Thanksgiving, Turkey, and Term papers

Sorry to drop off the face of the blogosphere like that. It's been a busy few weeks at school, and I've had to let many non-essentials (like this blog, laundry, and actually cooking) slide while I try to get ready for the end of the semester.
My dad is doing great, which I'm really pleased about, of course. He's home and very restless -- it's hard for him to accept that he needs time to heal -- but seems to have come through the surgery with flying colors. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and the whole family at Christmas.
Thanksgiving sort of marks the end of the regular semester at school. Now it's all presentations and final papers. I have four big ones due in the next three weeks. There's a presentation due tomorrow that I'm procrastinating on right now in fact. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape for the papers, especially since I'm usually a last-minute procrastinator.
This Thanksgiving was nice. I relaxed on Thursday and Friday, and spent Thanksgiving with some friends. YEsterday I did lots of sleeping, and also hit the libraries for a while. More library work today, and hopefully I won't have to stay up too late tonight to finish.
There has also been knitting. I'll try and get some photos up tomorrow or at least this week. Can't wait to show off my partly-done monkey. :)
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

Good luck on your presentation and the papers. I know the feeling of I-can't-wait-the-semester-to-be-finished. It's almost there...

Erin,

I'm so glad to hear about your dad! Good luck on the papers & presentations.

And you're in good company. I've been letting the laundry slide here too in attempting to get my Christmas knitting done asap.

Happy news about your dad!

Good luck with your presentation! Always hated those things. Let me write a paper any day . . . well . . . not YOUR paper, but you know what I mean. Almost over!

Looking forward to pictures.

Awwww, sounds like a nice holiday for you! I'm relieved to hear about your dad...you must be, too! Come this way sometime for a knitting night...we miss you!

I can't believe that a semester is nearly over for you already!
