Good Friday

I do not understand why the entire campus did not cancel class for Good Friday. In High School we would get out of school for that holiday, until spring break fell during the holiday. However, at least there was not any school that day. My Mom got out of work early today, and my Dad did not even have to go to work. I guess because not everyone is a Christian we did not get out of school. It kind of follows under if there was any other religious holiday that school would not let out for it. More than anything, I guess that I just want a break from school I guess. Sadly, that is how most students would look at it anyway. Most would not even observe what Good Friday just look at it as a day is, instead off. Some students may even think that it is a stupid reason for class to be cancelled. There is Easter Sunday to observe and honor what Jesus did for me. At least my work is closed for day so I can go to church, and have a day of rest. That would be nice, because days of rest are rare, even on Sundays when that is supposedly us to be the day of rest.

I went to a Catholic school, so I'm always used to getting out on Good Friday too. But just like in high school, religious holidays really are just 'Yay I get out of school' days for everyone. It is really sad when you think about it(like how everyone thinks 'PRESENTS' on Christmas).

It wouldn't really have been fair to observe Christian holidays only though; I think the campus' policy is a safe way to go.
