With only three weeks of school to go this semester, my daily countdown begins!
Thanksgiving Day is also coming up quickly. This weekend we are going to my in-law's home to celebrate the holiday. It's been a long time since we've seen them last. In fact, it was when they came down here for the day about 6 weeks ago. It'll be good to see them again.
Does anyone have a good recipe for pineapple pie? It's my favorite, even though I've only had one slice of it in my life, and that was in a small cafe down in San Antonio, Texas when I was visiting a friend a few years back. Pineapple is my favorite fruit, and it now goes into my favorite pie, but I have yet to find a good pineapple pie recipe.
Well, good luck with studying for finals, and remember not to get too lax with the holidays coming up!

BLAH WEEK
This has been one of those blah weeks. You know, just doing the same-old, same-old. I blame the weather for the weird, slow feeling. It's been overcast, but deceptively warm here. My eyes say, "dress warm" while my temperature regulator says, "shorts!"
The end of the semester is getting closer. The ending chapters of textbooks are coming up, and teachers are trying to cram one or two more essays in before it gets to a point where studying hours overtake homework hours. Registration is now pretty much open for most, and next semester's classes look promising.
November and December activities will be combined into one continuous activity through the end of November and through the rest of the time that classes will be held in December. We are combining with CEU's service center in an Angel Tree program, and possibly a separate drive for clothing, books, toys, etc. on the USU-Price campus. Details are still being worked out, but I think it will be a great opportunity for fellow Aggies here to show the community that they are involved.

Fall Colors
Fall has been heralded in with the coming of a new president! New changes and new seasons await, and we all hope that neither one gets too icy!
We're 3/4 the way through the semester, and it always seems that the last 6 weeks go by pretty fast, but the seasonal holidays seem to stunt the motivations for homework. Now is the time to make sure you're buckled down and not getting lax.
My mother and grandmother are going to California next week. I wanted to go with them (they're visiting an aunt there), but couldn't afford the academic price. There's no way I would be able to keep up with the required homework for that week. Oh, well. Maybe next time.
It's been getting colder and colder. I'm glad I'm in Price this year rather than Logan (no offense, Loganites!), as it's a lot warmer here. I recently got word that the North has a few feet of snow, while we've still got temperatures in the 50's with no snow, but a bit of chilly wind.
I haven't even thought about the November activity... I should get working on that. I've found that combining USU activities with the more popular community activities works a lot better than doing activities alone. FYI. We had a pretty good turnout at the October activity, but it was geared more towards those students with small children, and I'd like to have more activities which are friendly to all age groups.
I've finished a resource list of scholarship opportunities for the Price students. I'm really hoping it will help students to be able to find scholarships and school funding a little easier. I know I'll be taking advantage of some of these resources; I hope others will, too.
