10 things I learned over spring break
I learned a few things over the break:
1. You can get a lot more work done when you don't have to go to classes or teach. You can also get a lot less work done.
2. Movies in the middle of the week are fun. Robots was a pretty dumb movie however.
3. I can still fall asleep in movies during break with a bunch of people I don't know well. How well I know the people is no determining factor in my ability to fall asleep or stay awake.
4. Playing Settlers of Catan is a good game to break the ice when you introduce your boyfriend to your mother, especially if you win (well it's always a good game when you win)
5. Four hour naps everyday are good on break weeks too!
6. You can go to Chicagoland to go to church on Easter Sunday. Churches are open, but the mall is closed. So much for the religion of consumerism.
7. If you decide to get married and change your name, you better make sure you save multiple copies of that marriage certificate, even if you get divorced. Otherwise, if you're like my mom and your wallet gets stolen two days before you have to fly somewhere, you'll only get a new driver's license if you beg and find the mercy of a compassionate supervisor. Without a driver's license, you can fly even with an expired photo ID, but you cannot rent a car.
8. K's Merchandise deeply discounts Fiestaware and sells individual pieces.
9. The colors turquoise, scarlet, orange, yellow, rose, and shamrock look awesome together.
10. And of course, spring break is never long enough!
