Tue, November 20, 6pm – 9pm
Where: Roetter Hall
This is a reminder that YAG Thanksgiving is next Tuesday starting at 6pm. If you'd like to bring something, please fill out this spreadsheet. David Vacchi has generously offered to make the turkey this year, and so all of the three things required for for a GREAT 3rd Annual YAG Thanksgiving are in place (see previous emails).
I almost never go home for Thanksgiving since I've had such bad experiences traveling during this time. But here are the Top 10 ways I keep myself from getting depressed while getting text messages from my siblings about how much fun they are having without me.
- I go to YAG Thanksgiving duh! Why do you think we started this tradition? It's to make me less depressed about not going home for the holidays, and I still get to eat turkey.
- I eat a lot of mashed potatoes and gravy. And pumpkin cheesecake. Yummy. Someone bring that!
- I go to Thanksgiving Mass on Wednesdays before Thanksgiving. Did you know there was one? I do because the staff told me to move the first YAG Thanksgiving to Tuesday when we had it originally planned for Wednesday.
- I hide in my house and watch the news about who got trampled, at what store, and for what toy on Black Friday. Then I giggle a little if no one was seriously hurt.
- I watch a lot of football. There is a game every day during Thanksgiving break. What's your flavor? College, pros, we got it.
- I take pictures of myself outside in the sun, by the beach, on hiking trails, and send them home to rainy, cold Portland.
- I just saved hundreds of dollars and much aggravation by not flying back!
- I get adopted by other families who feel sorry for me.
- I sleep a lot and don't have to work!
- I spend time with my friends in San Diego who are like family to me. Thank God for you and all our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving.
