Thanksgiving Wrap up

I left College Station, TX on Wednesday after going to the Trinity vs. TAMU basketball, which we won. The weather was horrible. There were supposed to be 3-4 tornadoes all around the area, so I decided to forgo leaving on Tuesday night. I left around 12:30 pm., planning to get to Brandon’s house for Adam’s surprise birthday party, but it turns out that one of the 3 roads that I take to get home was flooded with water (i.e. Katy Hockley Cutoff). So, I had to backtrack for about 30 minutes. It was okay though; I made it there, and I was happy. The party was at 7 pm, which was a total success. I got home at about 12.

On Turkey Day, I played with my step-niece, Elly (9 months old). She was absolutey precious. We went over to Margaret’s for dinner. Delicious again :). After stuffing ourselves silly, we decided to play Trivial Pursuits (old folks vs. younger folks). It was grand, and I didn’t know that Trivial Pursuit could be so heated. Then again, we ARE the Karls.

On Friday, I didn’t do much the whole day. I watched movies. I watched the UT/TAMU football game. Then, I went out to eat with the entire family at our house to Babin’s, a very delicious seafood restaurant. After that, I went to Red Lobster’s because Osama was there (along with Darren), and we were supposed to hang out. I talked to them as they were eating their endless shrimp. Some other guy showed up. Then, we headed back to Osama’s house. We watched some basketball on TV. We then went to Scotty’s? house to “game.” (playing HALO 2). Normally, I wouldn’t do that, but it was really fun because I all the people there were cool. Not only was I the only girl there, I was most definitely the youngest. There was one guy who graduated in ‘98 and was going to graduate school at Columbia University. Interestingly enough, I didnt feel out of place.

Saturday, I didn’t do much at all. Just a lazy day at the house. I made homemade pizza! (the dough, the sauce. yay)

Sunday, I drove home after going to Palais Royal with my mom. I didn’t want to leave because knowing that the next few weeks would be constant studying just made me depressed. Eh well. I’ll get through it. At 9:30 p.m. tonight I ‘m going to run 9 miles with my friend Kyle. We have to burn off that turkey somehow!
