The Bipolar Spring Break

This has been the most bipolar spring break I've ever encountered. It is almost over and so much has happened! Lets talk about it shall we!

- My mom has been out of town on a cruise and my dad met up with her in Florida. So, my sister and I were alone for the beginning of my break. I was lucky enough to have gas, money, and the company of my crazy sister and best friend Joy to make it alright. I ate too much, I spent tons of money on pointless stuff or food, and I fell asleep at 4 in the morning far too often for no reason.

- I worked a lot more than usual, I got ugly looks from some managers, I got some smiles, I had my laughs, it was just work.

- When my parents came home we all talked about their trip and what not. It was nice to have everything back to normal. But when they asked me about how I'm doing, the answer was simply 'eh.' Eh?! Eh is not a good answer, by the way.

- So it got me thinking about one thing, then another, and another, up until the point of tears. Contemplating everything from my weight, my major, my college, and just live in general. I got unhappy in a matter of hours, even after having such a fun week full of stuff.

- So, I did the only thing I could do at a time like that. Sit on the floor curled up in a ball crying to my mother. I admitted that I don't really know what I'm doing, and I just don't feel excitement anymore, and I just want to get the hell out of Phoenix, Arizona.

- My mom did something incredible. As I sat there crying my little eyes out, my mom said "Go somewhere! Go to L.A. and take a drive. Go to a beach, just relax and think!" She started looking up hotels for me when I said ... I want to see Eian...

- I don't know if you readers remember Eian. But he was my boyfriend in high school who lived in San Fransisco. We are really great friends and I had always felt at home there, and it was the only place I wanted to be. So, my mom hopped onto south west airlines and bought me a ticket to California on march 29th. 2 weeks from today.

- Today was MUCH better. I finally have something to look forward to, I went to a baseball game with Joy (Cubs lost), we went and played bingo (I lost) and tomorrow we are seeing 21 Jumpstreet.

- Do I want to go back to school, hell no! But this spring break was definitely crazy, and needs an ending. I'm going to try to lose more weight before my trip, and just figure everything out.

Goodbye spring break 2012. It was interesting.
