Time for a break?

Oh, yes it is!

I am so glad to be going home for spring break that it's not even funny. I've been feeling rather poorly the past few days, but just the elation of being free has pushed me beyond bouncy. When I finally get home tonight I just want to crash on the sofa and not move until Sunday. Unfortunately, I need to start doing laundry if I want anything clean to wear tomorrow. An dI really don't want to sleep through all of Saturday, because we're headed to ND for an exciting day of fun. Lunch with Calless at Space Aliens in Fargo, then on to VeggieTales Rockin' Tour Live! Woot! Pictures will certainly be posted afterward.

Being home and using dial-up, I will be somewhat disconnected for the next week, so don't feel like I'm ignoring you. All the time that I'm not working at the salad bar will be spent learning my Seussical music and building a trebuchet with my dad.

And now for something completely different...

Yesterday morning I was reminded just how wonderful my friends are. Chris invited a bunch of us over to his apartment for a late breakfast before our 11:00 class, and it was a great time. He's actually a pretty good cook. I don't remember who said it, but someone commented that getting together and cooking and eating together made us feel like family, which is especially important for people whose own families are far away. And even though my parents are only an hour away and I get to see them fairly often, I feel like the people at USF are my family too. I have so many sisters here that it's just crazy, considering I grew up with only an older brother. and now I have more brothers than I can count on one hand, which is good--a girl on her own can always use a couple extra brothers. ;) Anyway, I think the point I was getting at is that the people here (some of the profs included, which is especially nice) make me feel so loved and accepted that they might as well be blood relations. I hope I make them feel the same way.

Aw doodles! Now, I'm sad. I've known you since 2nd grade and I consider you a sister, but you seem to think you grew up with only a brother. Sadness.

I hope your break is going...er, went?...well for you. My calendar following skills are shot, so I'm not sure whether you're still breaking or not. Hmmm, I should get on top of that calendar thing....

and yeah, I'm still breaking, and I really should have found a time to call you and get together--I'm a bad friend...
