i'm sitting in rachel and ishani's room right now, listening to rent with julie and jason and sarah. i think it'll be a fun weekend. me and julie are living in sarah's friends room, and sarah is sleeping in her room with jason crashing in there i think. tomorrow we're waking up and cooking for thanksgiving!! we're having a big big big refugee thanksgiving dinner at ron jin's apartment in chicago. we're in charge of cooking the mashed potatoes and the stuffing. hooray for stovetop! but, we're mashing real potatoes, so it evens out.

so julie is staying in shep with me this weekend, and we are going to get SO MUCH work done it's crazy. i'm glad she's staying-- we can push each other to be productive and have fun at the same time!! craaaaaazy. julie is my roommate and i think she is superfly. she's also a self-proclaimed egg- white on the outside, yellow on the inside. haha. best of all, she learned the word "ddong" today and used it in a sentence. : )

alright. i'm super super tired. five hours of sleep a night for two nights in a row. oh man, i'm tired.

happy thanksgiving everyone, and God bless. this thanksgiving, i thank God for my family, my friends at Northwestern and back home, my heath, good food, and for allowing me to wake up everyday and live in the world He created. i hope you have a wonderful day.
