Hello Everyone!! Hope you all are doing well and excited for the warm weather to begin! We know personally that Spring/Summer can't come fast enough! We're both so tired of being cold, and wearing turtlenecks and jeans everyday! There is so much to tell you all about the past few weeks. A lot has happened since we wrote last so we better begin to tell you ALL about it!
Last week was La Roche's Spring Break. It actually fell earlier than most schools because it seems as though a lot of schools have a combined Spring
Break and Easter. We are actually really lucky here at LaRoche because we not only get a week off for spring break, but we have Wed night, Thursday, Friday, and Monday off for Easter as well! It is such a nice break! We have a lot of plans for Easter break but first we will get to telling you about our Spring Break.
Spring break couldn't have come at a better time for me (Courtney). I was getting a little lax on my school work because I was just anticipating break so much. I did so much over break between homework, hanging out with a few of my good friends, seeing family and working. My two friends from La Roche Ashley (who is also a blogger) and Meghan and I all went out to lunch together at Red Robin one of the days over break. We had a really great time and even managed to get sort of 'lost' on the way to the restaurant. We made it safely, and will probably always remember our adventurous ride to the restaurant. I also spent three different days at the nursing home that I work at. It was nice to be able to see a lot of the residents and a lot of my co-workers that I normally don’t get to see on the weekends that I work.
The one thing that I was going to miss while being home over spring break was watching "One Tree Hill" with my roommate and her boyfriend. We have sort of made it a tradition to all watch it together on Tuesday and talk about what is going to happen on the next showing. So, I was sort of upset that we wouldn’t be able to continue our tradition, but to my surprise they came over to my house and we all still got to watch it together!!!! It was an especially good episode so I'm really happy that I didn’t have to watch it myself and not be able to share my feelings about the show with anyone!! haha. I think that the best part about my Spring Break was getting to spend time with my boyfriend. It's so hard going through the week without seeing each other, but when we do, its always so much fun! He goes to Penn State so his break wasn't the same time as mine, but I still got to see him more than I normally would and it was just a great touch to my break!
I had a whole list of homework that I wanted to accomplish over Spring Break but I barely even touched that list. I kept putting it all on the back burner thinking "Oh, I have a whole week, I don’t need to do this right now" and guess what? The break went super fast and I was left on Sunday night completing it all. It wasn't too bad although, I thankfully got the majority of it done, and I am now all caught up. I often wonder how a lot of people can go away over Spring Break and still manage to stay caught up with work? I wish I wasn’t always so worried about homework, and I could totally forget about it for a whole week. That would be great! I did a lot of other things over Spring break but I think I should leave room for Chelsea to tell you about her break also! Hope you all continue to get excited about Spring and Summer!!!
Hi Everyone!!! It's Chelsea. My Spring Break went super fast! I didn’t get to do much other than homework over break but it was still so nice to be home with my mom and brother and get to eat my mom's cooking! I had a twelve page research paper to do over break because it was due the week we came back and I also had a big project to work on as well. The project was due today (Monday March 17th) and even while working on it almost all break I still had a lot to do to finish it by today. I stayed up until 2:30 last night working on it! It doesn’t matter now although because it's done and I'm really excited about how it turned out. Another thing I got to do was baby-sit. Now, in my case I wasn't babysitting a younger child, I was babysitting my dad!!!! My dad had to get back surgery over my break because he had six bad disks in his back. Courtney and I went over a couple days to 'baby-sit' him. It sort of was like we were babysitting because he couldn’t do anything on his own. It was very painful for him to walk, so we just tried to keep him comfortable and do anything that we could for him. It turned out to be a good couple of days because I got to relax for awhile each day, watch my favorite TV shows (mostly the design programs on TLC) and catch up on some lost sleep.
I also worked at the nursing home over Spring Break as well. I know a lot of people probably wouldn’t think working was fun to do over break, but when you work with such good people and friends like I do it is actually a good, relaxing and fun day. We always have a great time at work which makes the day go by so fast! I think that the best part about my Spring Break was getting to see my dog Nala. I just love her! I will have to post a picture of her sometime. I miss her a lot while I am at school. There was only one thing over Spring Break that I wanted to do and that was going out to eat with my family for my grand pap’s birthday. They all went out to eat at a place called "TJ Hideaway" but I wasn't able to go because I had to finish my project. My mom wasn't able to go either because she had eaten something earlier in the day that made her really sick. She was so sick that she couldn’t even get out of bed. So we missed out on a really fun family event, but Courtney took a picture of the entire family while they were all out so you will all get to be introduced to them all!! I hope that you all enjoyed reading our blog and continue to read it as we post more!!!
HAPPY SPRING!!!! :)
