I am no longer a teenager. It seems weird to say that, honestly, but I'll obviously get used to it. My birthday was wonderful, and thank you to everyone who sent me good wishes. Here's some pictures from the weekend:



Thanksgiving break is exactly one week from today, and I am unbelievably excited. I've been missing home lately, and I have some great plans lined up for the small break, so it'll be nice. Unfortunately, I have a week long day-by-day to-do list until next Tuesday. Ah, college life.

I'm up to having 4 papers and a lab report to work on, and a biology test looming next week. Plus, regular homework, hall council responsibilities, and committee planning for the annual charity bowl-a-thon. Also, I'm still trying to get all my medical business sorted out for when I return home. In other words, I'm pretty busy (as usual).

Something that made me feel really old this week: looking up internships and graduate schools. I'm starting a little early, but still. It was strange.

How are you all doing? Well, I hope.



Thank you to everyone who participated in To Write Love on Her Arms day. I adore you. Here are the pictures that deviants sent me to look at:
