Much Needed R+R

This past was spring break….and I took the break part every seriously.

Once classes where done I was off to NJ without looking back. My sister and brother still had a few days left of their break so we got to hang out at the beach together for a bit before heading home to see my dad’s latest set for a local production of “Grease.” 

My siblings left soon after that and it was just me and my parents at home.

So what did I do?

Nothing.

I hadn’t brought my laptop, I only checked Facebook a few times, I ignored my email for the most part, and I didn’t do any school reading.

It was a complete detox.

Instead I cuddled our dogs, saw a movie with my bf, went for ice cream on opening day, walked the boardwalk, beat my dad at pinball, played pool, watched TV, and saw “Heathers” - a musical I’ve wanted to see for a while now.

Kramer loves to cuddle close

Ralston and Buffy like to play tag sometimes.

Misty mornings

So much better than the movie.

Unfortunately the break eventually had to end. 

Now I’m back at school and have a ton of work to get through - so much that only a few all-nighters will get it done. Still I wouldn’t do it any differently. Graduate school is draining in ways you can’t really explain so a few steps back every now and then is necessary.
