thanksgiving break

Im so happy it is Thanksgiving's break! I've been spending a lot of much needed time with my family. We've been decorating the entire house for Christmas, which has been tiring. I don't really agree with decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but my mom wanted us to do it as a family. Thanksgiving Day, we had dinner at my aunts house this year since she will be moving to Florida in May. I ate way more than I should have, but it all looked so good! I was super excited about the French Silk pie from Bakers Square because it's my absolute favorite desert ever. This afternoon, I took my nephew to see the CTA Holiday train. He was so amazed with the decorations and of course to see Santa. After that, I finally got to hang out with my friend who came back from Georgetown. It was amazing to reconnect with my friend because I haven't seen her since June. For the next two days of break, I'm hoping to see a couple more friends and just take in the family time. Hope everyone is having a great break!

This past weekend

Last Friday I got the best news ever. My sister is expecting baby number 3! When she showed me the ultra sound I immediately bursted into tears. My niece and nephew mean the world to and I would do anything for them. I kind of figured my sister was pregnant because I found the prenatal vitaims in my nieces diaper bag. Also her house is stocked up with Cheez-It's and Goldfish, which is what she craves during her pregnancies. I knew she was pregnant, I was just waiting for her to tell me. My sister mentioned that she doesn't want to know the sex of the baby, which shocked me. I really want to know if she's having a boy or a girl so I can start buying the baby outfits. I also want to know the sex of the baby because I really wanted to throw a gender reveal party. I'm just so excited for my sister and brother-in-law for bringing a baby into this world once again. I'm also excited to see my nephews reaction because he loves being a big brother, and he has been asking for a little brother. I don't think my niece will understand until the baby is born, which won't be until June. Now I'm hoping they pick me as a Godmother for this baby and then I'll be even happier!

Quarter Review

College Writing 2 has been different than what I expected it to be. I took Dr Kyburz husband last year, and since the beginning she told us she teaches different than her husband. I like both the ways they teach, but the writing projects we do in this class I feel like they're making me a better writer. I wrote a summary paper in College Writing 1, but not as in depth as I did in College Writing 2. Like I said in my previous blog post, the micro theme turned out to be harder than what I expected. I learned that trying to get your thoughts onto one page paper that doesn't really have your opinion is hard. I enjoy this class a lot. Like one of my classmates said, we can talk about how we feel or our opinion on something and Dr Kyburz doesn't bring us down. She understands our opinion even when she doesn't agree. I also like that we have daily discussions about the topics we are talking about. College Writing 2 has helped me become a better writer, and I'm excited to see how the semester ends.
