Can I just tell you, making people show up to class on the day before Thanksgiving is just mean. And scheduling conferences on that day: also mean. I'm really, really annoyed that I'm not on my way back to Ohio yet, and won't be until midnight. That's right...I'm riding a bus over night and will be arriving in Cleveland at 7:30 Thanksgiving morning. Lame!

Of course, I'm very excited to get home and see my boyfriend and my family, but mostly, I'm excited to meet my new "little sister." Mom and Dad rescued her from the shelter last Friday, after they saw her story on the news (watch here). I might just die of puppy envy.

I am pretty grumpy because I want to be home and I'm not, so instead of whining, I'm going to jump on the gratitude journal band wagon and see if I can mellow myself out.
This year, I'm thankful for:
- My amazing family (and bf)
- New friends
- Finding a path in life that feels right (most of the time)
- Poems
- Being able to watch TV on the internet
- Having enough money for the things I need, and most of the things I want
- Student Loans! (see above)
- Pink pepper spray (and that I've never had to use it)
- Books
- Office supplies
- Netflix
- Self-awareness & growth
- Being a non-smoker for the first time in 9 years
- Moving to Chicago, and learning to be truly on my own, even though I'd still rather be in Akron
- The Megabus
- Textured tights
- Hot water...
Okay, so that last one was me looking at the clock and realizing I have to go shower and get ready for class (stupid day before Thanksgiving class). I probably won't be back here for a while, so happy Turkey Day, ya'll.
