Wow is it ever nice to be out of the cement cube in which I dwell in...even if it be for only 9 days. I have made it to my first college Spring Break! Now, before you get worried and perhaps censor the rest of this blog, the craziest thing I've done so far is flip off an ignorant driver on Hwy 51 on the way back from Mercer. Rebel...I know. But oh my gosh does it ever feel amazing to be home. Sure, there's not much going on, and all my friends aren't even in Minoc, but I'm enjoying every second and every aspect of my break:
1. My bed. That I don't climb up to. That doesn't creak. That's not made by a sketchy brand called "Hotel Motel."
2. Peanut butter toast and Eggo waffles. Need I say more?
3. Tivo and Netflix on Demand. (Sergio and I are making our way through a list of "Movies that Take Place in One Room." Thanks, Stumble Upon!)
4. Luxurious Cottenelle. And non-automatic-flush toilets.
5. Driving!! And yes, the road rage is still very much in me.
6. Dakota. I mean we've got some pretty intense Taco Tuesday-ing and "Ellen" planned, how could I not appreciate us being reunited?
7. Spending time with Sergio. In addition to our list of movies, we also are on a mission to find the world's greatest grilled cheese. Which we think lies in the kitchen of Minocqua Brewing Company... we're gonna test out that theory... probably on Wednesday. We better calm down before we get hurt, I know.
8. The family. Oh gosh, how I appreciate just being in their presence. This was the longest stretch of time I've ever gone without seeing them. (53 days to be exact, and I actually got to surprise my mom on Thursday morning because she didn't know I was coming home early. So much fun...it felt like Christmas morning again, I was so excited to see her and to hug her again!) Whether it be watching The Bachelor finale with Mom and B, playing a board game with both sibs, going out to lunch, cooperating with Dad to do the dishes by hand because the week I come home of course our dishwasher breaks, or strolling through Timber Ridge with Ty (still can't believe I got him to agree to take a walk with me), I LOVE being with them. Which is a blessing and a curse because it makes it 82 times harder to leave them. Sunday please don't come... :(
People keep telling me that second semester flies by, and I'm already halfway done. Once I get back, looks like it'll be full speed ahead! Bring it on.
