Give thanks!


Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Today, Tuesday, November 20, marks the official start of our Thanksgiving break. Some students will be traveling out of state (and therefore battling the heavy traffic at the airports), some will be staying in Chicago to spend time with family or friends, and some will be traveling to celebrate with a family via a home-stay program. Look out for posts about some of the international students' experiences with their home-stay families.

Last night, some of us had a little pre-thanksgiving dinner of our own. It was a great time and a great break from a busy couple of weeks. A few of brought the traditional dishes: turkey and gravy, stuffing, candied yams, pumpkin pie, and apple pie.

We all look forward to the next couple of days and look forward to hearing about our fellow students' Thanksgiving festivities. As we head to our respective destinations, we would all like you wish you a happy holiday!
(I know you were curious, so yes, we will continue to post while away from Northwestern. :) )
