THANKSGIVING!!

Thanksgiving is definitely not my favorite holiday but I still enjoy this day. It's a time that I get to spend time with the people who are closest in my life, my family, and am able to eat good food. I think that this year I looked forward to Thanksgiving so much more because of two things. The main reason I was exctied for Thanksgiving was to see my family and after my friend's misfortune, it just made me want to see them even more. It had been about three weeks since I had seen my family and I missed them a lot. The second reason I was looking forward to Thanksgiving was for the food because the food at Wartburg definitely does not compare to homemade meals. I ate so much that day. I might have gained my freshman 15 in one day (just kidding!). My grandma made the best spread of turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, different side salads, homemade rolls, and homemade pies. There was no way that I could pass all of this up so I had it all...in small portions of course.This break allowed me to spend a lot of valuable time with my family, create new memories of decorating the house for christmas, and get caught up on sleep. I didn't want to come back especially because I know these next two to three weeks are going to be stressful/busy ones. I know this because I have two final projects due, a speech, a normal exam, and two final exams. On top of all this work, I also have track practice everyday except Sunday and have to work at the pool. I can't wait until it's over and I am back at home for a three week break. Hope it comes fast. Wish me luck(:
