This thanksgiving has been an interesting one for me. Unfortunately, I have been sick all week with the flu and a possible case of strep throat, and that includes today. That meant no turkey for me, but instead a day of lazing around on the couch watching movies. Somehow, I still managed to do this last out of my little group in our English class,
First off, I am thankful for Evan, because as he said on his blog, we were already friends when we got into class, and you know, our friends were friends so we knew each other relatively well. It was nice to have a familiar face. And then as the year progressed, we got closer in friendship. I realized that he's actually kind of cool, and he has a good sense of humor. Yes, there are plenty of times where he gets on my nerves, but overall, he's a good person, and someone you can rely on, and I'm glad to have him as a friend.
Jan! So after writing Evan's little section I realized that I actually have more history with Jan. We met early in Seventh grade and drifted apart as we made new friends, but it was a friendly drifting. During this class, I remember why I was Jan's friend in the first place. She is a very intelligent, trustworthy person, who is also fun to be around. She is a good leader, which probably comes in handy because who knows what would happen without her in our group. So thanks for all that Jan.
Overall, I'm just thankful to be able to go to a school where we can actually be thankful for each other and care on that level for our classmates. And also thankful for teachers who let us share about each other. Honestly, reading Jan and Evan's blogs made my whole day!
Happy Thanksgiving!
