I am not someone who appreciates people around her enough. I am as bad at giving out compliments as I am at dealing with compliments given to me. But it's Thanksgiving, and I currently reside in a country which celebrates this festival with food, family and an insane amount of shopping. You can't help but get into the holiday spirit.
Although this is super late, I am thankful for my parents. My parents are pretty darn awesome, sending me this far and letting me study what I want and sending me food all the time! If it wasn't for them , I wouldn't be here. Duh. Also my sister, I have been fighting with her some 22 years now, but only I get to do that and that doesn't make her any less awesome.
And I am thankful for sugar and caffeine. Two things that keep me going during finals week.Along with my roommate. We nag each other to study, which is a very effective study strategy. Also my friends, you know who you are, for being complete idiots, just like me.
I am thankful for being born a girl, in a family where I was never told I couldn't do it because I was a girl. I am thankful for having the culture and traditions I grew up with. Where do you think my awesome Kathiawadi accent comes from? Which has me pronouncing Africa in a real funny way, but I like it! It is a reminder of where I come from, who I am, and where will I go back to. Never ever forget where you come from.
I am also thankful for the amazing people I have met at Rutgers, the people I have worked with and am working with. My Rutgers experience wouldn't have been the same without all of you!
I am definitely not thankful I have to give a ton of finals in the next couple of weeks. But you gotta do what you gotta do, which unfortunately includes exams and papers.
I am also super super thankful for the new kindle! This should help me get started on the 100 or so books on my to-read list.
