Christmas Break

Christmas Break

The Holiday season for most people means giving, sharing, and being happy, but for me the highlight is the school's Christmas break. During this time when I'm in town I enjoy staying Out late, relaxing, the basic freedom of not being in school.

This year I also did some traveling. I went to St. Mary's, Pilot Station, and Russian Mission. The first place that I went was St. Mary's. Garrett brought me down to pick up my snowmachine. The machine was sort of a Christmas present that I bought. The trip was not very enjoyable because it was raining and the trail was slushy.

The next day a men's basketball tournament was scheduled in Pilot Station and, since the temperature had dropped, I decided to go down. The trip was enjoyable, but the games were even better. I ended up going to Pilot Station three days in a row to see the whole tournament. The only really exciting games though were the two played by Marshall Lost Boyz and St. Mary's Young Guns. The first game was close right up to the end, but the Lost Boyz won. The second game was the championship and

it was even closer. It came down to the final seconds when the Boyz were up by one point with the ball and nine seconds on the clock. The Guns put pressure on them but they broke it and hit a three pointer with five seconds left to play sealing their victory by four points.

When the tournament was all over I came home and went to bed. Two days latter I went to Russian Mission with my mom for Slavik. I followed the star, ate, visited old friends, and mingled with family. When we finally came home, all I really did was hang out at the dances until school started. All in all, my X-mass vacation was too short. But it was good while it lasted!
