Block BREAK
Hey Everyone,
I know that everyone looks forward to the end of the block to head to the high country to enjoy their favorite outdoor activities; however, its nice to sometimes put the break in block break. I didn’t have a particularly stressful block, but even I found myself exhausted from class, worn out from lacrosse, and fighting the plague by last wednesday.
In any case, it was great to head to the mountains to get in a couple days of skiing, a few days at home, and a TON of sleep. Although Vail didn’t quite get the ‘waist high pow-pow’ that Steamboat did, there was plenty to go around.
Although there is plenty of relaxing to do wherever you choose to spend block break, I have quite an unfair advantage. Having home an hour away means laundry service (sorry mom), gourmet cooking, and luxury ameneties. I feel a little bad not enjoying some of the back-country skiing, dance parties, and ample company that some of my other friends did, I don’t feel that bad coming back to take on a block of statistics after averaging 12 hours of sleep for 4 days straight.
Although some of my fondest memories and wildest adventures occured on block break, it’s nice to take a breather in the hectic life of a Colorado College student. In any case, there are many adventures to look forward to. In the next month, the lacrosse team will be travelling to Virginia and then Florida for spring break. As my dad says sarcastically, “Life is hard, huh?” With my own sarcasm, I would have to agree.
Until next time,
Onward!
