One of the benefits of going to a Catholic university is that we get a long break for Easter. Typically everyone goes home. Like, campus turns into a ghost town. In the past, I’ve had to stay for the crew regatta that takes place on the Potomac… but seeing as how I don’t do crew anymore, I have a lot more freedom with my weekend. It starts today!!!
I’m not going home, let’s face it, it’s impossible to get work done when I’m home. (Sorry Mom, but it’s true.) The house is loud, there’s always some sort of shopping to be done, and we have a television in almost every room. Not a good working environment.
I’ve made a schedule for the weekend and I can’t wait! What’s on the docket?
I’m spending today catching up on sleep, filtering through email inboxes, gearing up for next week, and writing cover letters. Then, I’m meeting up with some friends who graduated a few years ago tonight.
On Friday, I’m doing more cover letters/job searching in the morning. I’m also really excited to go watch the afternoon races at the regatta on the Potomac. It will be the first time that I’ve really exposed myself to the sport since I quit. I feel like I have plenty of time from then and now so I can actually enjoy the races.
And Friday night… HUNGER GAMES!
Bah- I can’t wait for it. I read the books over a year ago and I’ve been holding off watching the movie because I don’t really want to see it. Correction: I really want to see it, but I don’t want the magic of watching it for the first time to be over. I still haven’t seen the final Harry Potter movie for this exact reason!
I’m definitely planning on going to see the movie alone with a big bucket of popcorn and a Diet Coke. I rarely drink Diet Coke, however, it’s required in a movie theatre!
Saturday is going to be a day dedicated to writing a paper that’s due next week. Not that much fun, but I like the professor and I like my topic so it shouldn’t be too bad.
Steph and I have planned a picnic for Sunday! How fun is that? Here’s to hoping that we have good weather since we got rained out of our Cherry Blossom plans!!!
Monday is catch up day and I have a few meetings.
The end.
Sorry for the randomness of this post, but I’m so excited to have a few days to myself. (And I’m praying that my dorm is actually quiet over the weekend!)
What are your Easter plans?

Sounds like a great weekend- perfect balance of work, play, socializing and time spent with yourself. I hope you enjoy the weekend!
I'm heading to my hometown either tonight after work or early tomorrow morning. It's a 3 hour drive, which I'm not looking forward too, but I can't wait to see my family and spend time with childhood friends!
Happy Easter!
sounds like good break. doesn't it feel awesome to catch up on things and have a little bit of time leftover for fun?

Wow- good for you in having scheduled plans for everyday! I have a 5 day "weekend" starting tomorrow and coming up with a schedule always makes me feel like my break ends too quickly.
I watched the last Harry Potter movie way after it came out, for the same reason your mentioned. I definitely shed a tear. 🙂
Eat Cake
I go to a Luthern school and we only get Friday off. 🙁 However, my weekend plans are to go to Easter Vigil on Saturday and Easter Mass on Sunday. I'm Catholic so this is our biggest weekend of the year 😀
I agree, I can rarely get work done at home (way too many fun distractions!). I don't have an Easter break sadly, but luckily my professors are being nice and I don't have class today and I don't have Friday classes. So I'm home! Very exciting. Have a great break!

My sister goes to a Catholic school, too, and I'm seeing the Hunger Games for my second time this weekend! Other than that, it's just mass and Easter Brunch at the club!
