    One Day from Thanksgiving

     
    离感恩节只有一天了,好快。去年的这一天我在干什么呢?完全想不起来了,只是记得去年感恩节的时候改学生们的实验报告累得吐血。和去年真是天壤之别啊,今年的感恩节前一天居然没有课——其实本来是有中午的seminar的,我猜是大家都想着回家团聚,散了就散了吧。只是连带着free pizza也跟着没有了,哭死了,真是相当相当的不习惯啊。别人回家吃火鸡大餐,我居然连free food都混不来。。。万恶的资本主义社会啊。。。
     
    美国人的假期安排真是相当的不合理。独立日落在暑假里,什么都捞不着(当然我是别想了,还记得本科老板的名言:“研究生没有暑假只有暑期”),然后从九月份开始到年底就只有感恩节和寒假一起挤在最后,好容易加一个秋假吧,又相当巧妙的设置在期中考试前。剩下也就是春假和阵亡将士纪念日还凑合。去年就听一个美国人抱怨过,她家里人大概对感恩节和圣诞节都很critical吧,于是不得不一个月回两趟家,加上七大姑八大姨的,算上她丈夫,亲戚再double。嘿嘿~绝不比中国那传统逊色。
     
    昨天和实验室的美国人闲聊,我说既然你们也觉得两个节日太近了,干脆把感恩节改到四月份算了。他拼命摇头,哈哈~也是,谁叫丰收在秋天呢。要是把圣诞节改到四月份,嘿嘿~圣诞老人穿成那样准得热死。宿命啊,美国人估计也只有认命了。虽然说这个holiday season是购物的黄金时节,但今年这经济对美国人打击不是一般的大啊。好,现在就看我来拉动消费啦,hoho~
     
    刚才在路上已经看到有拉着拉杆箱的学生了,大家真的都要回家团聚啦~唉,就当我省了机票钱了吧。爸爸妈妈啊,你们把家里那只玩具狗当成我就好了。恩~Everybody, Happy Thanksgiving!
