With 16.5 k words to write left in my book, a ten page math assignment to complete, and several sections of my Principles of Fitness class to pour over, I enter my Thanksgiving break with barely any time to be thankful for. It sucks.
I still haven't looked at that thing stored in that box. It still haunts me. On more than one instance I have found myself sitting staring blankly at one thing or another thinking to myself, "I could just go look at it. It would be ok to take just a peak.", but no, it wouldn't. Because then I'd take another peak, and then once I've looked at it, what is the harm in opening it up and reading the manual, checking out the neat map they always insert? Where's the harm there?
The harm there, is that I'd get curious, and then I'd have to play it. Then I'd go to Jon's house and take over his TV and his playstation and he and I would both stop writing our books. I have resisted this future. I only have nine more days to go, but considering that I've only so far resisted this for 7 days, I'm not so fully optimistic that I will go the entire time without looking.
Maybe once I hit 45k words I'll sneak a peak. Or perhaps I'll deem it a dumb idea and just wait until I breach the big Fifty thousand.
Well either way, I'm going to enjoy today. Its my last day of class until next monday. I've got lots of work to do, lots of thinking to do, lots of reading to do, and lots of writing to do.
I'm sending out wishes and happiness for everyone. I hope your day of thanks is filled with warm smiles and fond memories. Don't let your inlaws get under your skin, and try to remember for one day, that we are all at least very similar and that we should all be thankful to have each other around. The world would be a very lonely and boring place without all of you in it.
Try the stuffing, its delicious.
