Spring break plans!

Sleeping in was a great idea today, but would have worked better if I had been able to do it. I've been having trouble sleeping this past week, and it's making me crabby. I had hoped that after our 6 mile walk yesterday, I'd fall asleep real easy. No such luck, though. Normally it's people that wake me up, screaming and laughing and fighting, but this time it was the weather. We haven't had rain or snow so much as sleet. I would've called it hail...tiny balls of ice, but Dad says it's probably sleet. Anyway, that woke me up after I was FINALLY able to fall asleep. And then my body decided it wanted to wake up at about 8. Not fair.

Anyway, today was an easy day. I like to think of Sundays as "me" days, where I just get to sit around and do nothing. You'd think that's how every day is, considering how much free time I have, but I've been working hard to stay busy. I had lunch by myself today, first time in a long time! Nothing super exciting. Melisa came over and we studied for the GRE again. For anyone who might not know, the GRE is the graduate record examination, and I need to take it to get into graduate school. I'll need to take it this summer, so I can take the psychology subject matter test in November. I'm brushing up on my math skills, as well as analogies, etc. I'm sorry to say that everything needs work! I do, however, have nothing but time (and free GRE prep websites).

We also went over plans for our spring break. It's very exciting--Melisa and I booked tickets today. We are spending a few days in London, 4 days in Paris, 4 days in Rome, about a day in Milan, and then 9 days in Spain (around Madrid, Barcelona, etc). It's a lot cheaper than you would think, flying around Europe. I can't wait :) I think this is the part of studying abroad that I have been looking forward to the most, considering that I don't know if/when I'll ever be back here!

Melisa and I cooked fajitas for dinner. They turned out really well, all things considered. I'm relatively sure they don't have sour cream in the UK...we couldn't find it anywhere, so we just did without. Dad did find me a substitute, though, and I'll look for it tomorrow when Melisa and I go grocery shopping. We live such exciting lives. I'm going to check my mail tomorrow after lunch, which should be exciting (provided anyone sent me mail). And I'm going to visit the gym and see about getting a membership. I am getting lots of exercise just by walking, but the gym would definitely give me something to do!
