I had a wonderful first-holiday-away-from-home, enjoying the wonders of extended family this Thanksgiving season. Favorite tidbits were getting ALL the visting-with-grandparents time to myself, finally going to a Bed, Bath and Beyond, sleeping eight hours a night, eating home-cooked and non-dining hall food, and catching up with my life-long friend Leah!
Today consisted mainly of working on my final draft for my Medill project, which is actually coming along rather nicely. I just need an interview (really, just a sentence) with the Northwestern police that I'll get Monday morning, as soon as they'll let me talk to them, and then I'll read it outloud one final time.. and then submit it to the CMS system and be done! Except for my final presentation, which is just talking and easy to get ready.
Another incredible highlight of my weekend was talking on the phone to Marina, Diana, and Vika! Ahhh.. so much fun. I miss my friends a lot.. and it's fun to realize that but a great moment was leaving campus and realizing that I missed Chrissy, Suz, and Tricia too! I used more texting this weekend than I have since I've gotten here put together, probably. :)
I'm watching the ending of Return of the King with Papa on TV right now.. and remembering being obsessed four years ago.. I still know it by heart, though. Fun times..
"My friend.. you bow to no one!"
"And thus it was that the fourth age of Middle Earth began.. and the fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love.. was ended. Thirteen months to the day since Gandalf sent us on our long journey, we found oursevles looking upon a familiar place.. we were home."
You know a story is a real classic when you find parallels to it in your life no matter when, where, or who you are.
