ReplyDeleteyep~! Thanks giving day is like a Chinese tradditonal day which is called the Mid-Autumn Festiva. In this special time, familis are siiting around the table and share the most fantastic meal through out the year, that is amiable and awesome. For us, though we may not go back to our homecountry even though when the New Year is coming, but it is indeed that we can enjou our first Thanks Giving in the United States and that is supposed to be an interesting experience for us. I like Thanks Giving~ I expect the 5 days in Chicago.~!

IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL ENJOY A TRIP TO SOMEWHERE. THANKSGIVING BREAK IS, FOR ME, THE TIME TO DO HOMEWORK. AS THE HOMEWORK WE HAVE IN PHD IS MUCH MORE TIME-CONSUMING, WE NEED TO TAKE LONGER TIME TO FINISH IT. BUT USUALLY WE DON'T HAVE THAT SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME. SO I DON'T EAT TURKEY AND DO HOMEWORK!
