Who’s tewnty-five years old and gets a Spring Break (and is [thank the heavenly stars above] not a teacher)?
ME!
Most people in my program are not going anywhere for Spring Break, maybe because they think that would be silly or, justifiably, they have a lot of homework to do over the week. I approached the week off of school a little differently by buying a ticket to Chicago without telling anyone. A few days after I purchased this ticket I called my lovely friend Elizabeth to tell her I was coming to see her in Chicago in only a few weeks’ time. Rather than exclaim pure tinkling notes of ecstasy, she told me she was moving back to Kansas in less than a week. Oh, cripes.
Alas, never fear! I have many a friend in the city. My lovely traveling companion, and all around trickster friend, Jill, lives there as well and it’s going to be a weekend of hamming it up all over the city. “Look out Midwest! The Jill and Kristina Comedy Troupe is coming through!” <—Might need to work on that intro, it’s a bit of a mouthful.
I think eating is on the agenda.Obviously some shopping will be dominated. Beer-drinking is high up on the priority list. It’s going to be pretty fantastic.
After Chicago I head back to Killer City (that’s Kansas City to all the non-thugs out there) for a little relaxation and down-time. I have little-to-nothing planned for the rest of the week so I am looking forward to a little solitude before the more strenuous second half of the semester.
I’ll try to be around with some updates, but I’m not promising anything. When we’re not busy cracking other people up (which is actually rare) we are lost in a torrent of hilarity amidst the two of us.
Bring on Adult Spring Break!
