A great start to spring break

Why am I stuck in in Auburn right now? It's my senior year and Spring Break started yesterday! Typically I would have been on vacation in Vero Beach, Florida right now, but my Grandma and Papa have been rather ill, so we decided it would be better to stay home this year and take care of them. Shucks. I love them dearly, though. It's definately more important to be with them and make them comfortable instead of wallowing in my own satisfactions. Is it wrong of me to feel a tinge of jealousy, though, that while most of my friends are on sandy beaches bronzing their skin, I am stuck in Auburn, New York? Today the weather is awful. It's not like I can even pretend I'm on vacation. It's about fourty degrees and so grey outside that anyone would swear we were in the middle of December. My mother took me to get a pedicure this morning and on our way out to the car it started hailing! Balls of ice were stricking my freshly-polished toes and the realization set in that I wouldn't even be able to wear flip-flops for a long time. As soon as I got home, I found a warm pair of socks and slipped them over my pink toenails. Welcome, Spring Break 2010.
