Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Okay, so I should really say Happy Belated Thanksgiving, because Thanksgiving has come and gone. Tommorow I am heading back to school and it is kind of a bummer. It was really nice to spend some time with my family. We didn't even do a heck of a lot, but it was so much fun! One night we ate at this really awseome burger joint called The Buckeye Beer Engine and they make all their burgers vegetarian if you ask and so that was sooo yummy! They make the burger part out of black beans and it is truly uncomparable!!
Then you of course I spent a great amount if time with my fabulous friends! One of them, Nick, who I call a cousin, because we are so super close, went shopping with me. But, instead of hitting the malls, we went to the tiny little whole-in-the-wall places. And in the back of this dingy, hippie shop I found the cutest hat ever!!! It is so warm and adorable and well-made (I think) and so cheap!!! So I was super excited about that find!
The pink hat is the hat I found!!
The resr of Thanksgiving was uneventful and then I flew home....dun dun dun...
my plane was like 4 hours delayed from Cleveland and then I missed my flight in Phillie and then my new flight was another 3 hours late and they lost my luggage and then I missed the train from Boston so I waited like 4 hours in the train station and then I had forgot my UNE ID in Ohio, so I had to call security and the R.A. and finally plopped into bed at quarter to 2AM!!!! ahhh....now I am taking the train home for Christmas to miss airport chaos...14 hours on a train...verrry interesting...we'll see how that plays out!
One more thing to talk about is this Hope in Darfur event I went to today. There is this club at UNE called We Are Responsible (WAR) that tries to get the word out about the genocide in Darfur and their event was soo cool tonight! They showed a short video and had refugees that live in Portland, that came from Darfur talking. It was really sad, but eye opening. One guy was saying how he still had family in Darfur and didn't know where they were...it was so sad!
But then the group sang and danced and it was so enthralling! Then we joined them which was fun! There were drummers and all the women were wearing outfits. I loved it!
Here is one of the speakers!
The performers from Darfur.
Here they are dancing!
They had some posters that were really awseome! The photos were so vibrant! Look at the picture of the woman, it is just so capturing!
