Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving here, and in true Canadian fashion (so i'm told) I did not celebrate on the day itself, instead celebrated yesterday with all my friends here who didn't go home for the weekend. We had dinner and went for a hike (not in that order) but the weather was too beautiful (shorts weather!) so everyone else had the same idea and it wasn't as fun. Also, there don't seem to be any real hills here.
I have very many things to be thankful for this year, and I have been reflecting on them over the last two days (not in true Canadian fashion apparently - they just eat?). Because it is a holiday for family, I got asked more then usual if I miss home/the states (three times actually). Kind of silly really, because of course I do, but it is weird to miss them for a holiday that isn't celebrated until November - I sort of feel like I shouldn't miss not going to Chicago for Thanksgiving until Thanksgiving has actually passed down there.
Anyway, postings have been light because I have been super busy (and super tired) which will unfortunately continue this week. I will be taking a group of third year students on a field study trip to the southernmost point in Ontario/Canada. I get to drive a minivan, and have free time to explore in the day - we (the other grad students not the undergrads) also may take a side trip to Detroit for some hockey (it's like I'm pulled to the states like a magnet - I don't even know) but the moral is that I may not have time to post until we get back - Friday evening.
