My week of THANKS!

I was blessed by having all of last week off from school. I was not blessed by suffering from the flu to start my break, well, on second thought, maybe the flu was a blessing, a blessing in disguise. While most people spent the break eating too much and gaining weight, I on the other hand, was not eating too much and, therefore, losing weight. The flu shrunk my stomach and as a result I have been determined to stay healthy and watch the amount I eat and what I eat. So right before Thanksgiving I went on a semi-diet. I no longer drink those highly caloric coffee drinks, like the Egg Nog Latte. I no longer drink soda, like Dr. Pepper. And I no longer eat at Famous Daves, okay I take that back, I eat crackers, carrots, celery, and a hamburger with no bun while I am at work. Nonetheless, I was able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal; I just did not eat a lot. Also over the break I found myself sleeping more than I should have and watching way too much football. I worked a little and studied not nearly as much as I should have...oh well...I was on break! The good news is that Thanksgiving break means 2.5 more weeks in the semester. Bad news is that I usually mentally check out of school after Thanksgiving break, of course when it is the most important time of the semester! So, instead of rambling on I should finish this paper that is due this evening.
