The One, The Only, Spring Weekend

Hey folks,

Well Spring Weekend has come and gone. Now we are well on our way to the drudgery and stress that are finals.

Now that I am done being knee-deep in papers, however, let me tell you about the magic and majesty that was Spring Weekend 2010.

It began modestly enough, I finished my intern hours up in Admissions and headed back to the room to see what everyone was up to. I decided to take quick nap because I was so tired and I knew that the rest of the weekend would not allow much time for sleep.

At the usual time, we went over to Roche Commons for dinner. We were all laughing and joking around. It got a little out of hand and let's just say some food left the plates and got onto each other. Mashed potatoes make a very nice accessory on a sweatshirt...

That night, we went over to the concert in the Sports Complex: State Radio and Girl Talk. State Radio was playing when we got there. They were really great. Brian and Eamon are big fans of them and I have to say, I may be converted too.

Girl Talk came on about a half an hour after State Radio left. Girl Talk mashes up songs and makes it into one giant beat. It was OK. I mean, the guy just pressed play and danced around. I wished it would have turned into a second mixer, but everyone tended to stay stationary. One of the highlights though was when my friend Conor popped one of the giant balloons they passed around. It was filled with confetti and when he burst it, it rained down us as we cheered like kids.

The next day we woke up early (like 11:30) and went to Back Bay Bagel for some breakfast. It was a rainy Saturday, so after eating my chicken salad on a bagel, Brian and I suited up to head to the carnival. Because of the rain, it was being held inside.

I actually gotta say, it was pretty cool. They had things you would get outdoors (mechanical bull, boxing, and free frisbies) as well as some cool things meant for indoors (mini golf and an inflatable obstacle course). I was pretty impressed. After the carnival, I tried to catch some z's during a midafternoon nap. Once I got up, me and a few guys went over to Mario's for some Italian food. It hit the spot and gave me the carbs I needed for the mixer.

Soon enough, we were at the mixer. It was a pretty fun night, all in all. It was, as always, made better the next day by swapping stories over brunch. It was actually pretty hard to believe spring weekend was over.

Well, at least there's next year...

Take care! I'm off to enjoy summer. More to come soon!
