I was thinking of spring break alot today. The other 2 interns that I work with (from another school) are on spring break right now, so it's been busy for me - which is a good thing. LSUHSC (my school) doesn't give a spring break, which kind of sucks. So today got me thinking what I would do if I did indeed have a spring break, and I realized how much life has changed.
The last time I actually went on vacation for Spring Break was probably about 3 or 4 years ago. Of course, we went to the beach, got trashed 5 days straight, slept very little, and well....things that go on at spring break. If I were to actually have a spring break today, I would do nothing of the sort. Spring break for me now would include relaxing in bed catching old movies and tv shows, reading shitloads of books, hanging out at the coffee shop, maybe going to some cool shops around town, and taking walks. All of that sounds wonderful. Funny how the idea of fun changes as we grow older.
I'm still very much looking forward to Mexico in May. I'm still all about getting trashed on the beach, but it's not so much getting trashed just to get trashed. Now it's more about relaxation and taking time to myself, something I've learned that I don't do very much.

Guilt Trips on a Monday
Without getting into too many details, I really hate it when people make sad attempts at putting guilt trips on people. If you need constant reinforcement, there are probably certain professions (such as counseling) that you probably don't belong in. Geesh...
Today was actually a decent Monday aside from the above comment. I think what kept me going strong today was that I know I don't have my ethics class tomorrow night....just the internship and I actually enjoy that, so it's all good.
As I walked into school today, I noticed a piece of paper in my box. This paper was strange. It was a form to fill out to nominate ourselves for the dean and/or chancellor's award. Who does that? Shouldn't it be the faculty's job to nominate us for said awards. I just find it strange and conceited to nominate one's self for an award. What does it actually mean when you get it in that scenario.
And finally, I've been enjoying Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. It's the first book I'm reading for the Banned Books Challenge, which I'm getting a late start on. I read this book as a child and absolutely loved it. It feels good to revisit it. Carl is starting a Fantasy and Fairy Tale challenge really soon that I'm REALLY looking forward to. Already starting to think of my books. I think I'll finally read The Last Unicorn for this one.
