Thanksgiving Break

Last night I finally made it back to Virginia Tech after a great break but a really long drive. My break was pretty good I would have to say. At first I thought it was not going to be that great because Fredericksburg is a really boring town and there is rarely anything exciting to do. Right after I got home though all my friends greeted me and we went back to our old ways and played poker all night and just chilled. I really missed my friends EJ, Steven and Juan and it was good to chill with them again and go out and do stupid stuff.
Saturday was my first whole day back and we all decided to go to our high school’s football game. Our old school Chancellor was playing Smithfield in the regional tournament, we had already won districts and where trying to continue winning. It was a pretty good game but I could not get into it as much as I used to. I guess I have sent all my team spirit to the Hokies and left the Chargers empty handed. Either way Chancellor still won by the score of 28 to 21 and it was still fun seeing some teachers and old friends.
On Sunday we gathered a lot of my friends that I have not seen since school and decided to have a touch football game at my house. I had been looking forward to this for awhile because since I have been in college I have not been able to play football or even get a lot of physical activity. We played in the street in front of my house for a few hours and had a lot of fun and then when we were done we decided to watch some football and just chill for the rest of the night.
Monday and Tuesday where not very exciting days. Each day I woke up and lifted which is good because I had not been able to lift very often at school and I wanted to get back into the workout groove. After I lifted nothing really interesting happened I just hung out with friends and played some video games and watched college basketball which was entertaining enough.
On Wednesday my friends and I decided we would go see a movie. At school I can’t really go see movies because I have no money and my parents are freaking out about paying for college so I usually don’t get to go see them. We did not really know what movie to see and we were debating if we should see Ninja Assassin, Blind Side, or New moon. Even though it was extremely awkward we all decided to see New Moon. This was weird because 6 dudes going to see New Moon is a little soft but it was good and we all enjoyed it even if that makes us soft. After the movie we decided to go out to eat because we were all hungry and had not eaten all day. We went to TGIF and ate and chilled there for awhile.
Thursday of course was thanksgiving and I had a pretty good thanksgiving. I hung out with my family all day and watched some football and basketball and just relaxed all day. Then when it came dinner time I punished some turkey and just completely stuffed myself just like everyone should do on thanksgiving. The meal was really good and it was a pretty entertaining thanksgiving even though there was not a lot of my family there I still enjoyed being with my close family.
Black Friday was absolutely crazy and I made the decision that I would go out and try and find some deals and fight through all the crazy people and terrible traffic. My friends and I went to the mall and looked around but it was really packed and there were not too many good deals that interested us so we then went to Best Buy to look at some things. We each ended up buying something we found on sale which made it a fairly successful Black Friday. My friend got a cable for his car so he could play music from his iphone while driving and my other friend got an ipod touch. I purchased Left for Dead 2 which is a game for the Xbox 360. Xbox games are usually 60 dollars but I purchased mine on sale for only 35. To me this was a very good deal and it was enough to sway me to purchase it even though I cannot play it while at college because I do not have my Xbox with me.
Saturday was my last full day at home and it was pretty chill. I just hung out with my friends for one last time and watched the Tech football game on our projector screen. We just chilled and relaxed and enjoyed watching Virginia Tech kill their rivals the most hated Virginia Cavaliers. The first half was pretty close but eventually Tech shut them down and started piling up the points and smashed UVA. After the game I said bye to all my friends and just hung out with my family for the rest of the night.
Sunday my friend Lawrence and I decided to head back to Tech at 1 because he had to be back around 6 because he is in the corp of cadets. We left at almost exactly 1 and decided to stop and get some food after about 20 minutes on the road. We stopped in Orange county Virginia which is pretty close to where we live. We stopped at a Tastee Freeze in the middle of nowhere and got ice cream and food which was an interesting experience. We hit the road after that and didn’t stop for a fairly long time until we got tired and needed to stretch at a gas station. When we got to the gas station we encountered a man wearing a “what happens in Vegas” shirt and carrying a baby. This was very amusing because he reminded me of the guy from the hangover. It took us 4 and a half hours to get back to Tech because the traffic around Roanoke was pretty bad and we made a few stops but I’m back now.
