In Spring Break Mode

     Happy Wednesday! So this is the last week before spring break, and I cannot wait for those two weeks when I don't have to worry about school. Unfortunately, all of my teachers decided to pile on the tests this week, which is super annoying because I'm already in spring break mode! I have two more tests this week (both are tomorrow) and I just really don't feel like studying for them. I'm so excited for spring break that I've decided to make a list of all of the things I want to do over my time off from school, so that I don't waste a single day. Here's my list:

1. Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

I've always loved St. Patrick's Day -- I love to pretend that I'm more Irish than I really am (I'm maybe 15% at best?) and I've always been obsessed with Ireland and Irish culture. I'll definitely wear green, cook a dinner with corned beef, cabbage, and mashed potatoes, and I might even go to the parade! How will you be celebrating the day of luck?

2. READ

There are so many books I want to read over break. I'll probably make a post on my to-read list...I think there are maybe 30 books on there as of now.

3. Study for the SAT and ACT

This is one of the things that I'm not exactly looking forward to for spring break. Yep, while most of my friends are tanning at the beach on some tropical island, I'll be crying while trying to read this soul-sucker.

4. Study for the APs

This will also be a source of depression during spring break, unfortunately. At least I'm only taking the AP for U.S. History and English, though.

5. Watch "Skins"

So I've only watched the first episode of this show, but I really liked it and I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I'm going to make it my goal to watch the first two seasons (plus it's on hulu for free!).

6. Bake things

I don't know why, but ever since the snow days I've had this urge to bake desserts. It's probably because I like to eat desserts, but I actually enjoy the process of baking something, especially something new. I'll have to try out some new recipes over break!

7. Work Out

 Ugh, this one's going to be so hard for me to motivate myself to do, but I really do need to try to get in shape. I probably won't be doing it on a scenic beach like this girl, nor will I look as good doing it, but hopefully I'll be able to be a bit more active than I have been (which, if my calculations are correct, adds up to 0.0 hours a day).

8. Go Exploring

Ah, the open road. Definitely one of my favorite things. I hope I'll be able to see some of this while exploring with my friend!

Carpe Diem,
Brooke
