This week I've come to realize that spring break is *not* the same for grad students as it is for under grads. Last Friday all the under grads came to class with their suitcases in tow ready to head to the airport straight from class. One girl was even wearing a giant straw sunhat and flip flops. I, on the other hand, had no plans to use my passport. My spring break plans included spending the first half of the break getting some writing done and the second half doing something fun. I didn't get the work done I'd hoped to the first half of break, but I decided to take the second half of the week off anyway. Keith and I talked about going down to LA or Monterey for a few days. At the last minute Keith's friend, Mike, was in town for business and came to stay with us for a few days. We were really looking forward to spending some time with him and having some fun in the city. Unfortunately, right after he arrived, Keith got really sick and spent the next 2 days throwing up. We had as much fun as we could sitting in our livingroom watching the rain fall and some daytime TV. Thankfully Keith is feeling better now, but spring break is over and I have to start on homework again. Oh well. Maybe next year I'll disguise myself as an under grad and head to Cancun.

That's terrible! I hope you get a vacation a little later this year.
I am sorry that your spring break turned out that way. Better luck next time!
At least you got to hang out with Mike! Too bad you couldn't visit with him on a romote island.
