We got to see Brandon Sanderson a few weeks ago! He came for a book signing to our city, which we (Gaby) let him know was highly ironic as we were all so far away from home. Here's the picture, be jealous.
We're best friends now.
A few days later we had an awesome Thanksgiving party at our house! It was great because we got to celebrate it with a few Americans that we know, and we also were able to introduce our new British friends to the annual feast that is Thanksgiving. Everyone brought a dish of food, and we had a potluck. It was quite enjoyable, and my first Thanksgiving with Gaby as my wife! I also made some sweet potato suffle, which was a big hit. Gaby made turkey and gravy, which despite some defrosting drama, was also delicious! Side note: pigs in blankets here mean sausages wrapped in bacon. UK: 1 US: 0.
From then it's been very hectic for me as my professors all decided the last few weeks of the term were the best time to load us up with weekly problems and projects. I managed to get it all done, and so far I've not gotten less than a hundred on anything except one or two homeworks here and there. I feel I can say it now without bragging since my days at Tech did not go quite so swimmingly. But I digress.
The term is nearly over, Gaby and I leave to go home in ONE WEEK! We're pumped about seeing friends and family again, and also about eating some delicious Amurican food (like Taco Bell!!). But really, we are craving buffalo wings, waffles, tacos, and pizza and we will be eating as much of these things as we can while we're home.
As I said, this will be short and sweet, so I finish here.
