Thanksgiving was fantabulous.
I went to Megan’s house down in CT and had a wonderful time with her family. I am a little sad her father wasn’t around, for I wanted to ask him about chemistry and internships and companies in the area for my summer internship, but it was fun nonetheless. I ate delicious food, GREAT pies and sweets and whatnot (the highlights were pecan pie – courtesy of Meg – and sweet potato pie – made by Jesus himself -), went to see alpacas (oooh the smell will be remembered forever), had a great black Friday with Megan and her friends, talked about China-Taiwan relationship and Romania’s politics with Muraki san at Thanksgiving lunch, AND made my own sweets for the lovely family she has. I know cooking is not that hard, but spreading that stupid crust dough with a rolling pin was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It was my workout for the break. For serious.
I also had a crash course in guitar taught by Jesus. He was really helpful, and his tips will live within me forever. Moreover, we talked about quartz crystals and he gave me a really beautiful crystal dug up in Arkansas, near his hometown. He explained to me all the different properties and how it can heal a lot of emotional problems. Then he proceeded to show me his own collection of crystals, and there was this one particular crystal that just fascinated me, and still does. It was in the shape of a half moon, but the crystals grew in a weird way and there was actually a bridge between the two sides of the half moon. So symbolic, and deep too. And then there’s another one. The bottom fell off, but the crystals said “oh no bitch, we’re gonna pwn you and grow there too”, so it’s now a rebirth type of crystal. I loved it. I’m happy I got to meet so many great people over the break.
My crystal is meant to focus on people coming together as a family. So adequate.
Now, all I need to do is focus and get back on track, and write my study abroad proposal, because my application is due this Friday (!!) Shocking indeed.
