 Not a lot to report since we've had the last week off school. However, did get to have a thanksgiving dinner with all my friends, which was cool since it was their first thanksgiving. It wasn't your typical thanksgiving however since everyone made a dish from their home country the food selection was a little different. Overll though it was a fun experience and I think the Europeans enjoyed it.

 I apologize for not posting the last few a bunch of my European friends wanted to go to Chicago so last week we took a trip out to the windy city. Overall, the trip was amazing, however the Europeans didn't like the weather nearly as much as they like Maimi weather. The sights and sounds of Chicago were amazing though, and overall, I think everyone enjoyed the trip and its always fun going places with them just to see their reaction to American culture.

 It was a pretty low-key week to be honest. My roommates' parents came from England, so I got to meet them, which was nice, they're super nice people and they even invited me out to eat with them, so that was nice. But other than that pretty much just been hanging at the pool and grinding through schoolwork. 

 Took my friends out this weekend to watch the Steelers Dolphins game, it was their first-time watching football, so it was cool to get their reactions to how fancy the stadium was and how big it was. However, it was frustrating having to explain the rules to them whenever something happened, and the Steelers lost so that didn't help either. Overall though it was a really fun night out.

Finally reached the midterm of the semester and I couldn't be happier. It snowed in PA today and I would do anything to be at home right now cozied up by a fire. I already missed the fall and the changing leaves, now the snow too :( its weird the types of things you miss when you move into a new climate.

 This last week has been incredibly stressful with 4 midterms in one week and another one on Monday, been really studying and working hard though to try and maintain my good GPA. It was also a friends birthday this weekend so safe to say I didn't get any work done over the weekend, so looks like its time to buckle down for this last midterm then well be home free until finals.

 Just had the busiest week ever, had three exams and so much homework I couldn't even get out and do anything this week. And there's a hurricane on the way! Gotta go to the store tomorrow to get some extra food just in case it gets bad.
