well, the second half of spring break was quite eventful. i'll just give the highlights...
saturday, march 17: erin go bragh, etc. corned beef was had. as well as cabbage.
sunday: more time in the morning at the hospital. i had to force myself to leave so i could drive up to boston. for real. force myself.
monday: pete and i's day. we didn't do much. i mostly just remember eating. though not just good things. story time...
we went to bertucci's for dinner. first of all, the rolls were cold. at some restaurants, that's alright. not acceptable at bertucci's. then, we ordered the mussels appetizer. when it arrived, i was surprised when the mussels were cold. though i grew more concerned when i found ice on some of them. we sent those back, only to find out that they were out of mussels. great. we got the shrimp scampi instead, which they comped, and the waitress hovered for the rest of the meal. which reminds me what else was hovering over our food. the flies. lots of little flies were very interested in what we were eating. i didn't want to look away from the food, for fear they would steal it...
tuesday: i had an interview! at 7:30 in the morning....which meant that the night before i had an emergency buy a blow dryer and nylons event. at cvs. anyway, the interview was at children's hospital and they offered to have me work there this summer, being the official orthopedics department hand specialty lackey. booyah. i then spent the rest of the day hanging around enc, with kara for a bit, then luke, and a bit of a nap in the library. i talked at enc that night about being in med school, which went well, i think.
wednesday: i drove down to leicester, near worcester, to visit an old friend. i spent the night at the durost's, and hung out with jenni the next day.
thursday: jenni-time, then went back to boston to have a small group time with pete, and some other charles river young adults. margaritas and the book of acts. excellent combo.
friday: pete and i drove up to new hampshire. he had a retreat to play at, while i went on and visited another jennie (i collect them). which was an adventure, because i was driving pete's car, which is a stick shift, and i haven't had that many hours driving one, though i do know what to do. and i also got lost...and then my cell phone died. so i had to pull over, and i charged the phone at a dunkin donuts...
saturday: hung out with jennie, then drove back to pick up pete, then drove to foxboro, then i drove back up to logan to pick up my cousin rich who had spring break in florida. whew. pete and rich and i went out to dinner that night.
sunday: i got ready to go back to syracuse. i left foxboro, started driving when BAM! my hood flew open on the highway and crashed into my windshield, forming the most extensive cracks i've ever seen in a windshield, and freaking the crap out of me. i was in the right lane, so luckily i was able to pull over on the side of the road easily. i called AAA (for the second time in less than two weeks) and pete. pete and rich came to save me on the highway, and wait with me for the towtruck. i got a tow, and went back to the boys apartment.
enter bonus spring break time:
monday: figured out bus schedules, talked to the body shop, talked to the glass people, talked to everyone again 600 times, watched that day's lectures online, missed the last bus in the evening....and made my mom's famous sausage soup, which of course was not as good as my mom's....
tuesday: woke up ridiculously early, pete drove me to south station where i made the 7:10 bus narrowly. i slept the whole way to syracuse.
this was the most eventful spring break i've ever had. and i've had spring breaks....drove to florida, stayed with a friend's crazy grandparent's one year....
for a bit of an update: my car has a new windshield, which was more of a hassle than you could imagine. the body shop didn't do anything to my car, because they wanted exactly one arm and one leg in order to do it....so we're on the lookout for a cheap used hood for a 96 saturn.....anyone have any leads?

whoa! That's the craziest story about a car hood that I've ever heard! Are you sure that's not an early April Fool's Joke?
Bertucci's - yah, they're going downhill in my book, too. Our last one at the Needham store was a disaster, too - messed up orders, long waits, etc.
Did you hear what happened to our 95 Saturn? Kim Marie was backing up the driveway (she likes to rev the engine pretty hard when she does this), when it all the sudden stopped - and seized. So much for the little green Saturn. I hope your's holds up better post new/used hood.
Bertucci's - yah, my last trip to eat in at our local Bertucci's was kinda disastrous. They seem to be a lot better at takeout these days - at least at the busy stores. The one in Framingham is still really good for eating in - we take my parents there pretty often.
The Saturn story sure sounds frightful. I'd've been ready for a little extended vacation time after that, too!
