Christmas Spirit!

That's right! I'm the one who appreciates B101 putting the Christmas music on now! I jam out to it on my car every now and then. I've already gotten the majority of my Christmas presents for my family and friends. I love this time of year...minus the cold! And boy was it cold today. 36! I can't take this!

I've decided to clear my mind of Christmas since Thanksgiving is next week :) The Newman Center had a huge Thanksgiving dinner last night. There was about 150 people there. The food was soooo delish! Turkey, mashed potatoes (butter, cheese or chive..yes we had 3 kinds) stuffing, green beans, corn and bread. Oh so good! I'm still full from it! It was a great time.

Meanwhile, school is almost over! This semester has by far been my hardest. I love my internship but it takes up so much time. It's great though, and I may be part-time staff for them when I'm done. These past 2 weeks I had to hand write the addresses for 250 Thanksgiving cards we were sending out to clients. Fun I know. I'm surprised I can even type with my right hand.

I'm going to make some dinner, or maybe find some Thanksgiving leftovers, and bundle under my covers cause my room is an icebox! Enjoy the cold week friends!!

Whoaa Philly!

So how about them Phillies! Amazing! One of the most exciting weeks ever. I watched every game nervously in hopes of a win. For the Championship game, a bunch of us watched it outside in the cold but wound up sweating from pacing back and forth. When we won it was wild! I think every Temple student ran down to City Hall. It was so intense. Such a great feeling! I was upset however that I had my internship on the day of the parade but my awesome boss let us all go to it. And that was even more crazier than when they won. I took some awesome pictures!

This is the view from the top of my building at about 9 in the morning.
