Crunch Time

I'm back in Ann Arbor after a short but sweet visit at home in Germantown last weekend. I spent last Saturday carving pumpkins with my family, including my cousins Miranda, Malinda and Madeline :) Our front yard was converted into a pumpkin patch for special effect! Mom had the best food-everything from potato skins to creepy finger cookies and Dad made his famous buttermilk pancakes on Sunday.

I went back to Madison with Kyle and Alyssa to visit friends for a few days. In the time I had, I tried to fit in as much as the city had to offer: waffles at Indie Coffeehouse, cheese curds from the Old Fashioned, $1 taps at the Vintage, and a pumpkin latte from Espresso Royale. It was great to catch up with family and friends but lots of work awaited me in Ann Arbor upon return!

At least I was able to schedule in some fun time for myself during the past week. I had a birthday dinner/ice cream/drinks with friends on Wednesday night to celebrate my 23rd-yikes! Then last night I attended a costume party where I played the part of Governor Palin. I even had a rifle...just in case any wolves or moose wandered in from the streets.

Well, I have two papers due this week, a group project and another paper next week. I'll be spending election night in Detroit so I need to get everything done by this coming Sunday...we'll see how that goes. I'll post some pictures of recent events sometime soon, once all the craziness settles down. 

Peace.
