...coming back to school!!

I just got back into my room and unpacked all of my crap that I'm going to pack up again in 5 weeks. It's so hard to believe that we are almost done our freshman year of college! It has gone by so FAST!!

So for those of you who have heard that spring break is the greatest part of being in college, let me forewarn you that only some of us can be lucky enough. First of all, the college budget didn't allow me to fly to some exotic island to soak up the sun. Second of all, I'm not sure that the 'rents would have allowed me to go anywhere just yet (they're still having a hard time with the whole growing up thing)! Also our spring break this year happened to be the week after all of my friends from back home were on break so I was able to go home and spend time with my parents and little sister.

Wanna hear about my week?? Well I haven't told anyone yet about it in detail so you'll be the first! Unfortunately, my stepmom's father passed away last week so I was going home to an extremely emotional house and a weekend of funeral services with people that I had no idea who they were. That took care of Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday night I went with my boyfriend Eric's two little cousins. He hadn't been feeling well that night and didn't want to be there alone with the kids. Well he went home shivering that night and ended up going to the ER on Sunday morning only to find out that he had very bad conjunctivitis in both eyes and an upper respiratory viral infection. YUCK!! Being the caring person that I am, I wanted to stay at his house and take care of him, but his mom made me stay at home also to help prevent me getting it from him!! Let's just say I didn't listen very well.
Anyway, my sister was in school all week, so the house was mine, all mine!! During the day I kept things pretty low key, watching TV, sleeping, surfing the internet, sleeping, etc. After I picked my sister up from school, we went shopping one day, we spring cleaned her bedroom another day, and just kciked around the house for the rest of the week. On Friday, Eric and I went to my dad's job site in Brunswick, ME. He just finished building the Recital Hall for Bowdoin College. I had seen it over Winter Break but it was only halfway done. Within the next few weeks, it should be ready to turn over to the college and it looks B-E-A-UTIFUL!!

This is what the recital hall looked like in the mini model that the architects made. It obviously looks a little bit different in person now that it is actually completed.

This past weekend, Eric came home again (he goes to school at University of New England so he is only an hour from home) and we spent Friday night watching movies and Saturday washing our cars and eating Chinese food. Then last night around 10:00 I decided to go up to my room and pack to come back to school. It was so weird to think that the week had already gone by and I was coming back to school, and believe me it was not willingly.

Now, as I sit here thinking of things to write about in the blog I am searching for train tickets to go home for Easter next weekend. My mom told me that I was going home before I even asked her about it but I need to take the train into Portland so I can be home at a decent hour and not at 11 at night.

Well I suppose that's it for now...I should probably check to see if I have any homework for tomorrow. I should probably write another entry soon since I haven't written in a few weeks (oops!). Until then...happy reading!!
