Will it ever end

Next week is Spring Break, and I am sure everyone automatically thinks of vacations to Cancun or some other fun and sun location. I don't think I have EVER had one of these breaks, or anything that can be in any way confused for such. This Spring Break is going to be no exception.
I already had planned to work two of my three jobs and do research for two projects that are due at the end of the semester, and make my poster for my presentation in April. (Which I have barely touched.) Well now on top of that I have just been given a mid term essay to complete for one of my classes, and the Professor I TA for just informed us that we will be grading a quiz over the break as well. I had great plans to get caught up and even maybe ahead, but in reality that isn't going to happen.
Luckily I have the task of also trying to plan my trip to the United Kingdom (England, Ireland and Scotland now) that helps me get distracted. It is far more fun to search for cool things to do, bargain hunt for airfare, and dream about all the places I can take great photos. While I am going to miss T terribly, I think this is going to be a great experience for me. We get to work on some preservation projects while we are over there that will really look good on my CV. Plus T gets to come join us the last week of the trip.
In addition, I do get to go on a small trip for Spring Break. My work is sending me to one of the State Parks to finish a project, and they suggested I stay the night. So T and I get to go do about two hours of work in exchange for free room and board in an awesome historic cabin at a great mountain area. I also bought T tickets to Blue Man Group for his B-day, so that should be great fun as well. Now is we can only get a game night scheduled in there, it won't be such a bad break after all.

I hope you do lots of relaxing, i mean working, during Spring Break. It sounds like you are just so crazy busy. I would be going insane with stress.

We once saw The Blue Men Group, it was a lot of fun and your trip to Great Britain sounds awesome!
