How annoying—we didn't get any vacation for Thanksgiving! Haha. Meh.
For my WWI class on Thanksgiving, we went to the Imperial War Museum. I did some research there for my paper about propaganda posters during the First World War and their use to recruit women. I've 'always' sort of been interested in propaganda posters. I think if I had to have a job during WWI, I would have liked to make propaganda posters. Tsk tsk!
On this visit to the museum, I looked at a couple of exhibits I didn't get to on the first time. There was a huge Holocaust exhibit that was moving and disturbing on so many levels, I can't really get into it. Then there was also an exhibit about spies that was awfully fascinating. Here are some interesting quotes I found from that exhibit:
So, moving on: This year was my first thanksgiving away from home. But we still had a nice Thanksgiving meal with some friends! Rachel did a really nice job of arranging everything, don't you think? She made a turkey, which I think is impressive, since I cannot even manage to make sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Yeah. They literally caught on FIRE in our stupid oven and I had to dump them in the sink and there was smoke everywhere. Embarrassing and it made me panicky, but in the end, I thought it was rather funny... !!! Don't tell anyone though, please. ;D
After stuffing my face, I went out DaNcInG! To burn off all those calories... but not really. :]
