<p>It’s been a month since my move-in at Georgetown. Still haven’t forgotten about CC, but things have been rather fast-paced and time goes by very fast! (I can’t believe it’s drawing near to the end of September).</p>
<p>Classes are great, work is, um, work, and Georgetown is all-in-all a great place. Still awaiting the results of the Mock Trial tryout that took place this week, but if that doesn’t work out, plenty of other things to do here on the Hilltop.</p>
<p>I’m actually posting to drop by and say hello, but also to gather some opinions on what I should do for Thanksgiving. A friend of mine from our floor and another HS friend up at Bowdoin are staying on the East Coast for Thanksgiving (quite frankly, it wouldn’t be worthwhile). </p>
<p>However, our dining hall will be closed for the duration of Thanksgiving, though I think the Residence Hall is going to stay open. What should we do in the meantime?</p>
<p>Well, Andrew, I think you should come HERE!!! <em>lol</em> We definitely know how to feed people around here, what with my six kids and assorted boyfriends, girlfriends, and plain ol’ friends around constantly!</p>
<p>It is SO great to hear from you! I am glad that things are going well at Georgetown and that you are happy with your college choice.</p>
<p>I hope the mock trial works out for you. That would be so exciting!</p>
<p>I am sure that you will be able to work out some fun and interesting Thanksgiving plans…but my invitation is a standing one! love, ~berurah
:)</p>
<p>Hey there- glad to know things are going well. Thanksgiving wide open sounds kind of nice actually! As far as plans go…does anyone have a car??? My kids and I vacation a lot in that area but you would need wheels. </p>
<p>DDs Gtown ap is nearing completion. She is getting a bit nervous and should be having an alum interview soon. We are planning a visit in late October and look forward to having the chance to sit in on class.</p>
<p>Nice to hear from you Andrew. My S will be inviting his roommie home for Thanksgiving (I better get cracking on recipes!).<br>
I gather that, for you, the issue is how to feed yourself over the four days of Thenksgiving rather than the dinner itself. Do you have a kitchen you can use to make breakfast and an occasional lunch and/or dinner? I am sure many many other Gtown students must be in the same boat as you, so it might be a good idea to talk to your Dean of Freshmen and director of dining services. Some colleges will keep one dining venue open. As for Thanksgiving dinner, maybe a local friend will invite you over for the dinner, or maybe you and others can celebrate at a nice restaurant?</p>
<p>S was in the same situation as you his first year. He was supposed to go to a friend’s house for T day but friend’s mom got sick and had to be taken to the hospital. He ended up living on ramen noodles and other foods he could heat up in the res hall for the weekend. If you have access to a microwave, you could get a frozen turkey dinner! Better yet, how about volunteering to serve dinner at a local shelter?</p>
