Spring Break Blues

It's officially been spring break for a day now and good grief, I'm doing my very best to keep my head up. I'm so bummed because unfortunately there are no big travel plans and no exciting adventures planned for this break. All I'm gonna do is work for 8 hours a day, Monday through Friday -- that should be fun right!? Maybe...!?

So here are 11 things I'm gonna do to keep my head held high this Spring Break:

1. Begin packing up my room (to move all unnecessary things to storage when my daddy comes home in April, because I'm moving OFF CAMPUS IN MAY!!!)

2. Make an extra effort to spend some extra time in the Word and Praying.

3. Try to make a new variety of Macaroons

4. Finish my photo album/scrapbook of China

5. Spend next weekend in Charlotte with my wonderful Grandma and visit my Uncles, Aunts and cousins up there

6. Write 3 Ancient Israel reading installments

7. Begin research for at least one of my two research papers due the beginning of April (Yes, these two are related to school and therefore are not going to be fun, but I will feel a bit better knowing they won't be hanging over my head when I get back to school)

8. Finally finish The Voyage of the Dawn Treador by C.S. Lewis

9. Read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis on my lunch breaks (I'm not a C.S. Lewis fan or anything)

10. Use the extra time at work to get to know the ladies I work with a little better

11. Find some shoes to go with my bridesmaid dress for Laura's wedding in June, as well as some new sandals for the summer time...and maybe some new clothes as well :]

So it looks like my spring break won't be so bad after all!! I guess it's all in how you look at it. I've got plenty to do and with a good attitude, I can have a just as good of a spring break here in Savannah as I could anywhere else.

I will leave you with this:

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice!...The Lord is near." (NIV)

"Celebrate God all day, everyday. I mean, revel in him!" (The Message)

-- Philippians 4:4
