That's what turkeys say before you cook them,

After that, they don't really say much. I hope everybody out there in Mounties land is having a good semester. I am kind of worn out because I have so much stuff going on. I thought it would be a good time to go through my classes and list all the stuff I have left. Turns out, it was way more than I thought. It's ok though, I've got a big Thanksgiving break to catch up with everything.

My family is in from New Orleans and I've been playing the part of "Human Jungle-gym" ever since they walked in the door. It's actually a really good work out, hits the arms, legs, and core. I just wish Eli wouldn't kick me so much. But I'm super excited for Thanksgiving. Turkey and potatoes and stuffing and gravy and pie and turkey and cranberries and turkey and turkey and turkey... Also, I'm a big sappy goof and I love to spend time with my family, which is the best part of any holiday. However, I'm still very focused on my school obligations.

Like being Santa Claus...That's right, the PSEA is now running Santa's Christmas Village for Christmas at the Mount. We don't have all the details worked out yet, but I do know that it is going to be awesome. Other than that, I've been proctoring tests, doing lesson plans, observing in local schools, and losing my mind; but just a little bit. That's one of my coping techniques for late semester stress. Well, I've got holiday stuff to deal with so I gotta run. I hope everybody out there has a good holiday and enjoys the spirit of the season. Destroy turkey and have a good Thanksgiving.

Lots of gravy on everything, I can't stress that enough!

DePiro Rules!
