thank god it's thanksgiving!

Finally, a long weekend is here thanks to Thanksgiving. Got to make the most out of it since after this, the next holiday will be Christmas, which is in about 2 months? The funny thing is that today is the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, and here we overseas Chinese are celebrating Thanksgiving rather than 'Zhong QIu Jie'.

My prospects of carrying out plans to study these few days seem bleak. My first Midterm is next week (on a freaking Saturdayin fact!), and lab reports and assignments keep coming in. Tomorrow will be a full day of feasting.. First, Thanksgiving lunch at home with about 15 people gobbling down a meal of turkey, salad and mashed potatoes, served with wine and desert. Then, a Thanksgiving potluck dinner together with ISC people and friends. Sunday will be the ISC Thanksgiving Apple-Picking & Dinner event all day. Leaving Monday as my only free day, which I most probably will waste it by slacking..
