Work Hard, Play Harder

As the weekend approaches and the anticipation of spring break grows I can't help but realize what a slacker I've been in the blogging world lately. I feel like every time I post I find myself apologizing for being M.I.A. Well, here I am.. finally!

Lately all I can think about is warm weather and the promise of summer sun. I think this cold gloominess has gone on too long and is starting to induce depression. Where are you sunshine? Please hurry up! Unforunately summer vacation is still 63 days away. Yes, I have started a countdown. But as long as 63 days sounds the end is distantly in sight! On the upside spring break begins in only TWO days!! Alleluia! The idea of a week long break from Organic Chemistry, fractional distillations, and the endless memorization of types of fungi is almost too good to be true. I actually found myself talking about how "cool" a species of fungi was tonight. Never before has a break been more needed. I truly enjoy learning but before this semester I've never experienced the urgent need to "get away".

Speaking of getaways. I have a few fabulous weekend vacations planned this month. And by a few I mean two. Two small but AWESOME trips! First: St. Louis here I come!! On my list of favorite cities to visit St. Louis has easily entered my top 3. I have been lucky enough to visit this city a few times and have had great experiences during each trip. I leave this Friday for the much needed road trip to the city I love so much. I am so excited I can hardly study for my exam in the morning (blogging, facebook, twitter, and gmail chatting aren't helping me study either).

Second on my list of March vacations is Gatlinburg. I LOVE Gatlinburg!! To be honest I've only really been there one time and it left me wanting more. There is nothing I enjoy more than hiking in the beautiful mountains, hot tubs with a view, and a few beverages with great friends. Not to mention go carts. Yes!! I'm getting anxious just thinking about it!

With all of these wonderful things to look forward to it's no wonder I can't keep school on my brain! Alright, time to get back to studying.. aka reading a few of my favorite blogs before it's time to fall asleep.
Goodnight all!
