Turkey and family

So it's been a while since I posted last...mainly due to a crazy travel schedule and then my parents coming up for Thanksgiving. I guess I'll start where I left off.

The soccer team went up to Akron on Monday night for our game that was supposed to be on Tuesday. After hanging out all night and all day Tuesday, we finally headed for the field. As we were on our way, we were told that the game was being canceled because the field was already torn up and wet from the previous snow and it had snowed all day long so it was no better. We checked back into the hotel and waited until Wednesday to do it again. After another intense battle (at the school where LeBron went to high school), the boys lost on a questionable call by the referee with 5 seconds left in double OT. Talk about heartbreaking. It was an awful way to end their season and careers for the seniors there. I felt bad for the guys.

After getting home about 830...my parents arrived at my apartment at about 10. It made me quickly forget about the loss. They got to hang out all weekend with me and Sarah. Noone else was in my apt. so it was nice to have the run of the place. We got to make a Thanksgiving feast, go shopping and a movie on Saturday, and play lots and lots of Wii (MarioKart & Mario soccer). It was great to just relax and hang out with them. Every chance I get to see them anymore is great. It was disappointing to see them leave earlier but it was time. I have work and things to get done and I will see them in a month for Christmas.

As for other updates....I'm going into the last week of the quarter. I have some projects to finish up this week and then finals but I really dont have any big exams at the end of the quarter...it's kind of nice. Other than that, it's just work and Christmas shopping when I get the chance. Should be a good time.
