update!

hello my mokroopal friends!

since everyone has posted an brief update on their status, i thought i'd do the same. i haven't seen you guys in so long! but fear not, home in 15 days! again, thanks for all the birthday wishes. i had a lovely birthday. it was a bit sad to not be home in california for my birthday and thanksgiving, but i survived my first november away from home. it also helped a bit that kaylah came to see me for a couple days.

for thanksgiving, my friend tracy made turkey, so i was not without my annual thanksgiving feast! that definitely alleviated pangs of homesickness. school is going well... a little harder than last year, but that should be expected. despite the extra work load, that has not deterred me from being merry (aka drunk) as often as possible. i've also been to lots and lots of concerts, due in large part to my friend beth, who i think is even more of a concert fanatic than lisa is! we're going to yet another one tomorrow night and she's trying to convince me to go to one on tuesday, though i think i'm going to have to pass on that one.

wow, it sounds like a lot of you guys have been getting sick. i did not get a flu shot yet this year, so i hope that my immune system will not fail me anytime soon, as finals are approaching.

looking forward to going back home, obviously. vegas, korean bbq, kressler's birthday, mokroopal xmas, snowboarding possibly... i get back on the 15th and i've already snagged kressler for korean bbq that night. anyone else who wishes to join is more than welcome.

i must depart for now, but good luck with all tests, academic exams or personal trials or otherwishe. you guys are all in my thoughts always. see you when i see you!
