I have been back in Portland for a few hours now, and even though it is quiet, I am happy to have a full day tomorrow where I can work on homework and get ready for the busy week ahead. Even though my time in Piedmont was short, I enjoyed seeing my family and eating yummy, non-Commons food, both in restaurants and at home. Most of you have either heard me read Thursday night or have read (on this blog or on Facebook) the essay I wrote about the impact Herman has on my life.
Yesterday was just as busy as Thanksgiving day. I met up with Lucy, an old friend from middle school, for lunch. I hadn't seen her in seven years, but we reconnected through Facebook a year and a half ago. We had been trying to get together since, but this break was the first time we've been home at the same time. We went to Zachary's (favorite pizza place in CA!) for lunch and walked around College Ave. Last night, we all went to dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant to celebrate my maternal grandma's birthday. Her birthday isn't until January, but since it's over MLK weekend, getting everyone together then isn't possible as I will have just gotten back to school and my brother and cousin Willie will be busy studying for finals.
Tomorrow is going to be a day of catching up on homework (although I already got a fair amount done), preparing for the week ahead, and grocery shopping. I have a busy two weeks left of classes before finals...and it needs to go by QUICKLY!
