Time is a limiting resource

I've really been meaning to update my blog, since I haven't done that in about a week, but there never seems to be enough time.  Especially now, with the last two weeks of school and finals coming up, I really shouldn't be on the internet at all right now.  I should be doing homework and studying.  But for the sake of those who want to know what's going on in my life, I am procrastinating what really should be done.  
  
 Thanksgiving break was AWESOME!  It was so much fun seeing my long lost family (or at least my long distance family).  I don't know that I really caught up on much sleep or homework, but then realistically, I never expected to.  As for the rest of the trip that i have not yet written about, I can only remember two things worth talking about.  On friday night, Alyna and I taught Mom and Dad how to play Settlers of Catan while watching Scarlet Pimpernel.
 Alyna had a ridiculously good luck streak.  
On Saturday we went to this sweet music store (in some city I don't know the name of).  Of course, Alyna and I had much fun with the camera.

I flew home on Sunday, Nov 30.  I flew from Dusseldorf to Paris.  What an insane airport Charles De-Gaulle Paris airport is!  I had no idea what was going on and where to go, even though I could read the signs.  But everything worked out and I found my way around eventually.  The Paris-Salt Lake flight was 11h25m long!  Forever!  I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mamma Mia!, an office episode, studied for my class, read some Book of Mormon, slept for a couple of hours, and I have no idea what else.  I really liked Mamma Mia! and i've had ABBA songs stuck in my head ever since.  
  
Now I have to try to make use of the limited time that I have and get some homework done. Yikes.

That would be a long boring flight. I hope they fed you. I'm glad you had a good time over there.
