Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not officially celebrating Thanksgiving, and I had a full day of classes today, but I can still have a thankful attitude, nonetheless.
I had two presentations to give today. I only got to give 25% of that today, which means the rest is postponed til next week, and I'm bummed. I wish I could get them over with.
I have a short paper and something else due tonight, then another small paper due Sunday night, and then my large Vienna 1900 paper due Monday night.
However, Meg's coming tomorrow, so I'm not going to worry too much about them.

Also, I'm going to see Swan Lake on Monday! I'm very excited about that. It's in the Staatsoper, which is also near my house.

I'm going to take Meg to some of my favorite art museums, if she's up to it. We'll also go to the Christmas Markets.

Viennese people definitely know how to decorate their city for Christmas. Most of the major streets have large light fixtures strung across them. Near Stefansplatz, there are gigantic chandeliers and red ball lights hanging. A lot of other places have different kinds of christmas lights everywhere. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I feel that it can officially feel like Christmastime, although the Viennese have been getting into the Christmas spirit for several weeks now.

Happy Thanksgiving, a.k.a. Oppression of Native Peoples' Day!
