November

November is by far my favorite month of the year. Here is a couple of reaons why (no particular order):

1. Cross country winds down and I get some time off to recover
2. Other friends that I have who are on fall sports are able to go to the Pub and hang out
3. Thanksgiving break (a full week!)
4. Ohio State-Michigan rivalry (third Saturday of November!)
5. NBA is just starting up (go Pistons!)
6. Sunday football!
7. All of the major assignments for most of my classes seem to always be done before we leave for Thanksgiving break.
8. College basketball hosts pre-season tournaments (NIT, Spartan clash, etc.)

Thanksgiving break is great because I get to sleep in and recharge, as well as hang out with family I don't see that much. I love the cold air outside...it's just perfect for cross country running (the hardcore runners, that is!). I like Thanksgiving moreso than Christmas because I begin to miss my friends over the three week time period alloted for Christmas break; also, I have to start thinking about Indoor track once we get back from winter break. The bottom line: these next two weeks could not come any sooner!
