The break we all needed and longed for is officially over and I am so sad about it.
For spring break, three friends and I went to Montréal. None of us had been before and we all had nothing to do. This plan was made in my friends room while the two of us were procrastinating studying for finals last semester. We spoke about so many random things and went on to the topic of how we should take a holiday together and travel to somewhere we haven't been. We weren't entirely joking so we thought we'd be realistic and choose a place we can actually go to, Montréal. Then we spoke to some people about it and decided that we'd ask our parents over break. It narrowed down to the four of us as some others had prior commitments.
I then started planning the trip, made a very extensive itinerary, applied for my visa (I was the only one that needed one), and made sure our random plan actually happened. My visa came only three days before leaving, which was very stressful. But, ultimately, it happened and we actually went.
As soon as we reached, we were, more than anything, surprised that it all went as planned.
It was one week of exploring a new city, one week of above average (truly amazing) food, one week of enjoying with friends.
But more importantly, it was one week of sleeping in a nice bed, one week of not opening Blackboard, and one week of being able to legally buy alcohol.
But then we got back on Saturday evening, went to StEast for dinner with our large suitcases, did laundry, and lost an hour.
Which brings me to my next topic, I do not like DST. Well the first one was fine because we gained an hour and that was really cool, but this one really messed us up. I was about to sleep a little after 1:59 AM on Saturday night, which should have been about 2 AM, but it was 3 AM. And then I went ahead to get out of bed the next day at 3 PM, which would have been 2 PM. Which also meant that my 10:30 AM class today was at 9:30 AM, but I am still proud of myself for showing up.
On that note, I hope everyone had an excellent spring break.
Poll: Would it be acceptable to show up to classes an hour late with the excuse that you do not believe in DST? Just curious. Asking for a friend.
Love,
Kash
