The best spring break

I was waiting for my spring break really bad, but I didn’t spend it as well as I wanted. I was planning to spend my vacation in Miami or Las Vegas and forget about real life for a while. Later I found out that I can’t have plans, because if I’m planning to do something or to go somewhere, in the last moment things are changing and my plans are breaking. When this happened with me again and I didn’t go anywhere for my vacation, I made a decision that from now I will never have plans and I will make my life spontaneous. This is about my future life, but I would like to tell about my short spring break.

It was Ukrainian holiday last Sunday and the place I’m working was very busy, so when I came back home I was super tired, wanted to go to my bed immediately, but some of my friends came to my house and stayed till late at night. I’m nice person and couldn’t tell them that I need to sleep and they have to leave. After they left I went to my bed, it was about 3am, but I couldn’t sleep, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind. When I woke up on Monday at 8am I started to get ready to go to school. I still was sleepy because I slept not more than 4 hours. On the way to the school I remembered that spring break already started and I could sleep as much as I wanted. I was so mad on myself. While I was in Down Town already I decided to go shopping. I want to send a package to my country and that was perfect day to go and spend money for gifts for my family. I came back home late in the evening tired but happy.

Next days of my vacation were pretty boring besides the fact that on Wednesday and Friday I could sleep till afternoon and I could do what ever I wanted. I tried to get rest as much as I could because Easter weekend was coming and I was expecting a lot of customers at the place where I’m working. Somehow I got a chance to go to the church to consecrate Easter bread on Saturday evening. It was beautiful weather, I was in a holiday mood and I went home with happy smile on my face. By my happiness ended very fast. When I came back home, it was already late at night and I wanted to call my parents on the skype and congratulate my parents with Easter, but my computer died it couple of minutes after I turned it on. I didn’t know what’s going on with my comp, I just fixed it and it supposed to work. All my happiness gone and I was very sad because Easter is one of the most important holidays for my family, but I didn’t have a chance to talk with my parents. I went to sleep almost crying.

I woke up early in the morning because I wanted to go to the church and pray to the Gods on Easter holiday and I saw that it was beautiful and sunny morning. After the ceremony finished I felt so good, I wasn’t upset because broken computer, I wasn’t tired anymore and I was happy. The owner of the place where I’m working is like my mom, I call her “my American mother”, invited the closest people for a breakfast to her house. We had a good meal and very nice conversation during Easter breakfast. I had a chance to call my mom from their computer and I saw all my family on the other side of the screen. After I went home and fall asleep for three blissful hours. Later I had some guests in my house and we had great time together. When I went to the bed, I didn’t think about my broken computer nor any kind of problems in my life. I think I had a nice dream because when I woke up today in the morning I was smiling and was happy to go back to school.

My spring break wasn’t that beautiful like other’s students and I couldn’t translate my plans into action, but I’m glad that I had enough sleep and rest during those days. For me it was the best spring break I’ve ever had. I think every person at the class saw me smiling and happy today in the morning. I feel like I have gotten a second wind. I’m already ready for real spring and spend beautiful summer, may be to go somewhere for vacation. But I decided that I will never have plans again, so who knows what is gonna happen with me next five minutes. Lets live and enjoy our life :)
