Whatever Happened to Thanksgiving?

I know, I know. I've been lagging on posting, but my computer was swarmed by viruses. It hasn't come in yet(it's being wiped clean), so I am on my sister's computer. Not like anyone would get on here. I'm sort of a latent writer.
I was in Target today. On the ceiling, next to the aisle markers, Christmas decorations were already strung up. Halloween just ended(sort of), and now they're going straight to Christmas? Thanksgiving is day to give thanks for things we have been blessed with. Sure,Christmas is "'apparently" Jesus' birthday, but we don't know. The Bible says it was in the spring, not the middle of harsh winter.
Speaking of which, it's cold outside. I'm surprised snow hasn't arrived yet. Of course, the sun has been blaring for the past few days, to my dismay. I'm not a fan of sunlight. I like clouds. Sue me.
Band has come and gone. We had an absolutely AMAZING year. Fifth overall at bandmaster's was our best achievement yet. It feels as if it were yesterday, I walked for the first time into the band room.
School this year is different. We get to take a language, mine being Latin. It's semi-hard, but not as hard as translating the Dead Sea scrolls into Arabic. Don't ask. We had to read an epic(yes,that is a word) book called The Odyssey by Homer. Homer was the J.K. Rowling of Greecian times. The book wasn't bad, jut very,very detailed. I found some very good quotes that I plan to use regularly. Maybe.
Other classes are fine. I don't plan on getting into details about the rest. same basic classes; Algebra, English, Biology(actually, I'll go into that class at a later point), Bible, and World Geography. It's not a bad line-up, but without a study hall ever, I've got to book it(band quote #1).
Biology. Is. Not. Fun. The class itself isn't bad; it's the teacher that is inadequate. She reads directly from the book. Like, DIRECTLY FROM THE BOOK. She provides personal opinions that are pointless. She demands for us to believe things she believes. In a very vulgar, modern way, she sucks as a teacher. Yeah, I went there.
Frankly, I can't think of anything else to say. So, yeah.



So long and thanks for all the fish,
Elliot
