My spring break started with a wimper and ended with a louder wimper. Although my week consisted of some interesting moments including aiding the spawning of a certain species of fish, it concluded with me laying 240 square feet of ceramic tile. It was rather like a Trading Spaces episode without the cute, yet quirky Paige Davis running around. Ten hours of manual labor went into 240 square feet and I was finally able to get to bed at around 2:00 A.M. I awoke this morning sore in joints I didn't even know I had. Needless to say, I have gained a fair amount of respect for "The Working Man" now, and am sooooo glad that I'm going to college so I can hopefully get a career that doesn't require much manual labor. I'm Stillwater-bound tomorrow with an ice chest full of home-made goodness that will probably last me the week before I'm back to whatever I can scrounge up myself or stomach from restaurants.
