Thanksgiving...i think yes!

I just got back from Thanksgiving break last night, and I had one of the best! It started off by putting up decorations with mom, and it ended in watching christmas movies with the rents. Oh yes. :) I spent lots of time hanging out with Pete...and I'd have to say, I like the kid. We went to Harry Potter, in which Cali so kindly provided tickets for, went black friday shopping, played pokemon, and had a fantastic time! I enjoy being home so much! It's just the scent, combined with the family and the good food that I have a hard time resisting. Only 2 more weeks and 3 days till I get to stay there for good!! Until next Fall semester of course when I move out again. I have enjoyed being in Logan though. I have to admit, I love being with my roommates! They are all so cute and fun, and that will be one thing I'll be missing when I'm out. Our late night card games, our lounging around drinking hot chocolate and watching movies all day one after the other, our unfocused study sessions...it'll be a sad departure :( A bittersweet one at that.
   I decided I'm going to start up a thing called the thought of the day, where I'm going to write what's mostly been on my mind recently. Today I'll start off by saying I've thought alot lately about really how hard it is to be yourself sometimes when you're around people who may be outspoken, or intimidating. I've realized how easy it is to be that outsider who doesn't want to put in the effort to think of a conversation starter so instead just sits in the background and says nothing at all. But once you come to realize the fun and joy you can have just by getting to know someones personality and by putting yourself out there a little bit, it's so not worth just sitting back in the silence. This week so far has been so fun! And it's only because I've not been focused on myself so much, but on getting to know others a little more. When you find yourself feeling a little sheepish around someone more outspoken, all you really need to do is be interested in them, and they won't have a problem with talking to you. Cause hey, everyone likes to talk about themselves. ;) It's easier then you might think! Alright, well that concludes today's thought..until next time, peace.
