Hello Bloggers, This past week has been Champlain's spring break. For some reason this year I decided not to do anything and stay here in Burlington. That was not the right choice because only a few others stayed back. Also, we had a snow storm one day and my car was blocked in for a few days and I couldn't leave my apartment.

Saturday the 5th was an interesting day. I woke up to find a band playing right outside my front door on church st. celebrating Mardi Gras. It was very loud and started early but Magic Hat was the sponsor so it was good. I was surprised to see how many people were around even though the weather was a little bit wet. Ben and Jerry's was giving out free ice cream and there was the Queen and King competition.

The parade followed a little later down on Main st. People crowded around waiting in the rain for the parade to begin. Lots of candy and beads were thrown out. The kids behind me were going crazy jumping on us to get all the beads. And these were college students. There were a lot of interesting floats and a lot of music. It was very festive. The Alice in wonderland floats was my favorite, it was nicely decorated. The parade was an hour long and my knees got a little soar and i got a little wet but It was fun to see.
The rest of spring break has been nothing but relaxing. It has been warming up but rainy so I've been spending most of my time in-doors cleaning and watching movies. I have been ordering a lot of Netflix to watch. I recently watch the movie Up In the Air. I've also watched a lot of One Tree Hill and The O.C. because they are always on when I turn the tv on.
I'ts a bummer school has to start back up again because I am so used to not doing any work. Hopefully all your spring breaks were just as relaxing and productive. Maybe next year I will make the right decision to actually do something during spring break.
