Nerd Love. They Say it's the Most Honest Love There Is.

So today's title is actually unrelated. I just like the quote, haha. Thank you Jordan for the inspiration.

I hate breaks from school. If they're longer than a few days, I want nothing to do with them, and here's why:
-I start off by bidding all my friends good-bye. I know I'll see them again soon enough, and we have ways of keeping in touch with facebook and cell phones and whatnot, but it's always sad when you have to bid someone you care about goodbye.

-Next, I have to pack. I dislike packing greatly. It seems like a big waste of time to pack stuff orderly, because I'll still have to dig around in my stuff to find it. Then I just unpack everything when I get to my destination. Seems like a waste of time and energy.

-Then comes the car ride. If I managed to find a ride home for whatever break we have (which I didn't for this spring break), I have an 11-13 hour car trip ahead of me. Sure, I just sleep most of the time, but that's still an incredibly long car ride. You sit in place for 12 hours and tell me how you feel afterwards. Not great, I'd wager.

-Then comes the week or two or three of month of whatever of being at home. While I do like going home every now and then, it tends to be full of people I need to see, things I need to do, etc. By the time I come back to school, I'm either out of things to do completely and bored, or I'm exhausted and just barely finishing everything I needed/wanted to do while I was home.

-Then I get to pack everything again.

-Then I come back, get to hang out with my friends for an evening, and start back to classes the next day.

It's a rough system, but someone's gotta do it. I won't go into detail about the times they kick us out (10 AM over breaks, if we're lucky). Or the times they let us in (again, 10 AM the day before classes start. Some of us have a 12+ hour drive...). I do love my school, and most of the people who attend it. But seriously Concordia? Oi.

I'm not sure why or how this turned into a rant about my college's break policies. Oh well. You guys got to hear me rant a little bit. That's why you're reading this, right? To find out what's on my mind or whatever? There you go.

Do I come across as jaded and cynical sometimes? I don't mean to. Those of you who know me (which right now is, I'm pretty sure, all of you) know that I'm not this cynical about things. I promise.
