Spring Break 2009 Will Keep Me Smiling For Days to Come

Spring Break 2009...

Wow. What a week. I'm happy I'm one of those people who don't forget everything when they "let loose" as Greg put it. If you know what I mean. Because if I forgot this week, the pictures I took would not suffice for what happened. Pictures cannot explain how much fun I had. Sure, the smiles and laughs documented in the pictures could show we were all pretty happy, but I want to remember the feeling of it, not the way it looked. I hope that makes sense.

This spring break had its ups and downs; I'll be honest on that point. When I think about it, the downs were all pretty harsh. And the ups were all pretty great. I learned a lot, whether or not I was ... completely in my own mind. Yeah, I'll go with that. (: I met a lot of great, new people and got to know people I've already met a little more. I think I made some new friends, but I could be wrong. People either like me or they don't. 
 
I finally experienced the overly cliché, high school, teen movie party scene. It was fun and I'm glad I did it. Everyone needs to step out of their shell at some point and live a little. ...Or a lot. I don't regret anything that happened this week. (Even if I did get caught.) I had fun and it was something I needed to experience and do. This spring break sort of taught me a lot about myself and things in general. Like, don't drink fruity drinks. And don't move someone when they feel sick. And angle the camera differently so you don't cut others out of the picture.

It was a good week. With good people (mostly). And it was a good time.
Thanks to all who were there (and all that took care of me. Haha.)
