All right, so we all know that Labor Day is a day that we get off of school and work, but do we really know what the day is about? Most people know what Memorial Day and Veterans Day mean, but what about Labor Day? I myself wasn't really sure if I fully understood it or remembered, so I did a little google search, and this is what I came up with:

Unlike most other holidays recognized in the United States, or in any other country for that matter, Labor Day is not based on a battle or war fought, and does not recognize one particular person or event. It is a celebration of the working force, and the economic and social achievements made by American workers. The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882. Two years later, it was decided that the holiday be celebrated on the first Monday of September, as it has been ever since.

I have enjoyed my day off from school. I think. I took some cold medicine that knocked me out for a while, and I guess I am feeling a little better. Back to school tomorrow. Joy. But really, it isn't so bad. I only have two classes, so I don't feel I have as much reason to complain as compared to my friends who are taking AP Calculus and AP Chemistry and English 104 or whatever number that is. I am only taking Political Science 1103 and a honors Environmental Earth class, and those are nothing compared to the classes that I mentioned that my friends are taking. So, I feel rather lucky to be sort of slacking off and not having a lot to do this semester. There's nothing wrong with taking it easy now, is there? No, I didn't think so either.
