Thanksgiving Food

I am really excited about next Thursday because of all the amazing food I get to eat. Every Thanksgiving my family travels to my gradmothers house two hours away. Our whole family is there and everyone brings in some type of dish. Of course my gradmother fixes the turkey and stuffing. I think my favortite dish is stuffing with some mashed potatoes and brown gravy. After we stuff ourselfs with food we usually talk or watch football. Sometimes we go outside and start our own backyard football game.

Rain

Rain means several things to me. It usually means that I won't be able to play any sports or hangout with my friends. Activitys might have to be moved indoors or completely canceled. Rain brings much needed refeshment to our crops which is our livelyhood. Rain can be a wanted during a hot day at soccer practice or doing chores around the farm. But rain can make us sad and depressed compared to a bright shinny day.

Open Season

Tomorrow, November 14, is the opening day of Deer season. To me this is very important because I love to hunt. There are so many things about hunting that makes me enjoy it. Waking up at 3 am so you can get to that lucky spot before the deer. Trudging through mud and creek beds getting to your deer stand. Practicing and sighting in your gun all the week before in preparation and in anticipation. Sitting with a blind for hours with your best friend or your girl. That tingly feeling you get down your spine when a monster buck gets within range. Then that inter peace you get when you see him in your crosshairs, take a deep breath, and squeeze the trigger.

School Projects

I just did the English projects and I didn't really think it helped me learn more about the Canterbury Tales. The problem with projects is that it seems that every class assigns them at the same time and I have trouble getting them all done in time. I also feel that most people wait to start the projects until the night before and end up having a bad grade. It's hard getting a class's project done when the teacher gives no class time for it and gives daily homework on top of that.

Choices

My choices in life will affect people younger than me because I set an example. My little cousins might look at how I went to college and they might want to follow that same path. My childen will look at what I did with my life and education and do the same. If I went to college then they would not have an excuse to say, "Well dad you didn't go to college, why should I?" I want my choices to be good ones that I can be proud of.
