(Canadian) Thanksgiving Exercise :)

Hello Steemit!

This was a very unusual week for me. So many things have happened I could barely keep track.

Monday evening was the blues night. I went to see the sold-out show of an excellent musician Joe Bonamassa. I could not have picked a better concert to wrap up my 2017 concert list. I have bought the ticket long ago in the beginning of the summer and almost forgot about it when the school started. It was a fabulous evening in the Edmonton Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.

Here is one of the songs. 'No Good Place For The Lonely'

The week continued and there I was, back in my lab. On Wednesday I was determining the amount of Manganese in the steel sample. I believe it was the longest experiment we will be performing this semester - it took me and my partner full four hours to finish.
At least we got some pretty nice colors at the end.

Friday brought a bit more relaxing atmosphere when me and my boyfriend attended the Thanksgiving dinner that International Students Club organized. We had a lovely meal with other students where we met a few new people and were reminded that we are not alone in hard and the nice times.
It was a nice start of a long Thanksgiving weekend.

This week we also had a few snow flakes. This was a harsh realization that with the end of harvesting season also comes snow and winter.

Rest of the week was spent in a cozy living room covered with blankets like the kitty below. Best part!

Just this week I have at least 9 things to be thankful for:

• listening to Joe Bonamassa performing live
• learning more chemistry
• eating delicious Thanksgiving dinner(s)
• staying healthy during the flu season
• daily morning cup of coffee
• supporting boyfriend
• understanding and kind parents
• working vehicle
• (often forgotten) excellent internet accessibility

And the last 10th thing I am grateful for this week is surpassing 500 followers.

I know that not all 506 of you are able to see my posts in the sea of all the great posts you are bombarded with every day. However, I appreciate everyone on the other side of the blockchain. Only together we will build and improve the Steemit community.

I am still glad to be a part of it!

Make sure you do not forget about your little daily miracles that make your day less stressful.

And finally - Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadians! Enjoy the last day of the long weekend :)
