roasted turkey and the stuffing. Was so good, especially eating canteen food all semester, it was nothing short of bliss ☺ It made me really look forward to Mrs A’s immense Christmas dinner when I arrive back on the better side of the pond ☺

Also, I got my camera back from Sony, its working like a treat, its pretty much brand new again and I didn’t have to spend one cent ☺ so I think I’ll wait until I get home to show you all my photos as I cant be bothered uploading them now haha. There are probably like 400 or so, so please understand. Thanks, I knew you would.

So three weeks left of Moody, I cant believe it, its flown in so fast and I feel like I have been away for an age, but it has been great, I would recommend this sort of experience to anyone, well worth it.
