Spring Break!

Right now I’m in Arizona enjoying spring break with my family. The weather is beautiful; it’s nice to be away from the cold for a bit. I’ve been spending my time shopping, learning to golf, and seeing relatives. I miss my friends, but it will be hard to go back to Michigan at the end of the week because of the cold and all the school work I have to do.

Last week things were really busy with an exam and lots of assignments due before break. Fortunately I don’t have too many things due right when I get back so I don’t have to study while I’m on vacation. Spring break marks the half way point in the semester so there will be lots to do as the semester comes to an end.

I found out last week that I was accepted for a study abroad tour. In May I will spend two weeks studying the culture and history of Russia while staying in Moscow. We will have lectures both by the University of Michigan professor who is leading the trip and professors in Moscow, as well as excursions to see many of the historically significant sites. I love traveling, and this is a very unique opportunity. I’m so excited to go!

I’m going back outside to enjoy the sunshine!
