Break!

Break is about over, and I can't wait to get back to school. The last week has been nice, however. I got to rest and recharge my batteries, which was greatly needed. When I come home, be it for a weekend or a week-long break, I tend not to do too much. I believe it is a time for relaxation and that means not doing a whole heck of a lot. I did go see 300 at the Imax, which was amazing. And I am going to Washington D.C. for a peace rally in two days. But other than that, it has been a lot of hanging around the house.

One of the best moments of the last few months occurred on Tuesday around 11:02 PM. It was announced that the Penguins will stay in Pittsburgh for a long time! It was amazing to hear those words after the years of waiting. This team is good right now...but will be simply amazing in a year or two. I fully expect them to dominate the NHL very soon, and it would have been a shame to see them do so in Kansas City. Go Pens!

That doesn't mean I have forgotten completely about school. I read a whole book for one of my classes, and worked on a paper for another. I still need to write another paper for a class at some point before Tuesday. It is getting to the point in the semester where every few days a major assignment is due. Thankfully, there is another break in about 3 weeks, and I'm sure I'll need it by then!

While being at home for a week is nice, it really makes me miss school. I have so many friends at Clarion and it can be really boring without them. The break really makes me appreciate the time I have with them while at school.

That's about all I have for this week. Thanks for reading!
