I'm so excited because there will be beautiful snow on the ground for my birthday for the first time in a long time! At least 7 or 8 years.

For my birthday, I am skipping class and having lunch with Roman (he works at night) at the Moosewood Restaurant (hopefully it will be good, they aren't as vegan-friendly as you'd think) and my dad is paying, he called and arranged it. Yea!

I won't drop out of school because I take the secure route and it's my paycheck. But if I didn't have a stipend, I would seriously consider dropping out. Two years is a long time to wait for increased income potential. Luckily my degree will do more than that, but nothing I couldn't have learned about on my own.

Next week is Thanksgiving! And I think the last week of classes is 12/5, then 2 weeks for "finals week". I am so happy!!!!
