5-day Weekend

Five Days of Fun! [???]

Stuff Your Face
What smells the best at Thanksgiving? Your nose! For those of you who didn’t get that joke, you’re probably thinking, “No, it’s the turkey! No, the cranberry sauce! No, the mashed potatoes!” Those would also be your answers to the question, “What did you eat five pounds of at Thanksgiving dinner?” Nobody can blame you, because they’ll all be doing the same. Thanksgiving is one of the few times in the year where you get to be surrounded by the food you love, the people you love, and an air of gratitude. What better way to show your thanks than by eating ‘til your buttons pop? Let the feast begin.

Watch the Thanksgiving 2009 Macy’s Parade
The Thanksgiving Macy’s Parade in New York City is a great way to get in the holiday spirit! The Macy’s Parade is an annual tradition that has been going on since 1924. It began as a way for the immigrant employees of Macy’s department stores to show America part of their heritage. Nowadays, it is a celebration of popular characters in pop culture. After watching enormous balloons of Betty Boop and Stewie Griffin float down 34th street, you’ll somehow appreciate the people around you more because they aren’t filled with 70 tons of helium.

Watch New Moon and Other Thanksgiving Weekend Releases
Another Friday night without a date? It doesn’t matter because you get to see Edward and Jacob hankering after Bella in the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyers’ New Moon. Other movie releases include Planet 51, Ninja Assassin, and The Road. If you don’t want to splurge on a movie ticket or just feel like getting cozy at home, tune in to NBC to watch their annual airing of Miracle on 34th Street after the Thanksgiving 2009 Macy’s Parade.

Study
Lame, I know. Hey, it’s high school. Study for APs or sleep in and hang out? Your conscience is telling you to take the road less traveled and get ahead on your homework. Take advantage of any extra time you have so that when school resumes, you can sleep at 6:00 p.m. while all your friends complain about sleeping at 6:00 a.m.

Turkey Trot
You know you will be eating those seven slices of pumpkin pie despite any claims to be “going on a diet.” You know you will wake up with that “just one more” helping of gravy on your thighs. You know you will regret that turkey leg when it comes time to fitting into your skinny jeans. So why not participate in the annual Turkey Trot, a 5K-10K footrace held on November 26, 2009 at Long Beach. The proceeds of the Turkey Trot, held by the Community Action Team, go straight to helping the community and hey, it’s a great preemptive strike against the post-Thanksgiving bulge!

How Derek Ha Parties (jk!)
by NANCY XIAO

When you go out partying during this 5 - day weekend, stop and ask yourself: how is the model student spending his [i don' t know what pronoun to use....don' t want to seem like a male supremacist!] time off?

Thanksgiving is one of the few times in the year where you get to be surrounded by the food you love, the people you love, and an air of gratitude. Besides, you burn a lot of calories tackling those essays, wrestling those APs, and punching numbers into your calculater!

Now you know that the model student's list of activities are pretty fun! Maybe you'll even try one. Just know that this doesn't automatically give you good grades (or something similar in meaning, just worded better....)
