Thanksgiving in London

This was my first Thanksgiving outside of the States. I've always hated Thanksgiving, but now that there is no Thanksgiving, I was a bit sad! I'm the only American in my programme so I went to school and I was like "Happy Thanksgiving!" and everyone's like "It's Thanksgiving?" Very strange feeling...

Turkey was on the menu in the cafeteria at school for some reason, so I had some for lunch. Then for dinner, I went out to dinner with a couple of the other American girls in my hall. We went to an Italian restaurant, but we did the whole "What are you thankful for?" thing and talked about how much we hate Bush.

Lauren (from Atlanta), me, and Vanessa (Minneapolis).

Our Thanksgiving dinner.

Then I went to get drinks with my friend, Magda, who is Polish but went to American international school growing up so she wanted to do something Thanksgiving-y. So we got drunk and renacted a Thanksgiving skit. We took turns playing the turkey. (Gobble gobble!) Later that night, Magda's 48-year-old boyfriend came in from Portugal and we raided the Tesco and managed to find turkey slices and cranberry sauce and made Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches! Yay!

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for:
1. My friends and family
2. Having the opportunity to globetrot around the world (Thanks Dad!)
3. My Ugg boots which keep my feet warm
4. Vitamins

I missed my family and friends, though. Especially my little sister since we always go to Denny's on Thanksgiving. I'll be home for Christmas, though! Yay!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and I leave you with a Thanksgiving episode of Friends. I couldn't find the one I wanted (the first Thanksgiving episode where everyone can't go see their families and they end up spending Thanksgiving together and Chandler says "I'm thankful that all your Thanksgivings sucked.")
