On the outside, Canadian Thanksgiving is much like Thanksgiving in the states. Family and friends gather together. There is an elaborate meal with a plethora of foods (including the traditional turkey and pumpkin pie). Except the only thing is I'm not sure what they are celebrating. I was just thankful to get a meal outside of camp.
I say outside of camp because I did, in fact, go away for the weekend. A couple friends of mine from home (Shawn and Danielle Kelley) came up to Danielle's parent's house on the mainland for Thanksgiving and I was able to join them. Today they came back to the island with me for a couple of days. It's nice to be with people from home again.
It would be a terrible thing to not take a moment now to mention the epic fun that was our surfing trip. It turns out I'm not the best surfer on the west coast. But I certainly don't feel that I'm the worst either. I slowly mastered the art of catching the waves with the occasional accomplishment of getting up on my board. The bottom line here is that surfing is great fun.
Sadly enough, surfing and Thanksgiving were short lived episodes. The amount of homework I have to do in the next couple weeks is more than I can even convey by memory at this time. Which is why I must now end this post and continue in my academic endeavors.
