Although my first not spent at home, Thanksgving was great. Dinner at the Marriot was amazing, and it was really nice spending the evening with my friends. We all sat around sipping mulled wine and catching up on each others amazing adventures around Europe. We had a few professors there and I got to here about how they used to skate on the Balaton when they were young. I really enjoyed that, especially because I am so accustomed to having close relationships with my professors at Scripps. Most of us love Attila, our history prof, he went to Transylvania with us, and when you spend 20+ hours on a bus with our group, you get close, however I doubt my other professors even know my name.
Unfortunately, now I have to think about the looming paper deadlines and upcoming finals. I have two papers due on my birthday, which is rather irritating, however once I turn them in I am free to celebrate and jet off to Rome, so that will be fabulous. I have just 31 days left in Budapest, a statistic that excites and saddens me at the same time. I have truly come to love this city and the people in my program far more than I ever could have anticipated. I know I'll be back someday, but it will be a long time, and much will have changed. However, I am terribly excited to get home and be truly warm again. I am becoming accustomed to the cold, which is rather frightening, I stepped outside today and actually uttered the phrase, "Oh what a great day, its so warm!" Its 50 degrees outside... who am I? I'm sure its been good for me to experience the joys of many, many, many layers, but I am looking forward to a sunny socal christmas. Hope everyone had a good holiday.
