Spring Break Recap

~SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spring break is officially almost over! I still have like what 3 1/2 hours but still. I’m sitting back in my dorm room not wanting to be here!! I had a fabulous time in Central IL with my friend and her parents! They were super nice to me which made things easier and I had a great time.  Totally better than being home and working the whole week, though the money is REALLY REALLY needed right now, that’s ok I needed the break. 

~So what did we do… We went to the Lincoln Museum in Springfield. Call me crazy but I actually really enjoy history and I never really knew that Lincolns life was as difficult as it was. Being a leader during war times must really suck! We didn’t spend a ton of time in the museum which was kinda a bummer (yes I know i’m a dork, it happens) but enough time to get the basics of the info.  I even got my pic taken with the Lincoln family!!!!!!!!!!! ðŸ™‚

~Springfield is beautiful! I think that I’d like to move there! the downtown area which is really the only part that I got a chance to see was amazing! plus it didn’t look like it had as many bad areas as a lot of metro areas. so idk part of me thinks that I’ll never move away from this God forsaken place…

~During the week we did a lot of shopping. they have a lot of malls all within like a 2 hour radius of each other. I didn’t know our economy could support that many malls in one place but apparently Central IL can. They were all different obviously but really how different can malls really be. they were nicer than the ones around here, mostly because they were bigger but maybe i’m a poor judge cuz i just about hate everything to do with WI… I got some really cute stuff. I got this amazing polka dot dress (I kinda have a thing for polka dots) and I have to say I actually looked hot! and I NEVER say that!! i love it so much, but it was kinda pricey so i might have to return it… sad… but i haven’t decided yet! I also splurged on more books (yes as already stated i’m  a dork)! I might regret going into Barnes and Nobel. its almost impossible for me to walk out of that store with nothing!!!

~Do you know how wonderful Steak and Shake’s milkshakes are? We don’t have any of those around where i live! and OMG happy hour!?!?! Need I say more????? lol… on a more serious note, we ate out like all the time, I don’t really think my friends parents like to cook! they had absolutely no food in their house and it was kinda depressing cuz at home we have tons of food all the time!! you can never go hungry in my house and in my friends, we could! So I’m as of right now on a huge diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah I think I seriously gained like 10 pounds, probably not but i feel that way! So my thought is either eat salads all week, or skip meals or both!! We’ll see, i’ve done the anorexic thing before and its ok for a while but it really gets to ya if you do it for to long!

~I also met a guy! Exciting i know. He was a friend of my friend. We hung out with him for a while on Thursday. He’s pretty cute! I would have totally tried harder if I lived closer and actually had a chance to see him again.  But hey its a step in the right direction seeing as i have the hardest time even attempting to talking to guys that I think are cute! BIG STEP! ðŸ™‚

~I have to say the most depressing part of the week was driving back to WI. We watched the temp drop 25 degrees, that was really sad and then once we hit the boarder it started RAINING!!! I don’t think you can get anymore depressing than that! I really wanted to turn around and go back! It was so warm there and no snow anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There isn’t too much snow here but there still is some!! Not ok with me!! and i just looked at the forcast tomorrow is supposed to be nice but then the next 9 days it’ll be a miracle if we get above freezing. SAD WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not looking forward to it.

~Well I think that just about sums up my most boring life but hey I had a blast!! <3

Reading is a good thing. Barnes and Nobles has lots of good books in there for everyone. Besides, well here anyways, Starbucks is inside. Glad you had a good time. The guy is a good step. Hopefully you got his humber, Facebook thing, or something! And sorry about the weather thing. The cold sucks.

RYN: I thought it was too cold here, too… I’m wondering if perhaps they haven’t been here all winter. :S

don’t skip meals… at least snack. skipping meals gets your metabolism adjusted to no food and when you eat again it’ll digest slow and you stay fat. true story. history is the ****! I have a terrible memory for dates/names so I’m not good at history but it’s interesting. lol my dorm room has no food in it either. doesn’t take long to get tired of eating out all the time does it?
