A Very LONG Week...

Hi Everyone,

This was a very long week. I have been feeling under the weather and school is getting more difficult by the day. I had a nervous breakdown the other day after I received a VERY bad (and I feel was not deserved) mark on one of the exams I took last week. It was just so out of character for me and the stress of the week was made aparent when I got very upset about my bad mark. Overall though my exam scores were good. There is always room for improvement.

I have exams AGAIN this upcoming week! I feel I have a better grip on this weeks projects though, so things should turn out a bit better. I am making a video for my marketing class (very amature quality) but we have to put them up on YouTube. I will send you all the link when its done...but don't laugh because it will surely be crap seeing that I've never made a video in my life! My teacher is more concerned about getting the message across than the video quality being good.

Marangoni hosted their "Welcome to School" bash at a very swanky members-only club which they rented out for the night. There was open bar and losts of dancing and LOTS of fashion. Go to the web site if you want to check it out: http://www.thecuckooclub.com/ . I took my friend Sara as my +1 date for the night and she was astonished by the things people were wearing (or not wearing for that matter). She said that someone should make a reality TV show about the students at this school because they really are a bunch of characters...not me of course...I'm completely normal and boring!

Anyways...I'm at Starbucks right now and it is the most relaxing time I've enjoyed all week. I am sad thinking about all of the Thanksgiving festivities that will be going on this week. I was going to make a dinner for my friends, but I really don't have the money or the time to do so. I am making a point to go Christmas shopping next weekend though...it won't be the same as going out on Black Friday, but I will try my best to get into the holiday spirit. There are a lot of festivals, light displays, ice rinks and other holiday-centric activities going on around the city. I know it has been really cold in Md. lately and its not quite so cold over here, but we might (and that a big MIGHT) get some snow here this week. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone...and eat some extra turkey and pumpkin pie for me!!!!

TTFN-
