The Day Before Thanksgiving Break

It seemed like a normal day at the time, the sun was shining, the waves crashed on the shore, steady and reassuring. I did a lot of thinking that day. I thought of my future, of what I wanted to accomplish in life.Only now I realize that it wasn’t a normal day at all. It was the day I decided to graduate early.

On a Sunday afternoon, I was sitting in the library, exhausted with two textbooks laying on the desk, unopened. Evidently, I was not doing anything productive because I could not bring myself to open my textbooks and review for my two tests tomorrow. Ten minutes passed by and I decided I needed to walk around to clear my mind before I dive into my studies. As time passed by, I continued to roam the second floor of the library and down the stairs to the first floor of the library. I wandered over to the research center of the library and walked up and down the aisles until I stumbled over a

About a week before Thanksgiving The Magalia Community Church hosts a free turkey dinner for anyone who would like to attend. The Church was built in 1896 and most of the people that go to this annual event are from that era.

It was a few days before thanksgiving, my mom decided that we should volunteer downtown at the food drive to help people who didn’t have enough food for the holidays, selfishly didn’t want to, and I thought there are some many better ways to spend my weekend than at a soup kitchen. I begged and begged to my mom if I could stay home or do something more fun, she refused and lectured me about helping people less fortunate than myself and how much it can change people’s life, I recently agreed.

Thanksgiving is the biggest and most anticipated of all American holidays. It is observed every last thursday of November. This holiday marks the beginning of the holiday season. Sarah Josepha Hale asked President Lincoln in 1863 to make Thanksgiving a holiday. When she did this Josepha helped unite Americans through the tough civil war. In 1941 the US Congress set the date of Thanksgiving to the fourth thursday in November to avoid confusion.

Hi I’m Mollie, and I am 17 years old. Right now It’s Friday 6th period, the last period of the day and I was just sitting staring at the wall. I was starting to doze as I hear, RINNNGG, the bell goes that signals the end of the day. I was so happy math was over because it’s Friday, and a 2 day vacation awaited, but of course I had to go to the Library because my mom couldn’t get out of work to come pick me up. As I got to the Library I see this interesting book, and for some reason it was glowing, but settle so you couldn’t see it. I didn’t want to go over to check it out now so I just found a comfy chair and started studying for my test on Tuesday. As I’m studying I see the glow a little more now, and for some reason I was really anxious to go check it out.

Thanksgiving,turkey,ham. you’re having a beautiful and then you look out side to the neighbors already putting up decorations for christmas. you think in you’re mind “why are they doing this so early”. Don’t you are not the only one is saying this.

If you are dreading this fine Monday morning (and the beginning of the work week) let me offer up some fantastic news. It’s a short work week as Thanksgiving is only a few days away. The bad news? The relatives are probably coming to have dinner on Thursday. Not to worry! With so many TV marathons slated over this long weekend, there is a good chance you can find yourself a comfy chair and a binge watch with the only interaction being commercial breaks.

1. Deep in the woods there was an old abandoned mine. The mine was over taken by nature and overgrown. It was shut down in 1932 after it collapsed and killed ten miners. The mine is now closed off with a chain fence. People say that you can still hear the miners smashing their pickaxes against the rocks.

Three days before Thanksgiving Day I lost someone very special to me, due to a terrible sickness. She had Dementia, Diabetes, and two major strokes I was very close to that person. I would always go to her house once a month. When my family wasn 't busy I would spend every waking minute I could with her. She was like my best friend. She was a very godly woman, she would sometimes sing hymns and I would sing with her then we would laugh after words. Every time I go there I just loved seeing her smile at me. Maya Angelou once said that “ No matter what happens or how bad it seems today life does go on and it will be better tomorrow.”

Hey guys it's Haley, and we are back to school once again. I honestly think that they spoiled us with a whole week of school, but I guess I was happy to be off school... Anyway, within the break it was Thanksgiving, so let me just say my family is quite odd. Last Thanksgiving my cousins tricked me into eating a turkey heart, (I didn't actually eat it though) but they still teased me about it. The teasing continued all the way to this Thanksgiving, and it had to stop. Luckily enough, there was no heart in the turkey this year, but they still continue to tease me. So, I still continue to get picked on even though that occurred over a year ago. This is like a non-ending teasing game, but at least I have some things held against them. Alright,

1. No matter how hard we try to prepare ourselves for challenging experiences and try to stay positive, it becomes harder to do than planned when the time comes. It was the end of the last semester and I was on the verge of emotional depression that totally overwhelmed me. During the exam period, I wasted my weekends on the Internet, chatting and Facebook-ing. I needed to submit an important paper on Tuesday morning. On Sunday night, after wasting so much time of mine and having a little red eyes because of so much exposure to electronic screens, I sat down to write my paper. Only then did I realize that the paper was due the next morning, not on Tuesday. I was extremely nervous because it was too little a time to finish it. Moreover, I was so angry with myself that I wanted to cry. It was a realization that I was off course in my study habits and that I had not overcome my habit of willingly putting myself in difficult positions. The more I thought about being in that mess, the angrier I got with myself. I got even angrier thinking about how it was not the first time in my life that I put myself in such a situation. I could not concentrate on my paper because of that emotional response. Then suddenly I thought that I just needed to talk to someone and calm down. I called my classmate and just told her about everything. She said that the instructor had actually extended the deadline until Thursday. It was such a relief. I thanked her profusely and decided

To start, the walk to the library is relaxing and peaceful. I decided to go to the library on September 21st for a college assignment. While walking to the library I was intrigued by the many things that were going on around me. I saw a mailman riding on a bicycle delivering mail which was something that I’ve never seen before. Also, something that was very surprising to me was that there was a group of children running behind an ice-cream truck which was a single block in front of me. I found this very amusing and I continued to watch until they were out of sight. It made me think about when I was little and what I used to do when I heard the ice cream truck come around my house. After walking for quite a bit of time I began to feel tired and dehydrated. I began to wish I had chased after the ice cream truck and got an ice cream to it, but it was gone already. I normally don’t walk to the library so I guess that was the reason I was so easily tired. I decided to buy a drink from the local corner store to regain some of my energy.

On the weekday, September 8th, I had no plans other than to go to my 11:00 a.m. class and to make the hour-long drive to go to my home town later that night. I had no middle of the day plans, so I spent my day relaxing and watching internet shows on Netflix. Later, I took some time to text my stepfather, because my car broke down. Once I got my car mobile, I sang along to the radio while I drove home. A week later, September 17th on a weekend day, I used the same types of media again. I spent a few hours watching Netflix, until I became motivated to study for the exams I had to take the next day. Then I studied for the rest of the day, using google to help me define and look up information. Late that night I song along to the radio while I shower and decided to keep it playing as I fell asleep.

After Christmas, Russ and I were scheduled to meet up with our RV group for New Years, at an RV park, located on the way back to Tucson, and celebrate. The day we left to meet up with them, Russ asked if I minded just driving home! That was the last time we used the RV. We didn't go away for our anniversary, as planned, despite the fact he had always wanted to go to Camp Pendleton's RV park, on the beach. In fact, the RV was sold by the end of February. Apparently, Russ realized what I'd been worried about the whole time—the driving, set up/tear down, and maintenance was tiring him out to the point of not being able to function. Even though I was never a fan, I'm still sad that he had to give up the RV.
