Boy this is going to be fun! We get a whole week off from school with no homework! I can’t wait to play at the creek all day, watch TV, eat a bunch of junk, and drive my parents crazy!

What a blast this will be going to church camp again for Spring Break! I’ll get a whole week of seeing my friends that I haven’t seen in a year! I wonder if that cute girl Madeline will be there. I think we could really spend the rest of our lives together. She knows how much of a dork I am and doesn’t care! I hope she likes this poem I wrote for her. I’m so glad I don’t have braces this year. Maybe we can make out.

This Mission Trip with the Young Life group is going to be a really neat experience. We get to tear down some walls, sand some hardwood floors, paint, and grow closer to our friends. The work we are doing for the poor is very important. This will be my last high school Spring Break. Good times.

I’m so glad I moved to Austin. It sucks living alone but I have Emmitt the cat now. College classes are going well. I really need to work on my English writing assignments if I want to be caught up when Spring Break is over. Nah, they can wait. I’m going to call Rob and see if he wants to play golf and go out for some beers. Where did I put that fake ID?

Party! This road trip to South Padre Island is going to rock! We loaded up our camping gear and should be there around 2:00 AM to get a good spot on the campground. We decided to sleep for a few hours in the car in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot before heading over to set up camp. Spring Break on the beach! Oh shit. It’s starting to rain! There is only about a foot distance between campsites. It’s muddy as Hell! I wonder if the Sheraton has a room? Sweet! Ninth floor! Split three ways we should be good for one night. It’s about 10:00 AM and that’s drinking time on Padre Island!

Spring Break? Already? The time has just flown by! What are we going to do this week? It’s raining. No surprise there. It always rains during...
“Hey! Stop that! Your sister does not want you to sit on her! Don’t throw that toy chainsaw! That’s it. Time out, mister. Come back here! Don’t make me count to three! 1... 2...”
Next year we have to plan a trip or something. All these kids want to do is sit around and watch TV, eat a bunch of junk, and drive me crazy!
