Earning Money and the Easter Bunny!
Over the past 2 weeks, a lot has been going on. I went home for Easter break, which was nice, because my family hasn't seen me since Christmas! I brought home with me the picture from the newspaper from when we went to Albany for the basketball finals. My mother was less than amused!
While I was home, I went to work for my aunt. It was fun, and I got paid which made it even better! I also had my evenings free, so I got to go out and see my friends. The best part of being home was being able to spend time with my nephews. They are getting so big so fast. I remember when the younger one was born.
Now he is crawling and starting to walk (with some assistance!)
On Easter morning, we had an egg hunt on the front lawn. My 2 little guys made out like kings and had a great time.
For Easter dinner, my family came to my house. That made me happy because it meant I didn't have to drive anywhere. I'm really out of practice with that. I did get to drive my Mom's new car while I was home. That was really cool even if it was only to the store and back. I also got some much needed rest while I was home. It is nice having my own little apartment in the basement, it makes me feel all grown up! On Monday afternoon, I came back to school. It was great to be back, but I am glad I got home to see everyone. While I was home, I did all my paperwork for summer employment.
This past week, I jumped back into my studies but had some fun too. The weather was simply beautiful all week, so I went out and took it all in. Wednesday, after the Senate meeting, I went out to dinner with the guys. It was a blast. Apparently Applebee's is a popular place for St. Peter's students to dine. It was so much fun to just chill out with the guys in a stress-free environment. Thursday, after class, I met up with my friends and went to see "Into The Woods" in the theater. The drama society did a wonderful job of putting the show together. It was sensational. On Friday, after work, I decided I was going to go see Disney's Tarzan, the newest show on Broadway. The fact that they sell the first row for $20 to students only sweetened the deal. The show was amazing, the special effects were jaw-dropping, and the flying was beyond belief. I can see myself seeing it again soon! This weekend I helped with the oratorical contest, which went really well. I didn't get to see who won though, I had to leave right after lunch to go to work. Yesterday, I just kind of loafed around and did homework because the weather was horrible. Today the weather was better, not 100% but better. Hopefully tomorrow will be nice, I am supposed to go to the city with some friends, since its one of my days off from class. To update everyone, Mom and I are going to Las Vegas next June, after I turn 21! I am really excited about going, I have never been and I hear it is beyond belief. I've been having a good few weeks, so this week's quote is upbeat, as usual:
"I'm standing strong and tall, I'm the bravest of them all, if on courage I must call, then I'll keep on trying and trying and trying!"
