So this morning I was quite motivated to get to work early (for a Monday), and pulled into the empty parking lot. I thought "damn, I must be here REALLY early". Then I was walking to my building and there was no one on campus... NO ONE (except for the tumbleweed)! I take the elevator up to the 8th floor (I'm going to start taking the stairs again to prep for hiking season), and notice every single door closed in the main hallway. It was then when my friend Brian sends me a text message wishing me a happy St. Patrick's day. For a moment I wonder "do we get off for St. Patrick's day?". It's not a few seconds later that I realize it's Spring break for the U this week.
Not that Spring break really matters for me... I'm a PhD student and expected to work until someone walks in and finds my bones laying on my desk. It was quite nice to not have under grads flooding campus in the Union and such; although it did feel quite lonely in the building because I really felt like the only grad student working in the department. I kinda felt like I was in a PhD comic. LUCKILY, Steph and I played Scrabble on Facebook all day, so that made things a bit easier. Especially given the fact that I took the lead today and am kicking her ass.
When Maura came in for coffee today, we decided that we were going to go CrAzY for Spring Break '08. Ya know, go bowling one afternoon for a break from work... or maybe slip something fun in our coffee's one morning. Who knows where Spring Break '08 will take us. Who the hell knows!?
Today I did manage to write my best man toast that I will be giving in a couple weeks at my brother's wedding in Orlando. I'm really looking forward to going down there in early April.
Other than that, things have been going well. I find myself starting to look forward to hiking season more and more; but still enjoying this amazing ski season we've been having out here. Going to take a long freaking time for this snow to melt though, that's for damn sure! Just been having fun with friends lately and having a great time.
