This Thanksgiving break has been a total bust. I should have gone on the service trip to New York. I miss my friends. There was no corn at dinner yesterday. Nobody else is home. People who are home don't have time to get together. I'm sick of being trapped in my house... no, I'm sick of being trapped in my parent's house. I don't even feel like this is home anymore. Thank goodness I'm graduating a year early... I'll get to move out for good sooner.

If there's a bright side, it's that I got my internship application for the Strib mailed out today, I got most of the editing for the Cardinal done, and I've gotten some homework done. At this rate, I'll be finishing the rest tonight. What a lame Friday night.

The only real meals I've had since I've been home were Thanksgiving dinner and this Polish food I don't even like the day I got home.

I'm homesick for SMU. At least more people will be home over winter break.

I also have a new pet peeve. I hate reminding people of plans to hang out. I hate it even more when those plans are subsequently canceled.

I hate when my mom says no to something and then doesn't even listen to what I have to say. As soon as I save up enough money to visit Italy I'm going alone. She's not really concerned about the fact that the whole family could go. Seriously, what would I really learn on a family vacation? The price for a 3 week study abroad in Italy is actually pretty reasonable if you notice everything that's included. I'm saving a year's worth of tuition for goodness sake! And I've always wanted to study abroad....and this is much cheaper than a whole semester would be.

I'm so grumpy right now. I need to get out of here!
