13.

On this fairly cold morning of November 21st, I begin lucky number 13! Thanksgiving is now less than a week away and I couldn't be more ready. This is the first time I've been this eager to get home (though I always miss it a little). This month has been the fastest one of my life! I've been so busy that these past 20 days have seemed like barely a week and I think it's time I put on the breaks a little so I can savor some of these days a little bit. I have noticed that the leaves up here are starting to change color on some of the trees (though most of them are still green). The bad dreams have not showed up again and I've been sleeping pretty well (when I try to sleep). I'm, surprisingly, very awake right now but will need to fix that seeing as I have class in less than eight hours. I'm excited about this weekend and look forward to having some free time to do some productive things unrelated to school in addition to studying and reading.
