How is your Thanksgiving break so far?

Mine hasn't started yet, but I'm leaving campus tomorrow I can't wait to see my siblings. But i'm also kind of upset too since I don't really want to leave here. I can't really sleep right now, cus I just feel really bad for some reason. Hopefully it'll go away tomorrow. Planning to finally play pokemon online with people and do fun stuff since the internet at university isn't compatible with 3DS's. I tried to spell check pokemon and it actually came up as a real word but capitalized.

JUst wanna know how you basilers are~ Keep me company for the two seconds you'll take posting?

I already had my Thanksgiving (I'm Canadian).
What I'm doing now is waiting for Black Friday sales so that I can blow my money.

Too bad RED isn't happening during this break...
Yeah mine just started tonight basically.
I'm gonna play Battlefield 4 and Maple and guitar and I have no idea what else. I wonder if I hang out with people the least out of anyone at my school...because I like never hang out with anyone.

@cool123ter it just shows how much of a no life person you are by starting a pointless argument on BASIL and you honestly are just
making yourself look like the stereotypical asshole basiler that likes to start arguments

My boyfriend, our roommate, and I are cooking an early Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night for about 10 of our friends from college that aren't able to go home for the holidays. This is our second year doing this, and we're hoping to outdo last year's dinner (which was really good). I'm making turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, apple pie, and sangria, and the other two are making lamb, tri-tip, pumpkin cheesecake, and pumpkin Nutella pie. I'm also going to make use of my empty wine bottles by turning them into candle holders for my centerpiece.

Other than that, I'm probably gonna go to my hometown for a day or two to see my friends and family back home.

Awh, :C Sorry to hear about everyone's finals and papers and exams and stuff, but I know you'll be able to push through since you've lasted up until now, you competitive overachieving people. :> Good luck to you all~ I have an art project and a 12 page term paper for philosophy to work on too, xD but it's not as bad as all you guys, since I had my Ochem exam yesterday, so none of that to worry about over break for me.

@Infinities Awh, Will you be going home for winter break at least? Good luck on your test! What are you learning now? o:

@NonSonoFronz Lucky! I wish I could've gone home earlier but I have a class today until 4. Papers are the worst for me since i'm easily distracted. Things that should've taken an hour will end up taking me a whole day. D: Try just thinking about random bits of material for your exam throughout your week. Not constantly, but having your mind on it will have you better prepared mentally, or at least it works for me. Calc should be easy since it's most likely busy work after you get the concepts down!
You're awesome! I know you can do all that and be with your family.

I got out of my last class at 12:15 and I'm waiting for my mom to pick me up at 4.
So I'm just chilling until then.

My break is going to be mehh. I have two papers to write, a final exam on Monday when classes start back up, then my calc professor is giving us three assignments.
Yayyyy. Why would I spend my Thanksgiving with my family? That would just be silly.

Real Thanksgiving was in October, and we only get one day.

But next week is our last week before exams, so the crunch is almost on.

@kat999 That's still good though if you want to earn some money right? Hope you'll at least get some kind of break.
@MapleFlow Omg, I read your sentence wrong, haha. I hope you have fun in Vegas then And thank you!
@Wanton I used to sleep a lot during breaks too, but I always feel like I'm wasting time that I could've spent doing something else. D: At least you'll have some free time? Maybe set some goals for break~ I never was a holiday person in general, so it's just a day off for me.

@MapleFlow I know! It isn't. One week goes by really quickly, even more so when I have a ton of schoolwork to worry about, and I can't even enjoy break anymore. Vacations kind of mess me up too, since I'm so used to having school in my schedule.
Have fun in Vegas in 5 years though Hope you come home with more money than when you go.

Mine is going okay so far. I fell like 1 week isn't enough for me though. To be honest, I really didn't want vacation, I get more crap from school to do in just a little bit of time. Well, at least i'm going to Vegas after 5 years.

@Bellocanist Haha, I think I would've preferred it a month ago, since now there's this awkward gap near the end of semester for me, and after break there's one week until finals, which is kind of annoying.

Good luck on your exams though, you'll probably do awesome. Uni is actually pretty relaxing and stress-free for me, despite the homework and exams and stuff, I just feel a lot more stressed out at home, so I guess that's part of the conflict, but seeing family is nice. ^^ And yes POkemonnnn ;^; will probably rob me of sleep since I have no reason to force myself to sleep for the next few days.

@goldyboi That's nice Thanksgiving dinner was never really a big deal to me since we always ate the same food we always have, just more. That's probably exactly what i'll be doing too though. D: Gotta work on my final paper for philosophy.
