今天一整天盡在忙瑣碎的事情。拖延怠惰的毛病還是改不了。更新了上週欠的部落格文章、洗衣服洗碗、聽了一篇很有意思有關連續殺人犯腦部結構研究的演講。日子能夠一直這樣多好。
星期二
開車前往咖啡店，預計要在咖啡店好好唸書，誰知抵達目的地才發現居然沒帶錢包！念在待在家裡肯定瞎混的份上，只好認命地開車回家拿了錢包再開回咖啡店。花了雙倍的交通時間，但至少有花時間認真工作，算是值得了。
星期三
早上抵達哥倫布市後，直奔馬克和我最愛的Northstar。他們的鬆餅與比斯吉在我們心中的地位至今仍無可動搖，其他的食物飲料也都有超水準的表現。基本上一天三餐在那兒解決我們也不膩。早餐後心滿意足的我們前往以前經常待著唸書的咖啡館Stauf's工作。買了最愛的調味咖啡豆，然後又在隔壁的知名冰淇淋店Jeni's分食好吃的冰淇淋。以前習慣吃的口味都沒見到，但新口味依舊讓人讚賞！在Cheesecake Factory和朋友短暫聚餐後，就前往馬克姊姊家。晚上應馬克姊姊姊夫要求煮了台式料理。我做了三杯雞、黑胡椒洋蔥牛柳和蒜燒四季豆。既然要吃台式料理，當然要用筷子才道地囉！
星期四
火雞節就是今天！早上馬克忙著烤賀喜巧克力餅乾，我則被他趕回房間工作。下午馬克的爸爸媽媽也抵達馬克姊姊家。大伙兒閒聊打牌玩狗玩小孩，四點鐘火雞烤好感恩節晚餐正式開動！
星期五
今天我們要啓程回密西根了。先去另一家我們的愛店Tasi享用早餐，他們的法式吐司是目前為止我最喜歡的！用完餐後依照慣例逛逛Tiger Tree，才正式上路。開了約三分之二的路程，抵達安娜堡。安娜堡的Cafe Zola是我們每去必造訪的餐廳，這次選擇去他們新開的Zola Bistro。基本上兩家店的菜單是一樣的，餐點也有一定的水準。拜訪完行程最後一站Trader Joe's，感恩節假期正式劃下句點。
Monday
As usual, did everything but research. Updated my blog which was supposed to be done last week, did laundry, washed dishes, and listened to a talk about a neuroscientist's research about the brains of serial killers. How I wish that life can be just like this.
Tuesday
In order to increase efficiency, I planned to study in the coffee house. As soon as I arrived, I realized that I left my wallet at home! Since there wouldn't be any progress if I stayed at home, I drove back, got my wallet, and went back to the coffee house again. Even though I spent double time on transportation, at least I got something done.
Wednesday
We went straight toward our favorite Northstar Cafe as soon as we got in Columbus. Their Cloud Nine Pancake and biscuits are not replaceable in our heart. Other foods and drinks are amazingly delicious as well. We totally have no problem having three meals a day at Northstar. After lunch, we went to Stauf's, where we used to study, to work and to get flavored coffee beans Love Portion #9. Next stop is Jeni's Ice Cream. It seemed like the favors were totally different from before. We tried some new flavors, and Mark was really satisfied with Brambleberry Crip. Had a short gathering with friends at Cheesecake Factory, we headed Makr's sister's house, where we will stay for two night. Per hosts' request, I cooked Taiwanese dinner. I made three cup chicken, onion and beef in black pepper sauce, and pan-fried green beans. Of course, chopsticks are a necessity when having Taiwanese food.
Thursday
Turkey day! Mark was busy making Hershy's cookies. I was instructed to stay at the room working on my research. Mark's parents arrived after lunch. In the afternoon we did nothing but chatted, played card games, played with Matthew and Charlie. At 4 o'clock the turkey was done and started the thanksgiving feast!
Friday
Due to lots of work and I had to drive back to Iowa, We left for Michigan today. Before leaving Columbus, we first visited another beloved restaurant, Tasi, to have breakfast. Their french toast is my favorite in the world. Then we visited another store Tiger Tree. They usually have unique and interesting products. We stopped at Ann Arbor on the way back. Cafe Zola is our must visit restaurant in Ann Arbor. It is very popular, and sometimes you have to wait for 40 minutes to get a seat. We chose to have lunch at their new restaurant Zola Bistro. Basically these two restaurants serve the same menu. Zola Bistro is more spacious, but we preferred the atmosphere at Cafe Zola. After lunch, we visited Trader Joe's and ended our thanksgiving break.
