Home for Thanksgiving. A wonderful change of pace from school. It's like a breath of fresh air before heading on to the last tough week of school I will have for quite some time. I love the freedoms from obligations I have at home, but running into way too many people from high school, including captain awkward, gets old sometimes. That sort of thing inspires me to stay out east for a while. I spent most of today eating, as is expected, and I curled up with Anna for a bit; her 800 pages are getting a little overbearing. Silly pass/fail classes. Saturday will hopefully bring a test drive of an Audi (or 2) It is great that coming home always means I drive cars for the hell of it. I am far too removed from car people, let alone mechanically inclined people at school. My engineer's heart begs to be let out after 3 months at Bowdoin.

My last 'free' winter is just about to begin, and I have decided that such oppurtunity will guarantee ample times skiing. I want to get in as much as possible before a) my knee goes the route of SeaBass' and b) my life goes the route of the college grad, ie to work.

I'll be back at Bo-bo on monday and then I won't get my head above water until December 19. Joyous of occasions. At least I have my new tangential friend to cheer me up; she has been a wonderful influence on my enjoyment of school and has added the levity to studying that I have needed all semester; quite a turn around.
