I love going back home, no matter which holiday. But I think I love Thanksgiving the best.  After a long two and a half months in school, it’s definitely a welcomed break back home before finals.

This particular Thanksgiving was special indeed. After not really being home over the summer, and barely spending a week after my trip back from Shanghai, I was so glad to see my parents again. Good talks, good food, good times.

They were supposed to drive up for this break, but something urgent came up, thus I caught a last minute ride back down. 

It also felt more like Christmas, this time around. I got so many tech-y things, that I feel like a tech-nerd. Finally bought my digital camera. I’ve been waiting to get one for a while now, and this one is just perfect for me. I also bought the student discounted Windows 7 upgrade, which is just fantastic. I love it! Takes less space and works much faster than Vista! Plus the OS screen is much more user friendly and easy to navigate around. Last but not least, I bought a portable external hard drive which was on sale at Bestbuy (although I did not do the lets wait outside at 3am Black Friday madness), it’s 500 GB, thin and fits into the size of my palm, all for just 80 bucks! I’d realized I needed a backup hard drive since my other one broke:/. At least this one has a 5 year warranty.

Shopping and hanging out with family and friends sums up my Thanksgiving. I dread going back up to Berkeley to take my finals…I brought down my History of Economic Thought reader and have yet to touch it..maybe tomorrow or later tonight?
