Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving week is just about over now and I feel great. Sort of.
This was my first Thanksgiving here in the US and I loved the whole feel of the holiday. Quite generously, I had been invited to a couple of traditional Thanksgiving dinners but ended up spending the day at home with my brother and sister-in-law. I guess that's what Thanksgiving is about, isn't it? I'm genuinely thankful that I have family here, on the other side of the world from home.
The entire campus was closed all this week and we had no classes at all. The break was welcome for sure. Most classmates that I spoke to had plans to travel back to family to celebrate the holiday. Others had planned mini-vacations all around the country -- Las Vegas, Arizona, Moab, Grand Canyon and what not. I, on the other hand, made grand plans for complete R&R (aka sleep). Study was planned as well, but sleep was far more tempting. Seriously, I had a lot of sleep and study to catch up on. I'm glad I achieved at least half of what I had planned :)
The next two weeks are going to be hellish, with two finance cases, one marketing case, one *huge* marketing project, an organizational behavior take-home final and a finance final to look forward to. Oh, joy.
