Thanksgiving

I am most thankful for Christmas break. It is a good deal longer than the one I had in grade school, before I went to college. I went to school here in Habersham County. Accoding to the Habersham County Board of Education's website, students around the county will be released early on Fri. Dec. 19, and continue to be out of school until the 6th of January. This means that students in elementary, middle and high schools in Habersham have 18 days of vacation. According to Piedmont's Registrar webpage, our Christmas break begins on Dec. 10, which is the last day of finals. We can start ealier depending on whether we are done with finals before hand. We don't start our next semester until the 8th of January. This means we have 29 or more days (depending on finals) to use for Christmas break. So if you do the math, we have 11 more days of Christmas break than the Habersham schools do. Eleven days might not make the difference to some people, but to me, 11 more days is great. Especially after working so hard for a semester. I still have to work a temporary job to continue making money. However, no homework for almost a month and no stress over projects is a dream come true. Yep...Christmas break is definitley what I'm most thankful for.
