Alrighty, some things I found important to say. Turkey Break is from November 25 to November 27 plus the weekend. Remember several things about this holiday this year. That despite the financial hardships, despite your scuffles and fights, these people that will hopefully gather around the table with you this Thanksgiving are still your family, whatever that terms means to you. Basically, people who have compassion for you and will be with you to the end. And even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, every culture has a celebration of thanks or appreciation for their family. Remember what matters and it's not material things.
On a lighter note this Turkey Break is an opportunity to sleep! I don't know about you but for me MUCH SLEEPING will be going on. It's the snowball effect regarding sleeping in college. You stay up late one day, which means less sleep the next day and then you stay up late another night which causes you to lose more sleep and you get the picture... This break is also to get a hold on things. If you are anything like me and knowing most of you are not freshman this likely isn't the case you seemed to have procrastinated (put off doing things) enough so that you are now occupying your time making up for time you've lost. Relief is soon at hand my friends!
Also, as a reminder, there are some plans being made for trips through Jonathan Triplett such as a ski trip on Winter Break and a hiking trip through the Chicksaw recreation area this coming weekend. If you haven't gotten the email but are interested in either of these things I can get that information to you.
One thing I am passionate about is reading and you can't forget to do that. Even it is just reading a little of the New York Times each day you need to read it. It keeps you informed on what is going on in the world plus it can get you used to the idioms and figurative language of the English language. Plus, if you go into lengthier modes of text then you have a little world you can enter that can take you from the stress and reality of one's own world.
Enough about my rambling on. I said this post was about Turkey Break and the International Showcase. Your blogger here is found. The International Showcase is to be November 17th during the peak lunch hours. Make sure your people know what they are to do tomorrow! It is sure to be fun and for those participating, dress to impress! The International Showcase is hosted in the cafeteria and will showcase various foods from cultures present at OCU. Items and other demonstrations are also present. Unless things have changed, students get to vote on the most appealing, appetizing cuisine this year! So come with empty bellies and a critics eye! :)
