Thanksgiving Came Early... Literally!

Hi Everyone!

I'm blogging after eating probably one of the best, if not the best dinner on campus so far this year.... Thanksgiving dinner.  Which is pretty ironic because last year, my "Thanksgiving dinner" was mashed potatoes, a little piece of turkey, and a bowl of Lucky Charms... haha, oops.

Egan, our cafeteria (aka "the cafe") has an annual Thanksgiving dinner, and let me tell you, they go all out.  They have two buffets style tables set up with everything you could imagine, along with their regular serving stations with appetizers and all different types of pies and cookies... here's the menu and the pics of what I ate tonight:

corn, turkey, stuffing, raviolis, and mashed potatoes

and my favorite... apple pie w/ icecream

You might think I'm crazy for getting this excited about one meal, but trust me, when you're a college student living off of mac and cheese, spaghetti, lean cuisines, and sandwiches, a real, home-style meal tastes amazing.

It was a lot of fun because a bunch of my friends and I went to eat together and we had our own "family Thanksgiving dinner."  My roommate and I went with a bunch of our guy friends who are all on different sports teams... basketball, football, club hockey... and you should have seen the size of their plates!  Seeing their plates piled high with food was absolutely priceless and made the night that much better. 

It was a great time to just hang out with friends and relax before we all get too stressed out about finals, which are next Mon/Tues/Wed.  But the nice thing about that is... then we're on Thanksgiving Break for a week and a half.  Now THAT'S something to be thankful for! =)

That's it for now... gotta get some work done before the turkey makes me sleepy!
