Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving
break was greatly needed this year for a couple of reasons. Firstly, to see family. Secondly to catch up on homework. Every year my parents, my brother, my wife
and I head out to good ole' Orange County, Indiana to my mother's aunt's house
to celebrate Thanksgiving. About twenty
to thirty family members show up every year.
This is the only time my family gets together so everyone tries to show
up. Now that I'm married though, I get
to go to two Thanksgiving dinners. This
is great because now I get to see double the family I used to see and I get
double the food. The only downside to
this is that I have to leave my family's get together way to early now. I guess this is just a perk to being married.
The
second reason was so that I could catch up on homework... Or so I told myself. Since my brother was home from school as
well, he wanted to hang out as much as possible. This could have only meant one thing... more
procrastination. I kept telling myself
that I would be ok and kept pushing stuff off until the next day. Eventually Sunday night came and... well you
can guess... I did not get done what I told myself I was going to do.
I
did learn a couple of things this Thanksgiving break, however.
1. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
I tell myself every year
to not procrastinate, but every year, I procrastinate. Funny how that
works. Maybe it has something to do with
being an architecture
student.
The
second was
2. Family is the most important
thing in life.
Having to chose between
homework and family was tough. I kept
telling my brother
and parents that I could not hang out because I had to much homework to get done. I always felt bad after telling them that
because, I did not get to see them
as much as I would have liked.
I
hope that these things that I learned over break, push me through the end of
this semester, and on through the next two.
I need a big push, because I am ready to move on from school and start
in the real world. Until next time,
Happy Thanksgiving!
