Spring Break Nonsense

When my spring break plan was down on paper and being discussed it seemed a lot more fun and exciting. Touring the east coast for colleges and hanging out with cool people and seeing the sites. It didn't really fill my expectations for it.

Friday mourning when we left it was down pouring. It took us two days to get to Boston Massachusetts and when we got there it was busy and traffic jams and tons of people everywhere. And of course my dad had to run around to every place he went to when he was there and that would have been fine but we didn't just visit his old houses and offices and other things. We were at this one grocery store for about half and hour because my dad remembered going there are looking to buy something, but he couldn't remember what it was he was buying. So anyway after that we checked in to our hotel. On Monday we visited Wellesley which is a beautiful campus and everyone was so nice there. I met up with some people and we all went to dinner and it was really fun. The cool thing for me was that the people weren’t just from Wellesley they were also from Harvard and MIT and I got to talk to people from everywhere. In Tuesday we went to Tufts which I didn't really like as much but it was still a very nice school. And later that day we stopped by Brandeis for a quick info session, which I have come to dislike a little bit. Wednesday was spent driving down to Maryland. It was much nicer laer in the week which made it a little bit easier to be walking outside for a couple hours. We went to John's Hopkins which was a super nice campus and I would love to be there. On Thursday my dad had me visit the Air National guard for an interview just in case I was interested but I think that he wants me to do it more than I do. On our way back home we stopped at Washington College in Delaware. I really liked that school as well. I basically liked one college from each state. Driving back I got to drive over the Chesapeake Bay bridge which was pretty cool for me. We got back Saturday afternoon.

Besides running around, sleeping, and eating subway for every meal, we got some reading in. I read Grapes of Wrath, of course, but I also spent some time re-reading the Hunger Games books for which I recently saw the movie for. Always great books and I recommend them. And that it what I did over spring break.
