By defense I don't mean the chant they yell at basketball games... I had my Ph.D. defense this past Monday (Nov. 22nd) and I passed! My family flew in as well as good childhood friend, Thaidra, former co-worker, Jacopo, and my boyfriend, Clark. They made it a special experience. After my talk we went to my favorite hibachi grill. Then we played some games back at the house. The game session relieved some interesting opinions people have on issues. For example, one of the questions was, "if what one issue could be enforced the world would be a safer place?" My sister put legalizing marijuana, thaidra put no guns, Clark put safety belt enforcement (partly b/c I never wear mine), I put no robbery (partly b/c I never lock my stuff). There is no denying if weapons were removed the world would be safer. After the game time we ate some more! My church friends had a thanksgiving potluck.
After Thaidra and Clark left, I had thanksgiving #2. My roommate, Melodie, invited me over to Beaumont for Thanksgiving again. It was absolutely delish! Her family is so funny and lively too.
