Short Updates

so this is why i haven't been updating: i've been too busy eating and sleeping. you're chuckling, thinking to self - why am i not surprised?! haha yes i know. but that's what thanksgiving holiday is about isn't it?! we eat and be merry; who cares about putting on holiday pounds?! well i speak for myself, for i clearly went overboard, stuffing myself with food as if i've been starving for the past few months. seriously. ask Kenna and Sheena and they'll testify to that. (in fact, i think they were secretly taken aback by how much i could eat, but were kind enough to not voice it out verbally).

but food aside - as much as i love eating all the time, my jaws get tired at some point and i have to do other stuff to keep me entertained and occupied - i've been reading on health reform and following up on the President's stance on the Afghan war. there's just so much to read on it's almost like a full time job. i wish i could just sit there all day and keep track of all that is going on, and then write about them like what Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias and the lot do. i mean, i don't have to say how awesome it is to get paid for doing something you love, do i?

so my classes end next week, with a final to sit for and a final 10-page paper to write up. i have 4 days to write the paper, and in between researching on the topic and scrambling to write it, i have to find time to study for the other final. sometimes it really, really amazes me how i never learned to not leave things till the very last minute. i guess i work better under pressure. anyway. after finals, i'll have more time to blog (hopefully) and i have tons of stories to share - i just hope i won't forget them by then.
