SPRING  BREAK!!

Spring Break: a well-deserved time of rest and the best way to put one's mind at ease after pushing to the brink in order to pull all "A's" by the time that the gaping black hole, that is the end of the quarter, swallows one whole.

I began my spring break alongside the comfort of my best friends before most of them left for exotic places for the week. We began to reminisce about what was to come in the final quarter of school and what we look forward to most about prom and summer. The next few days included a lot of soccer, late nights, and early mornings. On Tuesday, my mom and I took a day trip to Las Vegas. We spent our short amount of time exploring the strip, attending the intriguing wax museum, riding on the New York, New York roller coaster, dabbling in the fine dining in the luxurious hotels, splurging in the exciting shops and stores that the malls had to offer, and finishing our day off on the brand new Ferris Wheel that towers over the lit up strip.

Arriving back in Arizona I found myself spending most of my time tanning with friends. The days were short and sweet as I noticed that my final days of Spring Break were coming to a close.

The best is still yet to come...

On Friday, my family, friends, and I went to the Phoenix symphony and watched them perform the music of Queen. It was unique and exhilerating; I loved every second of it.

To conclude my break, Jeannie and I attended the Pot of Gold music festival down in Tempe. It was a day/night to remember. We listened to music from artists of Hoodie Allen, Slightly Stoopid, and Kendrick Lamar (OUR FAVORITE!!). Standing in a claustrophobic area of over 2,000 screaming fans for over 4 and a half hours in order to get a front row view of Kendrick definitely had its interesting moments. A woman threw up in a cup and refused to talk to security, and another woman lost her 7ish-year-old son and refused to go after him because she wanted to stay to watch Kendrick!

Everything was well worth it though! I had a wonderful Spring Break and am looking forward to getting all of my AP tests out of the way and make it to Summer break in one piece. :-)
