spring break 09

a college student's spring break....every kid dreams about the wild and crazy adventures they will encounter on these trips. but me. do i get to experience wild and crazy adventures? nope. i'm stuck at home. and just when i think this year will be different and i will actually have a great time, plans change.

so the original plan was to go camping at the beach with a group of friends. then we looked at the weather....in the 40s all week during the day, so i can't even imagine how cold it's gonna be at night...so that was a no go. as nick put it, "i don't want to be fighting off hypothermia on my spring break." and i'm in full agreement there. so we move on to new plans. let's go to the mountains and go skiing and stay at the lodge. well the lodge was too expensive...i mean we're broke college kids, come on! so that was a no go.

but then i thought, what if we rent a cabin. so i do some reasearch. i find this goregous cabin, i call and haggle the price until the guy agrees on $450 for a 12 person cabin for 5 days/4 nights. and the cabin was gorgeous!! it had a hot tub, pool table, great space so we don't kill each other. and we finally got a group of people to go. all we needed now was a credit card to make the reservation. well while waiting for the person with the credit card to call me so i can make the reservation, two people back out and decide they don't want to go anymore.

"it's too expensive."
"what are we gonna do for 5 days up in the middle of no where"
"we have to spend extra money on food and alcohol"
"we're gonna kill eachother after a few days from being all together"

and these were only some of the excuses given. so now it's too expensive for the rest of us to go, and to be completely honest, the group dynamics changed so it would be a lot less fun without these two. so we're not going. and now i'm stuck here in raleigh on my spring break. doing absolutely nothing. how fantastic. it's every college kids dream! NOT...
