I have a 3 day weekend right now because of Thanksgiving... Canadian Thanksgiving that is. I didn't know till earlier last week when someone told me that we didn’t have classes this Monday. When I first found out about this I was like "what the... Thanksgiving already? It can't be..." I still think it is in November after 4 years of living up here.
Which brings to my second point... why is there Thanksgiving in Canada? I've asked tons of people and no one seems to know. One thing is for sure, it is not as big up here as it is down there in the sense that TV commercials don't keep stressing it's the holidays and there are no children's play of pilgrims and Indians in elementary school. It just really quiet here in comparison. If it wasn't for the day off, I probably wouldn't have known it was Thanksgiving.
I ended up having Thanksgiving dinner with Jason's family. I'm thankful for dinner with the Sproules and not having to get up at 6:30am this Monday for my morning class. :o)
我這星期有三天的假期. 是因為星期一(十月十一號)是加拿大的感恩節. 我本來是不知道的. 上星期二有個同學跟我說下星期一不用上課, 我就想說奇怪為什麼? 她一解釋的時候, 我就想“奇怪, 感恩節因該不是那麼早吧?”結果他說對的. 我是一直想到美國的感恩節! 我是因為在美國長大, 習慣一直想到美國的感恩節. 他們的是再十一月二十五號.
第二就是說加拿大為什麼有個感恩節? 我問了很多加拿大人, 他們都不知道為什麼. 在美國每個人都知道為什麼有感恩節. 那邊的感恩節是很大的. 在加拿大的話, 就很小. 兩個國家的感恩節差得太多, 這節目在美國是比在加拿大還大又是在不一樣的時候, 我就想說加拿大感恩節的歷史是什麼, 則麼來的? 我查了一下終於知道了. 我用中文不會解釋, 所以就不說了!
在感恩節家人一起吃晚飯, 要說感謝什麼東西. 就是說對我們身活要感謝什麼. 我感謝明天(星期一)不用六點半起床去上課
上星期四是我的生日. 明天我媽要帶我和弟弟出去吃飯.

Posted by: Jonathan at October 11, 2004 01:06 AM阿姨最近忙翻了(公司事),所以很久沒有上網與你聯繫,抱歉!
找工作一定別急躁,不要怕麻煩,這段時間好好充實自己,讓自己保持在最佳狀況,也盡量不放棄任何好機會,遇到問題時就先深呼吸再慢慢吐氣,會讓頭腦清醒些喔!try try看.
10/7是你的生日,現在才知道,很抱歉!為何媽媽請吃飯不是在你生日當天而是明天?(感恩節嗎?)
10/10回苗栗(大阿姨也有回)有告訴大阿姨怎麼與你聯繫,舅舅10/17要請外公的姊妹們吃飯(她們是輪流請客,藉此聯絡感情),我們姊妹也是被邀請的對象,來不來?(哈...再讓你羨慕一下).
ps:聽大阿姨說佳佑的婚禮在Jan 15,2005.
