Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!! I hope you all enjoy your day. Mine was absolutely crazy but wonderful, too. On this happy day, while most of you were all sleeping and spending time at home, I had a busy busy schedule at uni. At 8:45 AM, I meet a couple of friends on the way to our first Polish lesson! It was so amazing. It will be very hard to pick up - but it is great. Our tutor is a Polish girl named Marta. She is really nice and doesn't laugh at us too much!
Following that, I had a huge presentation in my Politics of Language in Europe class. And thankfully, it went GREAT! My lecturer said it was great and was really impressed with the set up and comprehensiveness of it! So that made my day go so much better!
After that, I had my weekly lunch a group of friends and then headed to diplomacy. Honestly, I didn't learn much from that class. It was quite boring - even the lecturer looked bored. So, to make our time a little more interesting, Tom and I looked over our Polish notes and tried to memorise some sayings! We even managed to have a fake conversation on the way home.
BUT... The real fun began after. At 6pm, I headed over to my French friend Caroline's house, to finish setting up for our thanksgiving dinner/party! Yesterday, we cooked two chickens and decided on our plan. Today, though, we cooked the two turkeys (even having to remove the giblets) and stuff them as well! We were so proud! So at this moment - I know most of you are doubting that I actually cooked! And as always, I once again forgot my camera so I cannot show you the wonderful times that we had! The food was amazing. Along with the turkey, we had roast potatoes, gravy, leek, a rice dish, some salads, carrots, corn, corrects and lots of desserts as well! It was a complete success! Our department is so great. We all get along well and love hanging out together!
We are now thinking about a mini Christmas party :) before we all leave. Our lecturer, who is deputy head of our department, already enlisted Caro and I to plan the Christmas drinks get together. So I'll let you know about that already!
I hope you all had just as wonderful time! Happy thanksgiving! :)
