Ah, lucky girl.
I don't think I'm doing anything really special, since my break is only like...3 days. Last year I went down the shore for the day, but it was really cold. We shall see.

Our Spring Break isn't until April. Which for a second seemed so far away since our calendar by the comp is still on February. Haha.
Anyroad, We're going to my niece and nephews house, and I'm also gonna get my braces tightened.

Emma, you lucky butt! I love Jon Stewart!
The Rock Hall was AMAZING!!!!! So here's how my trip went.
Got to Cleveland on Saturday, got to the hotel, etc. Decided to walk to this mall about four blocks away for dinner, only to get there and find out it was CLOSED. It was freaking COLD out, too. I couldn't feel my face.
Sunday we went to the science museum, which was way cool. I crash-landed a spaceship, and played this cool little piano thingy for like 2839479823 minutes.
And Monday I went to the ROCK HALL!!! I was walking through the Rolling Stones exhibit, when I turned the corner and saw JOHN'S SGT. PEPPER JACKET. I am not joking when I say I was thisclose to passing out. I got a little lightheaded and sat down on the floor right where I was. They also had his tan performing jacket, two guitars--acoustic and electric, HIS HELP! CAPE (used for both the album cover and the movie), and his leather jacket--the one used for the Rock'n'Roll album cover. I was in heaven, pure heaven. And that's just the stuff that was on the wall, there was a whole display case of papers underneath that. Handwritten lyrics to In My Life and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Lennon family snapshots, and one of my favorites--his school report cards, which were absolutely hysterical. On the bottom of one of them, the headmaster wrote "He has too many of the wrong ambitions," etc. It was SO funny. The math teacher wrote "Poor. He never makes any really sensible efforts." XD XD
Then I turned around and there was a whole BEATLE wall. Well, I just about COMPLETELY passed out there. They had a business card for the Quarrymen, JOHN'S GLASSES, Ringo's stage jacket, the handwritten score to Hey Jude, postcards from John to Julian...SO much stuff. Uberly amazing.
As for other musician stuff...Bruce Springsteen's jeans that were used for the Born In The USA cover, Phil Spector's recording equipment, a shirt worn by Bob Marley (they had lots of shirts worn by lots of people, but I had to mention the Bob one because I LURRRRV Bob), an orange Chuck Berry outfit, three pairs of Ray Charles' sunglasses, the nail that Les Paul used to invent the electric guitar (there was a huge Les Paul exhibit, which was way cool), a ton of Jimi Hendrix's stuff (including the two coolest outfits EVER), two of Neil Young's fringed capes and handwritten lyrics to Rockin' In The Free World (also a postcard to Neil from Paul & Linda McCartney), Elvis's paycheck from the Ed Sullivan show and his telegram to the Beatles (plus a white jumpsuit, of course), and SO much more. I was there for at least six and a half hours. ;D
Yesterday...yesterday was bad. I spent the entire day locked in the hotel room sobbing over the phone.
And otherwise...that's it. ;D

I think mine is March 25th - 27th. Crappiest Spring Break EVER. We only actually get two days off from school, Friday and Monday. I'm so angry. But anyway, we were gonna go skiing but I think that kinda fell through, and now me and my friend are hoping to get everyone up for going to New York for the day, which would be pretty cool. We'll seeeee.
