Spent

It feels like a lot has happened and yet not much at all. I'm feeling really spent.

B and I went to Cape Charles, VA for a few days. His friends from grad school rented a house for a few days, and it was so cheap and there was so much extra room, that they invited us down. It was relaxing. Being the off-season, Cape Charles was completely dead, we rarely saw another person (the ones we did were really local). In fact almost everything in town was closed on Tuesday, except for a restaurant in what the locals call "Jelly Bean Jungle" - the luxury, marina neighbourhood on the water filled with pastel-coloured McMansions.

I've been so looking forward to spring break for the past few weeks. I've already read two books, on top of having the little vacation in VA. But now I have to catch up on schoolwork, do my taxes, apply for financial aide... There's always something, right?

But I'm feeling restless these days, eager to get away. That urge to escape I so often felt in college. But I haven't the means to get away and so much to do in the meantime. Blah. Maybe it will pass.
