That is all I have to get through until one week. One week of my parents and favorite little sister. One week of no homework, no stress, and sleep. Lots and lots of sleep. Not to mention the possibility of some shopping, and hopefully some sunshine if Arkansas ever decides to make up it's mind on this whole weather thing. Spring Break. The one week out of the semester that is set aside for literally, nothing. Where kids get to forget all about school, work, and the pressures of "real life" and just spend an entire week having FUN. Obviously, this week is going to be fabulous.
Now while the obvious spring break destination for the typical college student would be the beach with a group of friends, I get the pleasure of making a seven hour car ride, with my parents, to Nashville, Tn. Now while I am not a huge fan of extraordinarily long, and unavoidably uncomfortable road trips, the fact that it's with my family makes it somehow bearable. If you know my family at all you know they're a little crazy. My Dad, having lived in a house with four girls for the past twenty years, has officially embraced his feminine side. This is a man who one minute is talking about all of his "real man's work" out in his shop, and in the next sentence with no shame, will ask us to play the Highschool Musical soundtrack (then accuses my sister of being a communist when she says she doesn't have it). My mom on the other hand, is the one I wouldn't want to mess with. She's about 5 inches shorter then me, but I'm pretty sure she could still take me if I got her mad enough, so it's a good thing I'm just so easy to get along with (insert my mother rolling with laughter here). She's the one in our family who pretends to not think our sense of humor is funny, or attempts to keep my dad from completely reverting back to acting like a three year old. But deep down we all know that that is simply just an act. Then there's Sam. My little sister. She's fifteen going on twenty-one. She is also the thuggest five foot, bleach blonde, white girl you will ever meet in your life. She can dance circles around anyone I know, including Shakira. If the energizer bunny and the little guy from the red bull commercials had a child, it would be her. She goes and goes and goes and there is no off switch. So obviously, if you hadn't figured this out already, this seven hour car ride should be quite entertaining to say the least.
Now all that is separating me from this fabulously entertaining week is two days. What really amazes me though is the fact that Friday night, when I finally make it through my Chemistry 2 test, and get home I'll look back and think this week flew by, that I can't believe Spring Break is really here! Then in no time the week will be over and I'll be headed back to the good 'ol 870 for just a few more weeks of school. And there went my first year of COLLEGE. It's crazy looking back over the year, and realizing that it's almost done. That in approximately a month, I will be a college SOPHMORE. Is that even possible?! It seems like yesterday I was 10 years old, playing on the playground with my bestfriend Hannah Blake. I feel like the older I get the faster time goes, and while I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for my future, I also wouldn't mind a little slow down. A breather, and a time to take in what will supposedly be the best years of my life. But how about after I get this test over with Friday? ;)
Always,
Stevie
