Fall Break Blog #6 and #7

I imagined my fall break to be four days of straight sleep. My Mom and Dad had other plans for me. They had a list of chores for me the minute I walked in the door Friday night. Expecting a hug and a “how are you, miss you so much!” was quickly replaced with a list including vacuum, cleaning dishes, and dusting. I hate to say it, but I was expecting it because of how much of a neat freak my mom is. Once the chores were taken care of, I decided to go get my nails done and enjoy some alone, peaceful time. Saturday was a day filled with sleep and grocery shopping with my aunt and cousins. Saturday night was what I referred to as “sibling night.” I called my best friend and her and I decided to go see Taken 2. We thought it would be a good idea to invite her sister and my brother to come with us. The movie was great, even thought I was hiding in my sweatshirt half of the time. Once Monday finally rolled around I was anxiously waiting to go to downtown Chicago. Shopping, eating, and taking in the beautiful atmosphere was all that I had planned and it couldn’t have been a better day. A weekend that I wanted to be “not so eventful” ended up to be one jam packed with family, friends, and excitement. I couldn’t have asked for a better break!
