The food was delicious. I ate myself to oblivion, and went back to the dorm to celebrate Thanksgiving in style (10 people sitting around a dorm room). I couldn't actually go out, because (thanks CIEE!) I had to leave to re-apply for my visa at 7:45 the next morning. Got that taken care of though, so now I'm done with that.
My host family was invited, and it was a nice break to sit down with friends at a good, American-style dinner and not have to do anything other than talk and eat (my two favorite hobbies).
Friday was a good day. Some Ole Miss friends came in from Nanjing, and we went to the Boxing Cat for delicious food yet again (it may or may not be my third time to go this week).
Afterward, we went to Zeal Club. It was a lot of fun, and I got to hang out with my friends from home and my friends from Shanghai.
It's been so nice to spend this holiday with both new and old friends. This is the first time I've celebrated Thanksgiving without my family, and it's really demonstrated the importance of tradition.
This weekend has been great, though, and I'm excited to finish the semester off on a high note.
16 days!

Glad to see you had a good time with your friends and Aunt Pan and Uncle Zhou. I hope they enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner American style. It was my first Thanksgiving without all of my family with me too. But we still have so much to be thankful for. Looking for to the next 18 days passing very quickly. Love you and stay safe.
Oh yeah - by the way - GO DAWGS!!!!!!! (sorry)
