It is here. I have it. It makes me just want to be outside in the sunshine and avoid my work. It has me keeping a daily count-down. .....Spring [break] Fever has arrived.
This little taste of beautiful weather has left me ready for Spring. I'm feeling a little burnt-out and Spring Break (only four days away) is just what I need for a little relaxation and change of pace. I don't really want to just "sit around"; in fact I will be working at Stone Ridge Tavern over my break and working on MTW/Mexico support raising; I just want to do something different then study, read, and write papers. I've learned that I'm a socialite. I thrive on interactions with others. Therefore, working as a waitress is just not work to me...I love it. However, studying in my room in solitude, or doing research for a paper=work! I ready for a "work" break.
So, Spring Break here I come!
I have also kept myself busy this past week with things other than school work. This weekend our apartment hosted Amanda's (my roommate) birthday party. We had a pot-luck dinner, played board games, and then later in the evening when out to sing karaoke. Saturday evening I attended Mi Familia's culture show, then attended the "after-party" at a local restaurant where there was Salsa dancing. Sunday afternoon, which was gorgeous, I went bike riding with some friends and then finished off the afternoon with a jog (triathlon season is just around the corner!).
I just finished a midterm!, and the only things between me and Spring Break are a 6 page research essay for my Spanish Seminar Class, a few lesson plans, and some readings. I also plan to go out for half-off sushi with some friends on Tuesday and maybe throw a night of Salsa dancing in there somewhere.
In Mexico/MTW news, I will begin calling potential supporters this week to talk about them becoming part of my support team (either prayerfully or financially). Pray for me...this is a new experience. Thankfully, God has given me other missionary friends (Melanie!) who have been encouranging and supportive with words of guidance as well as a great coach from MTW (Tracy) who is great with answering my questions and staying in-touch with me.
In turbulosis news, I go to pick up my LAST bottle of medicine this week. HAS IT REALLY BEEN 9 MONTHS ALREADY???? I actually will be taking the meds through May, but I can't believe it will be my last (let's hope!) trip to the Health Department.
Enjoy the weather!
