Even though today is Remembrance Day, it seems that there is no escaping school work.  I guess that goes without saying since I am in college (do we ever get a day off where we can do nothing?), but it would be nice to have some time off.

But even though I have taken advantage of today to work on my term paper on the side effects of HGH, I still made the time to honor our veterans.  I realize that I was not around for any real wars in my lifetime, but I am thankful that people risked (and lost their lives) to ensure that we have the freedoms we do today.

Instead of just attending one of the many ceremonies that were going on in town today, I made a commitment to volunteer at one of them in our community.  It was nice to see a large number of us students take the time and effort to participate in today’s ceremonies and you could see that the veterans in attendance were happy to see that there were youth getting involved.

I still have a lot of work to do on my paper, but I am confident that I will get done on time despite the fact that I didn’t work on it all day.
