Traditional American fare, here I come.

Thanksgiving break doesn’t officially start until Wednesday. But for me — well, let’s just say there’s a class or two that might not see my face tomorrow. I’m going home! I can’t wait. Thanksgiving is always the most-needed break in any year. Today I had two papers, a small test, and an art critique, so I’m just mentally blown. It’s time to check out. Hit the beaches (in November? Well, why not?), eat zillions of pounds of turkey, twice that amount of dressing, and just hang with my family for a few days.

Whew. I’ve been counting down to this one for weeks. It’s gonna be so great.

Is it sad that I plan to get lots of stuff done while I’m at home?

I’m going to kick-start the favorite American food part early, though. Tonight I’m going to a community dinner (started by alumni — I guess the whole hospitality and community emphasis of Messiah really does stick with you) that will feature pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, and probably tiny chickens.

Tiny chickens?

Well, I’m not in charge of that part. So don’t ask me.
