Anyways, today I'm going to write about Thanksgiving break and how fantastic of a time it really is. It's a very close second in my favorite breaks (out of three...) behind Winter break. It's just so perfect getting away for a week right when the academic grind starts to get really tough. Obviously, the food on Thanksgiving can't be beat either, it's just superb. Hanging around the extended family, with drinks, food and football is just something that can't be beat. I'm especially excited for this Thanksgiving to just talk to all of my family members and brag and boast and tell stories about Virginia Tech. My conversations last year were mostly along the lines of, "OH, Andrew how's RPI?" "It's okay, really tough." "Yeah I bet, and it's cold up there too, how's lacrosse?" "It's hard too, we've had a lot of snow and sub twenty degree weather". Something like that. I wasn't completely set on transferring at that point but it was a thought, so I wasn't extremely enthusiastic about it all. But this year's going to be different and I can't wait. And because of Summer classes it's been a while since I've gotten to spend time at home or with my friends so that's exciting as well. I'm even leaving early on Thursday with a friend of mine to spend some time visiting friends at UVA, so that'll be fun as well. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving break!

It sounds like you're going to have a great break. Spending time with family and getting away from this place is a must at some points. The best part is you get to go home, relax a little before exams, and eat as much food as you can eat till you hate yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the schedule, I will definitely be referring to that! That's so awesome that you're excited to brag about Tech, I can totally tell you love it which is so cool! Hope you enjoy the time with your family, and eat lots of food!! :) Have a safe break, and talk trash to those UVA friends haha!!
