Free At Last!

Yesterday I finished my final essay of the semester so I am officially free of school for a month. Although I enjoyed all of my classes I am happy to be on break. However, it seems as though the chaos never stops and this winter break will be very busy.... which is a good thing. What's the point in living if you're not living each moment up to your full potential? Over the next month I have the following things planned....

Dew Tour- The college has offered me a unique opportunity to work at the Winter Dew Tour in Breckenridge. To put it lightly I am beyond stoked. Wednesday we'll be able to interview athletes and for the rest of the competition we'll be manning the CMC booth and enjoying the games. It'll be a great experience and I couldn't be more excited about it!

Hot Springs- This semster has been pretty stressful and I found the best way to relieve that stress is through my favorite high school sport, swimming. Unfortunately there's only one lap pool in town and a membership there is rather expensive. Luckily they offer a unique volunteer program where you can trade work hours for a free membership. I talked to the man in charge last night and it looks like I'm in! Free membership here I come!

Carribean Cruise- So far I've been pretty out of the loop on this one. My family decided we'd go on a cruise in January instead of trying to fly everyone to Colorado or me home for Christmas. Although it'll be a bit delayed and there won't be any snow for Santa's sleigh, it looks like Christmas will be in somewhere in the Carribean this year. Originally we were going to go to Alaska but that fell through. I couldn't even tell you what time my flight leaves or which islands we'll be visiting which makes it a bit more of an adventure.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff- You may or may not have realized it but I'm a complete book nerd. If this wasn't proven true through the countless books I burned through over the summer you can take last night into account. I took a few of my textbooks to the bookstore and somehow managed to make more then I spent at the beginning of the semester which was awesome. But my new found wealth didn't last long. After finishing my essay I took a trip to Off The Beaten Path which is a great bookstore off of 9th street. They didn't have the book I wanted in stock and since it's a two week back order I simply had to pick something up. The gentleman taking care of me suggested Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff by Christopher Moore. I just started it but so far it's really funny, and a great way to finish up a semester that included countless religious based conversations.

Those are just a few of my adventures planned for winter break. Hope everyone enjoys their time off!
