Back at Hillsdale....

As I alluded to in my "Thanksgiving" post, I've been crazy busy. I think everything just piled up on top of itself but I'm caught up and now in 'study for finals' mode. I have one more major paper due tomorrow, a test friday, and four finals next week until I head home! I can't wait. I miss home!

In Hillsdale news, my roommate was featured in the state's oldest college newspaper (Hillsdale's 'Collegian') where she is quoted saying:

I am so proud of her!!

Also, our new Athletic Complex is supposed to open in February and it looks so great already! It is going to feature a new cafe, indoor tennis courts, a track field?, and other athletic equipment. I can't wait to have indoor courts so I can go play and get more exercise! 

Finally, I was visiting Central Hall (The pretty blue clock tower) and snatched this photo off the top floor:

Thanksgiving

As I'm sure you assumed, I've been SO busy at school. I literally haven't had a minute to blog. I am finally catching up on everything school-wise and preparing for next weeks finals and then HOME! Here's a snapshot of Thanksgiving at Aunt and Uncle's house:

Dinner Table

Molly, Aunt Loretta, Me

Per usual, we celebrated Aunt Rita's birthday!

First Snow in Michigan!! For the record, the weather here has been in the 40s-60s and has not snowed since this day.

I had such a memorable time staying at Grandma's house. (She made her pasta and homeade meatballs and cheesecake.. so good. I didn't how deprived of FOOD I was at Hillsdale!)

We also went over to Uncle Bob and Aunt Loretta's house for Thanksgiving and had a big dinner and visited with family and friends. Another great meal!

I can't forget my favorite - shopping with my cousin Molly and my 90 year old Grandma for black friday! We got some great deals and shared some special time together :)
