So much to do, so little time...

And yet here I am blogging again. I have so much to say and so much not to say; my mind is going in a thousand different directions and the rest area is no where in sight and yet I don't want to slow down. How to describe what I am feeling... Deep Breath. Hmm. I am happy. That's the feeling that keeps popping up the most, plastering this huge, dopey grin on my face. I'm happy and content and excited and a lot of other things. It's been a very good break. Wow, what an understatement. After a long and cold and wet and windy ride home Tuesday night, things improved dramatically all day Wednesday, culminating in a late-night movie, Casino Royale, or Casino Roy, as the ticket said. I loved the movie, and I think Daniel Craig is a promising new James Bond. Eva Green, the actress who played Vesper, is breathtakingly beautiful, damn her. Without a doubt it was a great night. Then it was time for turkey day, whose tale I have already recounted, so let me proceed to Friday. Friday, I awoke and did practically nothing. The house was clean from the day before, all the food I'd ever need was stored in tupperware in the fridge - so I read for a while, talked for a while, and that was that. My parents finally came home from shopping sometime around seven or eight, noticeably exhausted. Saturday morning brought a new rug and high speed internet. I was very excited about the internet, although the rug was nice too. My sister and I then disassembled our old computers and exiled them to the shed, while the desks were carried ever so clumsily to the garage. After that I went on a very pleasing excursion on a nature trail off of hwy 24 with my very charming guide. I got to see a beautiful sunset, and then the sight of the water as the sun turned it all rose and violet. It truly was la vie en rose! And then it was time to go home, where my goodbye was cut short by the impromptu arrival of my Dad and my brother. Se la vie. I then helped my Dad do some work in the house, putting up dry wall and such. And then my Mom and my sister came home, we all had dinner, and played trivial pursuit until half of us were ready to fall asleep at the table. I withdrew to the TV room and watched very entertaining British comedy skits until I was ready to fall asleep, which I tried to do after removing myself to my bedroom. But alas, sleep has been elusive these past few nights, no doubt due to my incessant mind. And now here I am, back at school. I feel very sorry for my unfortunate roommate because she is going to have to put up with big, goofy, dopey, happy me for a very long time. And now I am going to put that mind to good use in a moment, so I can ready my Spanish presentation for tomorrow, among other homeworks I must complete tonight. But from where I stand (sit) now, the end of this semester is in sight - three weeks and counting!
