I'm hosting this Thanksgivings Day dinner tomorrow evening, and sort of stressing out about cooking the turkey.  A bunch of people suggested I brine the turkey before baking it, so I read through 10 million websites about it, come up with a recipe and a plan, and despite not having a big pot to put the turkey plus brine in, I figured I'd improvise.

By using an oven bag.  You know, the kind used to actually cook the turkey in? 
Not a good idea. Not a good idea at all. )

In theory, I'm glad to be here at university, obtaining my Masters degree in Geochemistry.  Glad to be working on bettering myself and gaining a stronger understanding of my chosen field of study.  Glad to be working towards the career I'd like to - theoretically - spend the rest of my life doing.  Even glad to be avoiding the real world by hiding in university a little bit longer.

But there are some days, where I just want to say 'Screw-It', and go back to bed. 

I just keep telling myself that someday I'll be finished, I'll have a real job and a real life.



And then I'm sure I'll be wishing I was still in school, avoiding that whole 'real world' thing.  ;)  That'll probably be about when I decide to go do that PhD  I keep telling everyone there's no way in hell I'll ever do.  :D
