We usually end up frying one of the turkeys
Okay, first I wanna apologize for not posting in more than a week. There's this huge Greek test I'm freaking out about, so I've been diligently studying all week. Don't worry, though, the test is gone and done as we speak, so things should return to normal soon here.
So I spent the weekend in Omaha with my family and some friends, and guys, it was great! I miss the place a lot, and it was fun to stay at my house for a weekend like I did. See, last Saturday was the date for "Cabaret Cafe", Skutt's music department fundraiser. It was a lot of fun; I got to see the show choir, the girls show choir, and the band do the pieces they've been practicing for various events. My sister, always the overachiever, was in all three, so she was pretty busy during the performances.
Although going to Cabaret Cafe was fun, it's also kinda depressing. Seeing everyone at home made me wish I was at Skutt again, driving me and my little sister to school at 7 am so she could go to show choir practice. Even though I was only there for one year, it was a great time, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Just to be a senior again, walking through the halls, arguing about whatever with Joe B, or discussing computer science stuff with Ben... high school, I've decided, isn't so bad, even when you have to move right near the end of it.
Ah well, times change. Luckily, though, I'll be stopping back home for Thanksgiving break in a few weeks, and then not only will I get to see my family and Omaha again, but a great big chunk of my extended family. It's gonna be crazy. When our family gathers together under one house for thanksgiving, we have to cook two or more turkeys just so we can have enough for leftovers. Lefovers, of course, being one of the best parts of Thanksgiving.
There's a group of people going to the Kansas City Opera to watch "Of Mice and Men", and I'm considering going. On the other hand, though, there's a movie being shown in the Tower Classroom tonight, too- "Arsenic and Old Lace". I saw a play production of it, and it was a riot. So now all I have to do is decide which one to go to...
Decisions, decisions. Later everyone.

Diligently studying! Are you feeling ok, Paul? Well, on the bright side, it means you've got your act together. If I come and visit you sometime, will you still answer the door and say "Hi Katy! Have you seen my shoes?"
Just Kidding! Hope you did well on your Greek thing. I almost re-took Latin... Glad I'm staying away from the Classical Languages. I took a Spanish test last week and got an 83 while not even knowing when and where to use the 2 different tenses. Its all about guessing what section of the test the teacher put each tense and filling in the appropriate endings in the appropriate section...
It seems that you are learning more than me. Heaven forbid you should get something out of college... Have a blast working your butt off and benefitting it!
Hey Paul! Glad to hear you're doin' okay out there! I was sitting here gettin' all excited about seeing everyone over the holiday, when I had an epiphany...I'm not gonna see you. How sad! Oh well, you do have family in Boulder...and I go to school in Boulder...so I'm sure that I'll see you one of these days. That is...if you haven't forgotten about me. Talk to you later. : )
