Thanksgiving (I promise I won't whinge much)

Why I loved yesterday:

• Thanksgiving
• Making Parker House rolls
• They fixed my heater! I can now sleep with only one layer of flannel instead of 3!
• My supervisor LOVED my research plan - and says that I should make sure I get to the beach (hey, there are migrants at the beach!)
• My supervisor thinks I'm fairly smart, said it was clear that I have an affinity for feminist methodology, and believed the BS I gave her when she asked me what were the most importan parts of that methodology that I want to inlcude...
• Mashed sweet potatoes
• I bought a mug that says Trinity Hall. I'm having coffee in it now.
• And, of course, I have discovered my affinity for feminist methodology and the activist principle. Sweet, that sounds REALLy smart!
• She also thought my bibliography was a good length (I thought she was going to say, that's all you've read?)
• International Thanksgiving dinner on Bateman St.
• Christine made pumpkin pie
• No class till Tuesday
• And then only 2 more days of class in term
• Scott made a flaming German drink
• I nicked a bottle of wine that was left over
• Have been requested to make mashed sweet potatoes for house Christmas dinner
• Mom calling while we both made Parker House rolls on opposite sides of the Atlantic

Things I disliked:

• It took them till now to fix my heater...and it took 2 minutes to fix it, why did I have to wait 3 weeks?
• Too few cooks for too much food (Christine, James, Elly, and I cooked dinner for 15 in tiny kitchens scattered around Cambridge)
• No good masher, making potatoes a real workout (actually, I suppose that could go in the positive column)
• Too few leftovers!

So, good day. Lovely. And today I'm off to a film festival in London with my coursemates.

So, Happy Thanksgiving! Hope to see lots of you very soon. Hurray for the end of term (Assuming I get through exams alive)... I'll be back across the Atlantic in just a few weeks!
