Easter

So far things have been going pretty well. Easter was two days ago, which was a nice time to visit home. I went home Sunday morning and stayed at home until about 7:00. I have not been home in a while. It was really nice to go visit my parents and relax at home. Nothing is better than some home made cooking.  I have missed my parent's cooking. At school, I either eat out, eat on campus, or cook my own food. My parents made a delicious dinner. I was stuffed after dinner and even had some food to bring back to school. 

While I was at home, I was able to get a lot of my homework done. It is so much easier to focus on schoolwork at my house. I was able to study for a quiz and wrote a paper for my English class. I brought my dog home too. Both of my parents love my dog. They always want me to bring her, when I come and visit. Since I have a fence around my whole backyard, my dog is able to run around wherever she wants. This helps me not having to worry about her wondering off somewhere she is not suppose to be. At my house at school, there is no fence and sometimes she goes off running in the woods. 

I am very excited for this upcoming weekend. This Saturday is the Salisbury game. Salisbury is a big conference rival for us. This is the biggest game for us every year. Everybody always looks forward to this game. The game atmosphere is insane. Everyone is pumped up and excited to play this game. In the past years, the games have been very close. I am very excited to play against Salisbury. We don't like them and they don't like us. This game is going to be very fun to watch.

summer is coming

School is slowly dwindling down. It is almost summer and I cannot wait. There is nothing wrong with school, but the amount of free time that is available during the summer is awesome. I need a nice long break from school. I do not usually do anything crazy during the summer. I usually spent my summers at home, but last year I spent the majority of the summer here in Owings Mills. I had an internship with one of my teachers and at a location in Baltimore. It was easier for me to live over here during the summer, instead of commute from home. It only would of been a 45 minute drive, but the amount of gas would of started to build up after a while.

I am going to try and spend more time at home this summer. I did not get to hang out with my friends from home as much as planned, so I want to make changes this summer. I will be participating in another internship this summer in the Baltimore area; however, I am going to spend more time at home. I am going to spend periods of time up here in Owings Mills, but then go home for a longer period of time.

I do not have any vacations planned for this summer. I am going to make a few trips down to Ocean City, MD. A lot of my friends go down there and a good amount of them live there during the summer. I would never really want to live at the beach. I don't see the point of working at the beach, just to make enough money to live there. Then after the summer, you really don't have a large portion of money left over, because you had to spend it on living costs at the beach. I would rather make trips down there and spend a whole lot less of money. This way I can still have fun, and get my priorities taken care of during the summer. Even though the end of the semester can be pretty tough, it is nice to know that summer is right around the corner.
