For Thanksgiving break I had Wednesday off which is a normal class day for me. So I drove up to Alabama to see some friends there and mainly to see Jon. It is about 3 hours from my place to Chelsea where I was staying. There is a time change in the middle of that does some strange things to the internal clock.

Wednesday afternoon I spent with my friends just hanging out and playing with the kids. That evening after the kiddos went to bed, we watched Robin Hood and I balanced chemical equations.

Thursday morning I drove 2 more hours up to Huntsville to see Jon. Unfortunately it was Thanksgiving day so everything was closed and there was nothing for us to do but sit in the car and talk. Good thing I brought my knitting. Then we went to lunch with some of Jon's crew. After which I headed back to Chelsea, ('cause there was nothing for us to do on post) and had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with my hosts.

Friday afternoon I drove up to see Jon again, and hung out in the rec center watching videos and eating pizza.

Saturday morning another friend of mine was able to come over and have lunch with us. I was glad to get a chance to see him, as we where both very busy that week end. Afterwards I headed back home.

I finally got around to getting my flu shot yesterday. It's actually the first one I have ever had. I was on my down the driveway on my way to the CVS for my appointment, and thinking about possibly getting a new color of lipstick that I had been contemplating for a while. I was not sure I wanted to spend $8 on a new color that might end up looking terrible. However, I had was getting a few extra hours at the church sitting for the new bible study so I had a little bit of extra cash.

When it suddenly hit me that "OMG extra hours! This is Monday! I'm supposed to be at the church in 25 minuets!" Which is about how long it takes to get there if you don't run into 5:00pm rush hour traffic. So I called back home, and told them that I would be later than expected, and to please call and tell the pharmacy that I would not make it at 6. I managed to make it only 3 minuets late.

I was thankfully able to do a walk-in and get my immunization on the way back home.

Turkeys, Airzookas, and Grades...Oh My.

I found a really cool science toy for my Bio teacher. It's called an airzooka. It shoots a blast of air up to 20 feet. It's harmless but attention getting and you don't have to pick up any darts or balls afterwards. I saw that and imagined him nailing the students that fall asleep in class. It just struck me as hilariously funny (now that I'm out of his class), so I gave it to him as an early Christmas gift. Of course I have never fallen asleep in class...no not little angel like me (I have come to the point of totally zoned out though). I'm sure Dr. Bishop has made many diabolical plans to pester his students and co-workers with it. :)




Chem is not half so hard as I thought it would be, and I have made a couple of friends in that class. I have a 96.(?>5) (something bigger than 5). I just found out that a test I thought was going to be on Monday of next week is going to be on Wednesday. Which only gives me one day to cram. Ugg. I hate cramming by the way.

Psychology and I have a love-hate relationship. I think I'm still pulling an over all A (the grading chart is kinda messed up), but I have made several B's on some of my quizes. The big paper is due this sunday. The paper alone is worth 15% of the grade so it's a make it or break it as far as getting an A goes.

I'm hoping to get lots done this weekend so I won't have much to worry about next weekend. I have that Wednesday off, essentially giving me a 4 day weekend. I'm going to drive over to AL to see Jon for Thanksgiving.
