Simply Serendipitous

I’m writing to you from the pretty much the most exciting place I can imagine writing a blog: en route to Key West, Florida with four of my closest friends.  Pretty great, right?  Yeah.

So this is my first spring break that I haven’t returned home at all and it’s been a ton of fun so far.  A friend of mine lives here and she brought four of us home with her to spend time in the city, take a two-night excursion to Key West, an overnight to Ft. Lauderdale, and finally come back to Miami for more exploring and shopping and (hopefully) tanning.

It’s been a perfect way to recharge in the middle of the semester, which, by the way, has been quite an odd one so far.  With the snow week so early on, it was pretty tough to get into the swing of things, and by the time I realized midterms were coming up, I felt pretty far behind.  I had an insanely busy week and managed to make it through the exams and papers, with this beaming light at the end of the tunnel.

Better still? By the time we get back to Baltimore, it’ll be in the middle of turning into real spring weather, which is by far my favorite time of year.  It’ll definitely make it a little easier to go transition from Miami back to Baltimore when I know it’s sunny and warm.  Of course, this does feel like my last week of freedom, given I have an LSAT course awaiting my arrival (I’m actually missing a few lessons this week), and I have to start thinking about my finals and term papers.  But hey—I’m going to enjoy this beautiful sunny Florida while it lasts and take advantage of my first ever very-college spring break!

I’ll be sure to recap the trip once I return to Baltimore, but as of now, it’s hard to say what’s ahead of us!

UPDATE: We just got to our hotel in Key West and it’s going to be quite an experience…it has this lovely little courtyard thing below, but the downside is that all guests are supposed to be 25+, which was not the minimum age on the booking site we used.  Gotta love being threatened by management upon check-in!  And now, off to Duval Street for dinner and shopping!
