Rude Awakening (Blog to Learn, Day 14)

I have a lot of catching up to do, but I would like to spend very little time on this entry. ...aaaaaaannnd GO!

I have been absent for a lot of reasons. I have been sick for my entire spring break, thanks to my roommate's girlfriend. Five days of coughing her germs into the house means that I got her cold...just as my allergies kicked in. I can say that I am glad to be be nearly done with this, the day before I have to return to work, but I would have given anything to enjoy all of my break, instead of having to sleep half of it away. Ugh. The worst of it is that I'm fairly certain my mom is now sick, with the same cold that won't die.

Our mini-trip to NYC was fun, despite the illness, though! We took my mom to see Wicked, and basically ate our way through the city. Highlights include: the show, Totto Ramen--which I will dream about for years to come, Teuscher chocolates, and Otto Dix at the German Expressionist show (courtesy of MoMA).

Unfortunately, this coming week marks the beginning of performance season. I would really like to be done with all of it. In fact, the second half of this break has left me more disenchanted than when it began. I'm chalking it up to an odd sleep schedule and inclement weather, but I'm going to need to break this spell, and soon. Right now, I'll be happier when the coffee kicks in.
