Finally, spring break

Thank god, I could use a break from all this stress. School, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Prague, it really wears you down mentally. Eh, not really, but it is spring break, so we're taking full advantage of the double-digit days off.

Tomorrow we fly to Barcelona for three days before Rome, Florence, Sorrento, Capri and whatever else we run into in Italy, including the blue grotto, one of the seven wonders of the world. As you can imagine, I'm pretty pumped.

We fly back Monday April 6, so don't expect any updates until then. And give me a day or two after that, as I'm sure there'll be a novel's worth to write about. Plus, I have a couple of presentations that week, so unfortunately those take priority over blogging. Trust me, if I had it my way, they wouldn't, either.
