Today, I had an average day at school, but it was enjoyable. My teachers gave us no homework (as usual) to prevent stress and give us more time to relax and have fun. During the five hour school day, I went to my four favorite classes as usual: biology, reading, calculus, and latin. I can't wait until I actually become an orthopedist after all these days of school to prepare, and the Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays that I have to go to school are well worth the reward of becoming a doctor. Although I'm not growing up too fast because I get to enjoy the weekends, Tuesdays, and Thursdays off, wherever on the island. I could even go to school if I really wanted, but I prefer to hang out with my friends at the beach.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

Today I did almost everything imaginable, like deep sea diving, building sand castles, parasailing, fishing, boating, surfing, and anything else like that. The Cornucopia has such a great environment, a great beach, and the overall feeling of a vacation. My favorite thing to do while I'm not on the beach though is going out to the recreational center, and playing a good game of soccer or any other sport with my friends. Most of my friends enjoy soccer mostly, but we also go hiking and to the beach on the weekends just like today. There are so many things to do; it's pretty amazing to me. Although it is daily life, daily life is now a vacation.

Out of everything today I want to remember what happened parasailing. Okay, so I was out on the water, and all of a sudden this gust of wind blew me off balance. And SPLASH! I was in the water, laughing like crazy. Then a dolphin swims up to me and nudges me. I saw it look at me, and I couldn't appreciate the Marine Life Preservation Company any more than I did then. The Cornucopia has the best wildlife management I have ever seen or heard of. I hope I'll get to see some more dolphins sometime!

We have another day to relax and chill out this weekend!

I'm so glad that today is the biggest holiday, here in The Cornucopia. The last Thursday in November is always celebrated as Thanksgiving as you probably know. Although we do not celebrate Thanksgiving as a community, most families like mine celebrate with a huge meal. Also, we have the day off because we only go to school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday unless you want to go more. I am always so glad we have the day off.

With the day off, I love to go hiking on the mountain with my families. I can't wait! It may be a little cooler, but after summers on the beach and in the moderate heat, the cool air of the mountain can't be beat. (I rhymed.) It can't be beat by anything. Being in the middle of the forest or on the sandy beach, it makes me thankful to live here where life is good, and that of course is what Thanksgiving is all about.

Although the family activities are pretty awesome, the best part is the food. Most of the time my mother fixes some dehydrated food, which is pretty good considering all the foods that are available, but on Thanksgiving my mom always cooks the best meal I've ever tasted. The recipes for all the food are made readily available by the town center place. The whole meal consists of roast turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, and of course pie. I can't wait to taste the pie I only get once a year! It's just as good as living here in The Cornucopia!
