Thu Mar 05, 2009 23:42 (UTC -5)I’m going home for spring break tomorrow! So exciting! (Requisite Dinosaur Comics link goes here.) But seriously. I haven’t been home in two months, and it feels like such a long time. I can’t wait to see my parents (it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow), sleep in my bed, chase the dog, and hang out with my friends. People have been asking me if I have any plans, and I’ve had to say that I didn’t, but now I do. On Sunday, I’m having lunch with some friends I haven’t seen in a long time.
Did I mention sleeping? Sleeping is the bomb. Sleeping rules the schools. It’s not that I’ve been particularly sleep-deprived lately, but catching up is always nice. But doing things is also nice. I was trying to think of what I did last year, and that’s where having a blog comes in handy. Let’s turn back time: first I visited my grandparents, then went home and visited my old high school, went to the beach and a pool hall, and then visited my aunt on the way back to school. Pretty eventful. Will Spring Break ’09 compare? Only time will tell!
Okay, real-life friends o’ mine: who’s going to be in South Florida this week? We should hang together, or most assuredly we shall hang separately. And that’s no fun.
In case of extreme boringness, I’ll be bringing a book and some magazines. I also did my first sudoku puzzle ever today, so I might get addicted to that. (“omg jordan u never did sudoku? what r u some FREAK??” Don’t get too worked up about it, dudes.) It’s funny, actually. The gorilla guerilla marketers for some college student website had placed their litter advertisements on the desks in one of my classes, and the ad basically consisted of a sudoku (something about keeping your brain sharp or something). I thought it was a lot more interesting than the class, and I finished it eventually.
Incidentally, you’d be surprised at how many instances of guerilla marketing you can find on a college campus. Or maybe you wouldn’t! Also, this might not have been guerilla marketing.

I don’t start Spring Break until next week, but you’re welcome to come visit me at FIU in the best city: MIAMI! :)

We totally should. I was looking forward to seeing you last weekend; sorry we couldn’t meet.

My brother and sister had Spring Break last week and came in. Poor dears. I mean, in this house is my favorite place in the world (I started college as a first step to escape, but then realized that it really sucks out there), but they’ve got their own lives. Mine is week after next; my plan is to get ahead in my homework, so I can get done with as much as possible as soon as possible.

That sounds like a good idea. A very good one, actually.
