Thanksgiving Break

My Thanksgiving break was pretty much great. It was just what I needed after a long bout of school. I was getting awfully tired of everything and just needed to get away for a little bit. And get away is what I did.

Wednesday was sort of a relax day and then the Thanksgiving was on. My dad picked me and my sister up on Thursday morning and together we drove to my cousins’ house in Louisville. When we arrived, I immediately began playing basketball in the freezing drizzle that was the weather that day. After about an hour and a half of that, I came inside and, with my family, said grace and began eating a seemingly small Thanksgiving dinner (not small as in small, but small for our usual dinner). Don’t get me wrong. It was grrrrreat! But I just wasn’t really that hungry, which was sort of a downer for both me and my aunt, haha.

About two hours after dinner, my whole family decided to go see “The Blind Side.” We arrived at one movie theater, walked up to the ticket booth, and found out their next showing was sold out and the earliest one was almost two hours later. Needless to say, we drove to another theater. This one also entailed a wait, but not as bad – only about an hour. In their theaters there are bars and grills and restaurants! Is this not crazy? Anyway, I played a few arcade games with my cousin and sister and then went and found my seat in the movie. This movie was amazing. I won’t ruin it for those who haven’t seen it, but a definite recommended watch. After the movie, I stayed up till about two in the morning shooting some pool and the bull.

That Friday we said goodbye to our gracious hosts and I drove my sister and my dad back home. From then until Sunday, I pretty much just got some well deserved rest, and watched the ‘Cats get their hearts ripped out in Commonwealth by Tennessee.

Sunday, my mom came early to pick up my sister and I because my dad had to drive to Michigan for work that night. I came home, and went straight to Hannah’s house to film my Spanish project with her and Nick. That was pretty cool I guess. Then I came home, and realized I had homework, and the school cycle began again.
