Thanksgiving Break

So we're back from break. It didn't seem long enough did it? It was a mixed emotion break for me. It was fun...but at the same time it wasn't. Last time I wrote about waiting for Corbin to show up; well he didn't come that night but he came the next night. And as soon as he got up to my room in Richardson Towers, the stupid fire alarm went off! I was like are you kidding me!!! But now I'm kind of glad it did, because it caused my roommate and me and him to go out to dinner together. My roommate doesn't really like him, just because she's a good friend and she's trying to watch out for me...it's not because she doesn't like HIM....she just doesn't like him as my boyfriend. But since we had to go out to eat together, she got to meet him and spend a little time together and realized he's not as terrible as he seems. Well when we got back, we hung out for a little while and then went over to our friends house. Things were perfect the whole night. I hadn't seem my boyfriend in 5 weeks, and things were kind of difficult since we're on a break, but Saturday night was perfect. Well he went back home and then came back Tuesday. I hung out with him Tuesday night at his house and it was great again! I was thinking, wow this break was just what we needed! Thursday I went over to his house for Thanksgiving dinner because my parents were out of town. I hung out with his dad for a while because he was cooking dinner and Corbin and everyone else was getting ready. When Corbin came down he whispered to me "Em, have you ever had black people food for Thanksgiving?" I was like no! haha...it was different that's for sure. They had turkey, ham, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, potato salad, cranberry sauce, and collard greens. I got turkey and macaroni and cheese and stuffing. I had never had stuffing before, but I felt bad because everyone else had their plates piled high and I only had two things....because I didn't really like the rest....so I got stuffing, and it was actually really good! I was a little disappointed though because there were no rolls. I am definitely a bread girl. My grandmother makes homemade potato rolls every year and I eat about 30...so when they didn't have ANY bread, I was like WHAT?!?! Haha...but it was good. And I made a cheesecake for them since they invited me over and damn, I make a mean cheesecake. No lie. It was good. So anyways...after that I hung out with Corbin again and things just weren't as perfect as they had been the days before, so it was kind of disappointing. I think the mistake we made was hanging out so much, because we said we would be on a break until Christmas and we weren't really supposed to talk or see each other before then, so we kind of cheated. But you know, there aren't really defined rules when you're "on a break." It's difficult. But we talked Saturday night/Sunday morning until 6:30 am...just about everything...and I guess I'll just wait until Christmas break to see how things go. So I'm glad we got that break, and I'm already waiting for Christmas break to be here! I guess I'm just tired of school!
