it's called break for a reason

ok...wow... can I just catch my breath for a minute??
I have had the busiest past two weeks ever. I think that I should just move a cot into NESAD (The New England School of Art & Design). I feel like I have spent every waking moment at the art school these past two weeks trying to finish a project I have been working on for 6 weeks. I finally handed it in on Thursday and wow, it feels great to get it out of my sight. Spring break couldn't have come at a better time.

I know that even though it's "Spring Break" there is probably some work I should be doing, however... I NEED A BREAK!!! and therefore the only thing I plan on doing this next week is sleeping, eating, watching TV and hanging with my friends...(a schedule that I would normally 1. never have time for and 2. feel guilty for doing) seems acceptable after the work load I have had.

I will be going home to Buffalo on Tuesday next week to see my family! I haven't seen them since I moved into my new apartment in January, so I am excited to see them, as well as have some one to cook for me :) . I am just excited to be HOME... it's so nice after being away to go back to your house, it's always so relaxing and it makes you appreciate it more when your away too. However, the only thing I'm not that looking forward to is the weather. Just when I leave Boston, the weather warms up, and of course, the place that I'm going to has just been hit with tons of snow and is expecting more!! I was hoping to be able to run outside and go bike riding when I got home, but I guess with snow on the ground that is out of the question. I guess I could always go skiing.

Anyway, I am just about ready to break out of these walls. Having to work on Friday's kinda stinks, especially today...the first day of Spring Break!! And with St. Patty's on Monday, this is a big weekend for Boston. I can't wait to go to the parade in Southie (South Boston...loads of Irish people) and then celebrate like a true Irish on Monday. In Boston, St. Patrick's Day is a serious holiday, and even those who aren't (like myself), are Irish for a day!

So on that note, I am heading out...I will probably go running outside today since we were fortunate enough to have a warmer, sunny day today. I better go before it starts raining.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and don't forget.. every one's a little bit Irish!
