Thanksgiving Break

This year, Thanksgiving break wasn't the best but I was thankful. Our break begun on Tuesday, November 25. We weren't due back to school until that following Monday. The break wasn't too long but I was just happy to be out of school. On Tuesday, I left for Jackson to go to my cousin's high school basketball game against their known rivials. My mom, my cousin and myself left around 3 o'clock to go to Jackson for the game that would start at 7 o'clock. We all packed over night bags because we knew our stay their could be long. The game was such a good game. My cousin's team was always leading but the other team was close behind. The fans cheered, the referees cheated but the game went on. At the end, my cousin's team graciously accecpted their bragging rights and walked out of the gym full of confidence.

The next day my aunt had a bad episode with the flu. The week prior to our visit, she went to the doctor and was told that she had the flu. She could not move and wasn't doing too well at all. We could all tell she was unable to drive so we had to stay in Jackson another day. Instead of leaving early Wednesday as planned, we later had to change our plans to Thursday morning, the day of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was okay but I didn't get to spend anytime with family or eat thanksgiving food.

Sadly by Friday night I was catching the flu from my aunt and now how the very distinctive symptoms. I was extremely miseralbe and wasn't able to spend the remainder of my break with my family but the rest of my break was spent in the bed with the studpid flu. I am still very thankful for everybody in my life and happy that I was living to see my family and friends on that day.
