My bags are packed...one more load of laundry to do...one more friend to see...spring break 2010 is coming to a close.
Looking back on this break I see that it hasn't been a break like those in the past. All my friends had SB last week so very few were around to hang out. The break was spent sleeping, hanging out with my sister, figuring out my new phone, and celebrating Pop's birthday. I had a great time and it was nice just relaxing and hanging out at the house.
I'll start where I left off...I took off from Boston and made it safely to Baltimore. Dad picked me up and him and I went to a BBQ with friends from his work (he makes sandwiches for the State Department) =D After that we stopped at a wedding and then finally made it home about 830pm Saturday night.
The rest of the week was pretty slow. The weather varied from beautiful to rainy from day to day. Monday night the missionaries came over for dinner and we had fun getting to know them.
Wednesday was a Sam and Abby day. I got my hair done and she got a manicure. We also went to visit the Krajewski clan and see the new baby (she's gorgeous). We then picked up Tommy and went to see a movie together...it was a really fun day.
The next exciting day was Friday. We surprised Pop for his birthday and took him out to Restaurant 213. We had a lot of fun, ate a lot, and laughed none stop. We then went to Aunt Sarah's were Pop quickly fell asleep and as tradition...took pictures and played dress up while he snored on.
Today is Saturday...my last day in East Coast time for a while. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but I know that when I return my family will be there excited to great me with open arms. I love the cow manure smell, the humidity, and the flat...but I'm excited to get back to USAFA and finish out this semester.

Spring Break Start
Spring Break is an amazing time for USAFA. All cadets are released for a week and given time to recharge. They come back ready to knock out the last 15 lessons and move on with summer schedules. Later on today I'll probably make a post about Recognition and a quick update on what I'm doing this summer :) But here is how my spring break started...
Its about 10:15 eastern time so 8:15 Colordo time. I'll give you a quick run down of my spring break thus far. Feel free to stop reading now if you'd like, but if you're not busy and would like to be slightly entertained...keep reading.
Woke up Friday (yesterday) morning at 6am to do a work out and do my laundry. Got done working out and felt horrible. I went to the clinic and ended up getting put on bed rest for the day (got out of water haze) because of the norovirus thing AGAIN.
Ended up leaving USAFA at 3...made it all the way to Denver with out a problem, but the roads in Denver were horrible. Took us forever to get to the airport (it was bumper to bumper traffic all through Denver).
Got to Denver ok but there was no one at my ticket counter to check my bags because I found out my flight was delayed from 1130pm to 230am. No big deal, went to the USO and chilled there with friends until about 1230am (7hrs).
Got to my gate and learned the plane was now delayed until 3am (still haven't slept since waking up at 6am). Finally get on the plane and then we sat on the tarmac for an hour and a half (22hr w/ no sleep and not feeling great). Plane finally pulls away and I'm asleep before the plane takes off and I wake up when they tell us to put up our tray tables (a good 3 hour nap).
Land in Boston...and here I sit...I have 5 hours before my flight to Maryland and then I have a 3hr drive to my house. This means 27hrs from the time i left USAFA to the time I get home will have elapsed.
If this is how my break starts it can only get better. I'm doing great. I can't wait for the rest of break.
