SPoil'a essay entitled, "What I Did During Thanksgiving HDW bDES IT LOOK FROM T PA &S £~ T/1\Tia-fj IDI'fR Break" (subtitled, "My Life as a Zucchini"). What will we do during Thanksgiving break? Some students will spend time with their families. I, too, plan to spend time with my family - converse with the parental units, pester a younger cousin or -=tit- two, teach my little brother how to cook, since he now lives off campus at the University of Arkansas and has &tr · - ~a decided that Hamburger Helper can get old. And, of course. the Madden clan (all 457 of them) will have their annual holiday bash at some unlucky relative's house. (Okay, okay, I exaggerated the number- only 452.) However, there's something else I really want to do. Some students will do Christmas shopping. That, too, could be fun. Especially if I go with Mom and drop a few not-so-subtle hints about what I would like for Christmas. Could be profitable, too, if I go with my brother so we can split the costs on everyone. But that's not what I really want to do either. Some will try to catch up on class work. (At this point in the semester it's never a question of getting ahead on class work, just catching up.) Not a fun idea, but perhaps a worthwhile one. I could read some books,for my independent study. Or finish up my outside reading for Bible class. Or work on my paper. Or maybe even read sotrlething just for the fun of it.
