November:
Monday:
Am in the library working on the paper. Am almost done it. Hey, I could be done by next week. Hard to believe it's November already. Not many people in the library tonight. Is quiet. Wait until exam time, then it's not so quiet. Even though we're not supposed to, some students sneak little snacks and soda in, so sometimes you can hear munching and smell chips and candy bars at that time too. Caught a particularly beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty earlier today just as it was getting dark. Looks like it has a blue hue all over in the NYC dusk just before it turned on for the night. My folks called a while ago, asked if I'm coming back to the old town for T-day break. Told them I am. So are Mona and Kristy. Greta says she's probably going to an aunt's in Maine and meeting her mom there, while Wyser's thinking of inviting her folks over to our house for T-day. Wyser's folks live in upstate NY, so it'll be easy for them to come over right that day. Well, I'm headed to the computers to print out the final draft of this paper. I'll go over it one more time, then it'll be done. I always save it on multiple disks just in case. Talk later.
Saturday:
Am on a work break in the lounge. Got the paper done and turned it in. Professor Rigal thanked me and said that it was good when her students turned in term papers early, so she's not swamped in December. Been mild this week, had a bit of an Indian summer with temps in the sixties all week, but today is much cooler and more fall-like. Trees are past their peak now and the leaves are mostly down. The bookstore display window has all sorts of Thanksgiving displays and one book has a picture of a huge turkey on the cover. It looks scrumptious. Wonder if my folks are having turkey this T-day. Kristy says her mom ordered the turkey and all her siblings will be there. Her brother Sam says he has something important to tell everyone there. Wonder what it is?
Thursday:
Is raining and I just got home. Saw the Statue of Liberty light up for the night again just as I got up on the porch to get in. Am a little wet, so I'm headed to the kitchen now to get a tea. Running out of stuff in the fridge, so I wrote down a list of stuff we need and as soon as I get paid this Saturday, I'll be doing some serious food shopping. Good thing we have a 24-hour Safeway a couple of blocks away. Today's the first really cold day we've had this fall; it was in the low forties today. Stace called today; she's almost done her paper. Her cough's better; still has it, but it isn't so bad anymore. She hopes she can get rid of it completely by T-day break. She also said she's headed back to the old town for T-day.
Kind of a short chapter, I know, but I'll add more later!
