A Race Against Time
Down to the last 24 hours of NaNoWriMo, so did I make the race against time?
Food for Thought
Since this is my second to last post of November and Thanksgiving itself is over, I’m going to do something a little different.

Without Friday classes today, this is the official start of my Thanksgiving break. Working here on campus means a lot of things, including having to work one of our breaks; looks like Nick and I are sticking around here until Wednesday.
