In the very distant past, in the age of Napster and before the advent of facebook, Thanksgiving used to be a big rocking party. We had two days off--two!!--and I remember always gearing up for thanksgiving and feeling quite festive when it came. Now, not so much. I don't have to go into lab tomorrow, because my main activities for now are reading papers and doing homework, and I'm not even all that enthused about the prospect of not going to lab.
Maybe it's because all my friends are much further away, geographically, and inviting them over tomorrow night just isn't going to work. Maybe it's because I'm older and have been disappointed more often. Maybe it's because I like my work, and don't feel particularly overworked, and so I don't feel like I need or deserve this break. I'm excited to see family on Thursday and Saturday, but I'm not necessarily excited to not go into lab. But on the other hand I don't feel that excited about going into lab either. Hmmm.
