Time to give and be thankful

Yep. Good times. Finished yet another week busier than the last in school, and now that Thanksgiving break has officially begun for Boise State students, I have some time to think again.

I helped out in Rake Up Boise this morning with part of the MSE club, and we had over 25 people turn out which finished two households (40+ bags on the first one, ~15 at the second)  in a little over an hour. Work goes quick when you have a work gang like that to help out. Among other random things to make me feel good during the day, I donated to the Idaho Food Bank and called in a lady's employee ID card that I found on the street. 

Been a good day of helping others as best as I can, when I am able, although I must admit that on behalf of my own projects, I didn't get all that much done today. I did have to replace my car's battery, though. After that I played a little guitar, toyed around with some new riffs, but I still haven't gotten around to recording anything new yet. I'm also eagery anticipating my two books that I ordered, so I can begin to read those, but I am confronted with the knowledge that as soon as this break is over the last three weeks of this semester are going to be a step above the previous kind of busy, yet again.

At any rate, I've been taking today to give myself a little bit of a rest, and to get ready for more fun and likely sleepless times ahead. Thankful for the respite, and glad to be able to give back to people who who deserve it just as much.

Vale!
