Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was really good, was nice to get out of Flagstaff and go somewhere warm, ie. Phoenix. It's now well below freezing in Flag except it's dry cold so I don't notice it so much then I nearly catch hypothermia by sitting outside in the cold at 9.30pm with my friends waiting to see "Harry Potter". Ending up in hospital really isn;t on the to do list right now especially since I have to pay and stuff.

The meal was basically like a British Christmas dinner - turkey tastic! I made sure I took a smaller portion yet I still felt absolutely stuffed afterwards! Everyone around the table had to say stuff that they were thankful for, luckily nobody really minded what you said (I believe I was thankful I still had all of my toes). The pumpkin pie we had for pudding was much nicer than the pumpkin pie I had helped to make with the find a family people a few weeks ago - bonus!

Whilst down in Phoenix, we also went to see "Rent" with Zach and Eric. I'm not usually a musical type person but I really liked it. Zach and Eric, who are both Musical Theatre majors, both said that they liked it and they are fans of "Rent". We also went on a mall crawl the day after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest American shopping days of the year. We only managed two malls and I wasn't really in a shopping mood but it was good fun anyway. Zach and Eric hosted a mini fiesta on the friday night which was really cool, got very drunk though so I can't remember much. I do remember the entire room breaking into song at one point (everyone there was a music student except me, Antonia and Amber).
