Front page

So many of you might have heard of my recent accomplishment, but, I have not yet bragged about it here. I recently wrote my first story for my school newspaper and as I went to pick up the published copy I see my article title on the FRONT PAGE of the paper. I nearly fainted. It was a feeling that hasn't come over me in a while. I actually feel like i'm heading somewhere. I've also been offered the opportunity to start blogging for my schools newspaper website. It's about all the ordinary and the not so ordinary events I witness on public transportation in Chicago. I'll start posting the links once it's up and running.

As of right now, it's Friday, and thoughts of thanksgiving and home are flooding my brain. I'm currently watching a movie called 'Outside Providence' which was made who knows when, but a while ago, and is about this kid who goes to boarding school and meets Amy Smart and they fall in love and she gets caught in his room with alcohol and weed then she gets her Brown acceptance revoked, then he fights for her by persuading the dean to let her back in, and then happily ever after 70's kids. Well, not so much happily ever after, people die and stuff but It's a really cute story that always brings me back to the first time I saw it in my sister Laura's apartment back in Seekonk, MA.

I had this interesting dream the other night that I was driving all around my home town blasting music and doing errands. That was the most interesting part of the dream, but it was enough to make me wake up with a huge smile on my face. I love driving (when gas is free). You have such a freedom. You can go anywhere, with whoever, stop whenever, go fast or slow, and outrace any Lance Armstrong look-a-like on a bike. I hate bikers when I'm the one driving. Their awful. But, when I'm biking, cars tend to really piss me off. Funny, huh? Hypocrisy, it's weird thing.

But, I have SO many plans already for thanksgiving break. I'm going to have turkey dinner on Thursday and Friday, then a cocktail party with my parents Friday, and off to the Cape for Friday night! The rest of the plans will fall into place..

I can taste the butternut squash with nutmeg and cinnamon now.

All for now,
