back to the grind...

It's Sunday night and I'm back in Alfred. Last week was spring break. Boringboredyborebore spring break. Weather was good on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, I didn't get out much to experience it. I saw a couple of friends at the beginning of break and then basically sat home with my mom all day watching tv for the rest of break. I probably should have done some kind of homework, but it was break. BREAK. Meaning a break from school, no homework, no work, no worrying.
Well now, I'm more than worried. I'm in the middle of a freak out. When I got back on campus I basically had to go straight to work, taking away 4 hours of my day that I could've been starting on my work. Three big assignments due next Monday, a "celebration of learning" aka an exam this Wednesday,14 hours of work at Friendly's and Taco Bell, plus regular homework and meetings and an attempt at a social life?! This week is going to be crazy and I'm sincerely regretting not doing anything over break. You'd think you'd be able to ease back into things after break. NOT A CHANCE.
On the bright side of break, I may have discovered one of the coolest places in the Greater Rochester Area. Ok, so I didn't "discover" it. BUT, I got to go for the first time on Monday and had a BLAST! It's called Color Me Mine. It's a ceramics studio, where you buy a ceramic piece and paint it yourself. What makes it better than buying a random ceramic piece and acrylics at Wal*Mart is that they glaze and fire the pieces in a kiln so they come out in beautiful bright, shiny colors that won't wear off. One of my girlfriends was working when I went in so I got a secret discount. (shhhh, don't tell!) I ended up having a great time, and went back later that week to make a present for someone. I definitely felt out of place though because there were art students from a near by college painting these intricate, beautiful pieces while I was trying to make a flower on a square tile. But I had a lot of fun and can't wait to give the presents to my family.

These entries always seem to be a little scatter-brained and absent-minded, but I guess that's a pretty sufficient display of who I am. It's bedtime for the tired. More comin' atcha soon!
P.S.- 10 DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY!
