Last weekend was Thanksgiving and, for the first time, I wasn't home in PEI. I felt a little homesick but things perked up when I got together with friends for a non-traditional Thanksgiving potluck (although there was a lot of pie). It was really nice to get together and relax with close friends. It was a good break from the burden of schoolwork, too. School assignments and presentations are building up and I'm working hard at keeping my head above water until Christmas. Plus I found out yesterday that my PEI student loan is all messed up and I have to do all this stuff to prove that I'm actually incredibly poor. For some reason, they're convinced that I have $8000 in investments and $3000 of income during my study period. That's $11000 they've just made up and now I have to prove and explain why I don't have it! Thanks PEI.

I'm starting to plan my final internship for this summer. I'm hoping to do a six week placement in the Eastern Townships of Quebec (1 or 2 hours outside of Montreal) in a school setting, but the other six weeks are up in the air. I'll probably be going back to PEI to a similar setting that I did my practicum in last summer. I guess I don't mind that because it will be good experience in a population that I like. Plus it is pretty broad, which is apparently good for an internship. Employers want new graduates with broad experiences. Hey, I'm going to be a new graduate soon.

Halloween is coming up! I'm still thinking about costume ideas. I feel like I want to wear a cowboy hat. Maybe a sheriff? The only issue is that I don't have a cowboy hat. I'm sure that I could find one somewhere.
