Spring Break 2013 .

For the entirety of my college career I have never gone somewhere warm for Spring Break. Freshman year, I puppysat for my friend and just stayed at school (which I guess is warm, given it's South Carolina, but I didn't really travel anywhere). Sophomore year I went home with my roommate Josh up to Jersey, to hang out and visit NYC and all that fun stuff. It was in the 30's and rained a few days too. Last year, I can't really remember what I did (that alone tells you how exciting it was) but I'm pretty sure I went home to work for the week.

But this year is different. After trucking through an agonizing 9 weeks apart, I am finally on my way to visit my girlfriend in Naples, Florida where she is working. 9 weeks is the longest we've been apart to date, and it was not easy. And so this time, I'll be in somewhere sunny and warm for Spring Break. I'm not really much of a beach person, and hopefully it's not too terribly hot (or humid, because I sweat uncontrollably) but I'm sure no matter what happens it will be a break from school and that's what I need most.

Spring Break Countdown .

Some schools are (amazingly) already having their spring break. Perhaps Clemson is just an anomaly  just like for other holidays. Most other holidays we either have no day off at all or a shortened day or something like that. But never have we ever had a winter break that was just shy of five weeks. This year, I'll be visiting my girlfriend in Naple, FL. Let's juist say, the countdown is now under two weeks, and I'm definitely counting down the days! It'll be great to spend some time with her; by the time we see each other it will have been almost 8 months! Honestly I don't mind having a later spring break. Just means that there is less time after that before the end of the year!
