Spring Break!
The one thing that everyone looks forward too in the spring semester is spring break. Spring break is only a week off school but you'll be amazed how much can happen in a week. Since i don't have class on fridays my spring break started a day early. My first couple days of spring break were slow for the most part, but as Sunday approached i got more excited. Sunday finally came and it was the day i headed to Chicago. My Aunt and Cousin came down to Belleville for a funeral and i caught a ride up to Chicago. We left for Chicago around 6:30pm and arrived just outside Chicago(my aunts house) where we dropped off my aunt and then we headed towards my cousins apartment. We arrived at the apartment around 12:30am. The next day we woke up and went to the grocery store where we bought our food for the week. We later went to go see the movie, "She's Out of my League". I thought it was a really funny movie. After that we went back to the apartment and crashed for the night. The next day my cousin took me to the top of the Sear's Tower. They have these 3in thick glass boxes that hang out the side of the 103rd floor, it was nuts. After our legs stopped shaking we did some shopping on Michigan Ave., which is the major street and where most of the stores are. We then went back to the apartment and crashed again, after some dinner my cousins friend came over and we went bowling. We bowled for a an hour and a half and then went to go crash again. The next day was a little bit slower, we didnt have anything to do till late at night so we decided to go rent some movies. We rented, "Couples Retreat" and "Invention of Lying".They were both really funny and good. 8:00 rolled around and it was time to go to a trivia night at a local bar. We didn't do to good because we were short a whole bunch of people but it was fun. After the trivia game i went to go visit a friend of mine at Northwestern University. I spent the night over there and had a good time. My cousin came to pick me up around 10 and we headed to the Chicago Science and Industry Museum. We stayed there for a couple hours and then left to go back to her apartment and chill. I was due to leave at 4:30 so we left about 3:45. I was to ride the Mega Bus home, the bus took about 6 hours after being 30mins late to start. I arrived home about 11:30-12, it was good to be home. After that i didn't do much with my break except watch a bunch of College Basketball, I was so happy when Kansas lost. But the only other big thing that happened on my break is Saturday night i got to go to the john Mayer concert at the Scott Trade Center. It was a good concert, it was actually my first one in a stadium. Now I'm back at boring old school.
