Here, in Des Moines, most schools just finished spring break. Usually, I don’t care for spring break, but this year, the opposite was true. I was in desperate need to take some time off from school. Lately, I’ve been incredibly stressed out, and this past week helped me to get back in control, and focus on the things I need to do.
My spring break was pretty boring, in comparison with the majority of my friends. We got out of school on Wednesday, and I attended parent/teacher conferences. The rest of the week was spent hanging out with friends and simply, just relaxing.
On Sunday, my two younger sisters and I went up to Minnesota to stay with our aunt for a few days. She lives in a suburb of Minneapolis, so we were close to everything. Everyday we did something different. One day we went to the Mall of America, one day we went for a hike around the park and one day we just stayed at home, playing games.
We returned home on Wednesday, and the rest of my spring break was spent prepping for future debate tournaments. Next week, my partner and I are going to Novice Nationals in Iowa City.
On Saturday before we had to return to school, I went to see The Hunger Games with a few of my friends. I knew what the movie was all about; I have read all three books in the series, I read reviews and heard plenty of personal opinions from my friends.
When I went, I expected the movie to be just OK. I knew it probably wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as the books, but still okay. Fortunately, I was completely wrong. I absolutely loved the movie. It still wasn’t as good as the book, but I still loved it. For anyone who has not seen it, I would definitely go as soon as you have time.
I hope everyone else had a great spring break like me!
