November 25
There are only three days left until Thanksgiving,
and as any senior high school student does, I am going to play the game and
tell everyone what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for a five day break; I would have been
more thankful had it been a full seven days, but you can’t get everything you
want in life. I am thankful that there is a day dedicated to eating – few
celebrate unité this millennia. I am thankful that tests are over with for the
next five days. I am thankful for the ability to sleep in and walk around all
day in my pajamas if I so please. I am thankful for the future five day
avoidance of the noise and stupidity in the hallways – seriously, some people need
to grow up. I am thankful that we will all get a break. I am thankful
Thanksgiving is so close to winter break now that the district has decided to
make it a week longer – so few school days left! I am thankful for the math I
won’t be required to do, but not even math. I am thankful for the halt of
biology labs and the cessation of counting of cyclic cells – even if it is only
temporary. I am thankful that this break affords so many freedoms from school,
as long as the homework is done ahead of time. I am thankful for the advent –
or rather recognition – of rhetorical devices, without anaphora, none of this
would have been literary or shaped in any way or form to any English class I
have taken since first grade; so thank you, Aristotle, Martianus Capella, and
their teachers (or whoever the first to use this rhetorical jargon were), I
appreciate you.
