Thanksgiving Week

This year's Thanksgiving is different than every other year..no house hopping, no big-time entertaining, just simple and fun. Johnny brought a turkey from his company and I cooked it. And some dishes. =) I'm splendidly surprise of my cooking skills..really...it's my first time cooking a turkey, well, cleaning a poultry that is not already fillet, cleaned, packed and ready to cook..it had everything intact..it was an interesting experience that I hope not to do again..haha..i mean the cleaning part. Anyways, turkey turned out great. Stuffing was ok, gravy was perfect..after an entire day of toil and labor, we had our delicious Thanksgiving dinner..

Black Friday was fun too. We went to Tulsa, OK to shop..hehe..and well, there were couple of good deals..bought couple of stuff and Christmas presents. All were fine and well, happy as can be, we headed back. But then, of course, something has to happen..as always! =p Flat tire! We pulled over, tried to remove the nuts but they were screwed in too tight..both of us were not able to get them loose..so, we decided to pull over on a flatter road..Thank God for the kind and helpful people out in the nowhere..an old man saw us pull over near his place and immediately came out to help. He jacked the car, and helped us change the tire..and he even told us where to get new tire which was just 2 min away. All is well, we got the tire changed for low price and we were set to go..eventful huh?

anyways, GRE on Monday..pray for me and wish me luck! =)

Almost the end...

It's almost the end of another semester..3 more weeks of classes and I'll be done with this semester..Can you believe it? I'm one more step to graduation! Anyways, things are going crazy for me now. Exams every week, homework, papers, working 2 jobs and of course, chores. Caffeine is my daily source of energy, no more 8 hours of sleep and no more gym..I haven't been to the gym in 2 months! It's crazy..from every 2 days to once a week to now, every 8 weeks? I really need to start making time to exercise. Fortunately, I quit housing job to concentrate more on my studies and now, I have more time to study and sleep.

Last Friday was my last day at Housing. My colleagues and supervisors threw me a mini "goodbye" party. Everyone brought food =) There was Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, homemade Malaysian-style banana cake, homemade sausages (which they all finished before I arrived) and cupcakes! hehe..It's fun working there but things had become routinely. People here are great to work with, everything was easy and uncomplicated. I get to study on the job but internet on the computer I have is super super slow..Instead, I decided that my time is better spent on studies as it's my senior year and I really really wanna get into the phd program here...

So, now with only one job, I get to use my mornings to study instead of filing and just tutor on weekends and after class. It's so much more relaxing since I get more stuff done now (and more sleep, less caffeine). GRE is coming up after Thanksgiving..so, I have a lot to do..I really wanna make at least 1500 on the GRE.. =)

Anyways, time change has messed up my schedule a lot. It gets dark too early and bright way too early in the morning. Wind blowing at my face, wearing layers and boots...call me crazy but I now look forward to SNOW! I'm so excited!!!

Ok, back to studying and being a nerd..haha...
