I am so glad that i got to see everyone this weekend! even thought it was brief. and nancy, you have encouraged me to write in this again haha. I didn't realize people were actually reading it so i GUESS i'll keep it updated :)
So for most of you, i'm sure, this is your spring break...must be nice! wish i was still at home to enjoy it with you all, but i will be there easter weekend so see all of your pretty faces again!
The week before spring break is always a pretty rough one, all of your tests kinda hit you like a ton of bricks, but luckily i will be done with all that mayhem by wednesday evening.
So i have been looking around for new artists and you guys should check out bonnie somerville. Laura and bailey, i think ya'll would like her a lot (nancy, you might enjoy her too!). Her voice is very different and interesting, here is her myspace:

It is so sunny up here right now, i love it. And i keep thinking, school will be over this friday and i can enjoy it, but really, i will be working most of the time, so i will probably have less time next week than i would on a regular school week. booooo. but i am excited because i found out that my friend from home, jared, is coming up to lbk to visit bc he used to go to tech, and my friend lauren will be here as well, to work, and ryan will be too since he doesn't have spring break.
Thats one thing that i am not looking forward to growing up about, no spring break! the real world doesn't stop. isnt that such a shame? i am in a tourism class and i learned that in most other countries it is a government law to have a minimum of around 6 days of paid vacation. and in japan its 10! most jobs give you paid vacation, but in the U.S., a lot of people don't take it, and studies show that when they do, they are still connected to work somehow by checking in with their secretary or checking emails etc. I really hope that i don't find myself in that habit when i grow up. maybe i should move to spain, we learned that in spain, they take 3 hours out of the middle of their day and pretty much shut down everything for resting/napping. thats some sweet stuff right there!

It was GREAT seeing you this past weekend. And thank you for doing all that writing, recording all of Whitney's gifts, etc. That was no small job!
By the way, If you become a school teacher you get spring breaks. ---- just a thought.
Great post, by the way. It was worth the wait.
they do that in italy too, the taking a break in the middle of the day thing. and businesses seem to open later in the day as well. i think America is just too obsessed with working; there are more things to life.
and I actually have one Bonnie Somerville song--it's on the Garden State soundtrack, "Winding Road". I really like it, and will for sure look more into her now.
