Halloween always feels like the beginning of the end for me. Halloween, being the last day of October, is therefore the doorway to November, which means Thanksgiving, which means the holidays.
Also, it always feels as if Thanksgiving gets forgotten. I was at Walmart today, November 1st, and watched two workers put up a Christmas banner. Everyone's already thinking about Christmas, while Thanksgiving is a neglected holiday. Who doesn't love Thanksgiving? It's a holiday that has become about football and food!
But Thanksgiving already feels only around the corner. I had it pointed out to me today that there are only 25 actual days of classes left. Take out finals' week, it's only 20. 20 days! What happened to 2013?!
It'll be a new year before you know it, folks. 2013 is rounding the fourth corner, so make your peace with it while you can. Let's finish the year strong, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Ethan Ransom Becker, and this is a blog of my writings. Enjoy the stories!
