Happiest of holidays to you!
Thanksgiving is upon us and I just wanted to start this post off by expressing just how thankful I am for so many things in my life. Sure, I haven't had the best of times as of late, but I know it could be so much worse. I'm thankful for my family, my friends (who I miss so much right now, but even having friends that you love so much that you miss them is something to be thankful for). I'm thankful for the fact that we live where we live and the many things like food and running water that come with that. I could go on, but I just thought I'd take the time to say that if I haven't said I love you lately, I do and you're awesome!
Mushy stuff aside, this last week has had it's ups and downs but all in all, a pretty good one. I am now officially one third of the way through this semester! wooooo! In about a month I'll be starting a countdown until hell semester ends. My Uncle Tom has been visiting from the UK which has been nice. He'll be coming along to my cousin Carmen's house tomorrow for turkey lunch/dinner. He and I just went down for dinner at the Buffalo club which was pretty good. Though the other day while he was at Carmen's, her daughter the girl guide sold him a couple boxes of cookies AND GUESS WHERE THEY ENDED UP? That's right, my kitchen. Staring me in the face everytime I go in there and who am I to deny their deliciousness? So his visit is just kicking my diets ass, o well.
So I hope, wherever you are and whoever you're with, that you are having an excellent holiday and you eat your weight in turkey and pie, I know I will. Love Love Kiss Kiss.

My life is a joke
Hello to whomever is reading this,
Welcome to my blog! I'm not really sure where to begin to be honest. This last week has really only confirmed for me what I've known forever: My life is a joke. Not a funny joke either. Kind of like a poke in the eye and the other person is the only one laughing. That's my eye, and it HURTS. I mean, I get it, I'm a poor university student, this is what life's supposed to be like for us right? It's supposed to be some constant trial to test how well you handle the real world and all the crap that comes with it? Yeah, I deserve a medal or something for even walking away from last week with an ounce of sanity.
The week started off in the same sleep deprived, semi-zombielike way that it usually does. But it was Wednesday night when I got a letter in the mail where things took a turn for the worse. It was a bill from the Golden Ears toll bridge. I had been expecting one since I had gone over once during the summer with Emily to get her XBox but when I opened that envelope I could literally feel the blood drain from my face. It was over 100 dollars! Looking closer, I saw that it said I've been going over that bridge, two to four times, everyday. Um...NO, NOT ME! So naturally, a panic attack ensued in my house where the conclusion to this problem came with the realization that my front license plate was no longer on Ford Taurus. Great.
The next day was now dedicated to sorting out this problem. This bill only went until the 15th of the month which means there were another 10 days or so of charges since then that I hadn't been billed for yet. I reported it to the police and as soon as I got home I called the bridge toll office. That conversation was a mess. I started crying, barely able to get my words out. The woman had told me that all the pictures were of a blue Ford Taurus going over so I was responsible for every toll until that day. ARE YOU KIDDING? I literally said that to the woman on the phone, which didn't help her already rude disposition. So there you have it, I was being billed for some A-holes bridge fees who just happened to have the same car. Awesome.
This story does however, result in me coming out on top. When I called back the next day I was prepared for a fight on the phone. That was unnecessary though since the new, much nicer, lady let me know that under closer examination they had determined that the car was not mine since they had a huge scrape on the back end of their car that was not on mine. SIGH OF RELIEF. I did have to buy new plates and as far as I know this guy still hasn't been caught but I'm not paying his bills. WOOO!
The week goes on to having me get soaked head-to-toe when a sink exploded on me at one of my buildings. I got the joy of cleaning that mess while being a soggy mess myself. The plan for this week had originally been to get a grip on my homework situation. Clearly, that didn't quite go as planned and now I'm a smidge behind so I shall leave you here to get the minimum necessary homework done. Here's to a week that doesn't make you hate your life! Ta-ta!
