Thanksgiving Break

All I can say is thank God for Thanksgiving break! I need this break more than anyone else I know. For some reason, this school year has just been so difficult. I’ve never had a difficult time being in class and doing my school work. I love learning and being in class, but not this semester. I am so happy this semester is over soon. My classes are fun and don’t bother me. I’m just not into doing the work.

I have so much work to do over break. It’s not even going to be like ill be on break. I wish I had a free day off, but I don’t. I tried to do my work on Saturday morning, but I got absolutely no where with it. I stared at it wishing it would finish by itself. I have to read, finish my story, and write a short-short for English class. I have to finish a chemistry lab. My chemistry lab is so difficult to do. Dan, a guy in my lab, who is a teacher’s helper or something like that, said the lab was even hard for him to do. That doesn’t make me feel too comfortable about having to do it by myself. I have to finish my biology lab. I have to do a lot of research for it. Thankfully, it won’t be too hard once all the research is done. I have to watch a movie for my religious studies class, read chapter 11 in the book, and write an essay on a movie of my choice that goes along with my religion class.

This is not a lot amount of work to do, but this is not what I want to do while I’m on break. I just want to do absolutely nothing for a week. I want to sit on my couch and catch up on episodes of The Big Bang Theory and Supernatural.

I hope this week I can start running again. I really miss running and working out and trying to stay in shape. I think my energy levels will go up and I will be able to hopefully get my school work done instead of waiting until the very last minute. I’ve never been the student to wait until the last minute, but I’m slacking this semester.

On a sadder not, Friday around three o’clock, I got an email about a kid that just graduated in May 2011, who died. It is absolutely horrible that he died. I didn’t personally know Kevin, but he was still a part of the Penn State community. It is a shame. I can’t imagine what his family is going through right now. Death always seems to strike when the holidays roll around. I will pray for him and his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

I couldn’t imagine losing anyone that I’m close to. I thank the Lord every day for the blessings in my life.
