Vacations

Saturday, September 6th, 2008 | Life

This past week has been great. Being back home without the day-in-day-out nightmare hell-hole life-drain that is Cape Cod has been amazing. Between the inordinate overtime doing what I changed my major from in the first place to my chauvanistic, asanine wonderful roommate, let’s just say I’m looking forward to my Caribbean cruise in November.

Hell, I’m even looking forward to RIT; what does THAT say…?

But it’s been really nice being home. Being with my family for more than a weekend, lunch with old friends, my first legal drink; it’s all been fun.

Last Saturday we went down to Foxwoods to see Cirque Dreams Pandamonia, a show related to Cirque du Soliel, and it was phenomenal. From the clowns before the show proper started (whom I got to act with a little; made my night =D ), to the amazing acrobatics and athletic feats, to the final curtain call, the entire show was astounding. I would go again in a heartbeat (and for any guys reading this, it makes a great date. A little pricey, but totally worth it.)

I’ve been able to cross something off my list as well. My dad, brother, a few friends, and I went paintballing last weekend, and had a blast. Running through heavy woods, going after the other team’s flag (even if it was just an old t-shirt on a stick), getting shot at, and sweating our asses off…ohh, damn was it fun. Definitely something I’m glad I did, and will certainly do again.

I’ve also been able to rekindle some stagnant friendships, which has been great. There may even be the possibility of something deeper than simple friendship on my horizon. I’m hopeful, but only time will tell if the winds of change will sail my ship in that direction. (C’mon God, praying for a little breeze here…)

It really has been a great week. But alas, all good things must come to an end. In the meantime, I just keep telling myself:

Two more months…
