Thanksgiving Festivities
GO GAMECOCKS!!! Our victory over Clemson on Saturday was definitely the icing on my Thanksgiving cake! But before we get to the game, I'll tell you a little bit of what I did over the break.
First, I visited my Me-Ma (that would be my grandma) in N.C. and pretty much ate the entire time. I had the normal turkey and dressing type stuff but also indulged (I love using fancy words like indulged...it makes me feel smarter!) in some 'scrumdidliumptious' pecan pie! Then I visited my other grandparents and ate more! Friday night, I watched 'Wedding Crashers' with my grandparents. Ha! Writing this just makes me laugh. We've all seen the movie, so just picture the "You shut your mouth when you're talking to me" scene or Vince Vaughn and his "stage five clinger"! Needless to say, I don't think my grandparents though it was as funny as I did.
Then with Saturday came the good and the bad. I woke up extremely early...to go shopping. Now, I'm not the normal girl when it comes to shopping. I despise malls, simply because they're usually over-crowded and they smell like a mix between Chinese food and Cinnabons. (Let me clarify this: Chinese buffets are some of my favorite restaurants and I could die for a freshly baked Cinnabon right now, but the combination of the scents in a stuffy mall.....no!) But anyway, I promsied my mom I'd go shopping with her so I could pick out my Christmas gifts. We arrived at the mall at 8:00 am and shopped a good 4 hours. I was dying by the time we left. The USC vs. Clemson game had just started so we found a restaurant where we could eat and watch the game. We are both die-hard Carolina fans, and I'm pretty sure everyone in the restaurant was thankful when we left at half-time so they could enjoy some peace and quiet. The ride home was painful...we listened to the game on the radio, and I was literally about to jump out of my seat. We pulled into my driveway with less than a minute left. My mom and I ran full speed inside to turn on the tv just in time to see the Clemson kicker miss the field goal! It was so dramatic, you would have thought we each won a million dollars. I don't think I've ever screamed that loud before in my entire life. It was the best feeling ever...beating Clemson at their stadium! All I can say is.....it's about time!!!
So, yeah, my Thanksgiving was really great. Now, i'm back in the dorm and I'm already stressed out again. Three papers due and one huge test in the next three days! (I need a prayer!) So, I better get to studying....
**REMINDER: Don't forget to turn in your applications by THIS FRIDAY, December 1st! Good Luck!
