Sorry, dear audience, for my absence of late. I’m currently trying to get as much relaxation out of my thanksgiving break as possible, which means sleeping and reading books. And not blogging since I don’t have all that much at hand to write about.

I was looking forward to this vacation quite a bit a few weeks ago until I heard from the college counselling office that “the bulk of [your] essay writing will be done over thanksgiving break.” I have two general purpose essays written right now, but many of the schools I’m applying to ask for more specific essays. The creative prompts I appreciate (UChicago, looking at you), but some are a little bit boring. I hope this means I have finished the “bulk of my essay writing” but I haven’t in fact mustered up the courage to check across my entire list all at once. So far my task doesn’t look too bad, but we will see…

I have to get up very early tomorrow morning to drive to see relatives 10 hours away-it will be good to see them for thanksgiving, especially since we are bringing our dog, but I just wish everyone else wasn’t trying to visit their relatives the same day so as to create such large amounts of evil traffic.

Have a nice thanksgiving, everyone! Visit Plymouth plantation if you’re in the Boston area, it’s lots of fun.
