Thanksgiving? Fall? What?

Well, so it seems to happen every year at this time. We skip Thanksgiving and fall. At least that seems to be the case in Alabama. There is no fall here, we skip straight from summer to winter bypassing any notion of fall that might exist. Earlier this week it was in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Now it’s down to the 50s and getting into a low somewhere around 20 tonight. Gotta love Alabama weather.

And we seem to have skipped thanksgiving as well. As soon as October and halloween is over, BOOM, it’s automatically Christmas. Thanksgiving is no longer a holiday that we apparently pay attention to at least not in the advertisement world. Oh well, at least they don’t skip fall break. I think that would make us students even more insane this time of year.

But there’s at least one less thing on my list of concerns to be concerned about. Band is over, sort of. I enjoyed band while we were doing it but it was taking up a lot of time and now that we played our last game this past Saturday I can say it’s over with for now. We still have a few pep-band things to do for a few of the basketball games and a student conducted concert in a couple of weeks but at least the workload won’t be as much as it was before. Stay tuned for future updates!
