Spring Break

my spring break in a nutshell: (in no particular order...)

• visited three college campuses in an attempt to choose a graduate program for the fall.
• played a lot of yahoo euchre. there were two nights where without realizing it, i stayed up until 6am playing. thats my obsessive-compulsive-kinda-scary side.
• made a house call to one of my advisees homes to pick up a recommendation form for a math camp and to help her complete the application (thats the ONLY teacher thing i did do).
• went on one really lame date which i think has forced me to give up internet dating all together.
• ate 3 big macs - with extra sauce of course.
• only turned on my TV to watch piston basketball...the end of the season is so boring. i cant wait for the playoffs to start.
• shared easter dinner with a coworker and her in-laws (which she refers to as her out-laws).
• met up with some old girlfriends and their kids for dinner.
• tackled the flu (although the cough part seems to still be lingering).
• got an email from my principal saying how proud she is of my growth over the past two years and how sad she is that i am leaving. she says she will miss me.
• got another email from my principal (two days later) asking me to submit my letter of resignation to free up my space so she can hire a replacement.
• attended my first "funeral viewing session" - not sure what its called formally, but the day before the funeral when you look at the dead body and offer condolences to the family.
• ordered wings from buffalo wild wings. one of my favorite restaurants from back home that i just discovered has opened 20 mins away from my place. comfort food.
• paid all my bills. apparently in my hell weeks prior to spring break i had received a few collection notices that i never opened. oops.
• received a phone call from my mom who is currently in India. didnt expect a call so it was a welcomed surprise.
• did a lot of sudoku puzzles. even invested in an elctronic handheld sudoku game that sucks cuz its hard to read the screen. i like my book much better.
• got my first pedicure of the season.
• ate an entire box of lofthouse cookies in 3 days. that cant be good for me. but it felt good.
• booked a ticket to fly home for a good friend's wedding in june.
• only drank 5 beers all week (and 4 of them we on the friday we got out of school).
• decided that i will be attending Howard University this fall to get my Masters degree.

the most worthless day of my existence...

what a waste of my first day of spring break. i spent more time in bed asleep than anything else. i didnt even shower (eew...gross). i didnt turn on the tv. i did nothing today. normally i would feel guilty about wasting a day...but the fact of the matter is that i have 9 more days left of vacation. i will be sure to use those more wisely than i did today.

woke up at 10am with a sore throat and a fever. stayed in bed until noon reading, and doing sudoku puzzles. crawled out of bed to jump into the car and get to the bank to deposit a check. came home. got back in bed. got out of bed at 4pm. went to IHOP for a big steak omelet and a short stack of strawberry smothered pancakes. came home. played euchre online. got back in bed at 6. got out of bed at 9pm. still feeling feverish. it 9:30 now...maybe i will just chalk today up as a completely worthless day and go back to bed for the night. after one more game of euchre, of course.
