SPRING BREAK
Spring Break was spent chasing a winter storm... seriously I think something happened to the weather but the day before we left Minneapolis the sun was shining high in the sky, but the next day, the day we were due to leave, it started raining + snowing and we had to contend with strong winds rocking our car on the highway. That was scary and I'm glad we lived to tell the tale. While we thought we had escaped the snow storm in Minnesota, we were wrong. Apparently it was going to follow us to Chicago (or rather we were following it) and just when we were banking on catching a glimpse of the Northern lights in Duluth since there was supposed to be solar showers, our luck ran out (again) and there was solar activity on the days before and after we were there, just not on the nights we were in town. Oh well. LE SIGH. Nonetheless, I had loads of fun, took loads of pictures and ta da here are some snippets.
Minneapolis - Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota took 8.5 hours by car
Theere were pretty sights along the way though I must say that the sight of the 4 presidents is quite... underwhelming at first. Expectation - Reality gap.

We spent 2 nights in S. Dakota before driving another 8 hours back to Minnesota to spend the night at Rochester. Then we drove another 6.5 hours to Chicago. That's a lot of driving. and a lot of gas.

We bade Chicago farewell after 3 long days in the city (we are not city people) and then started on the 7 hour drive up to Duluth, Minnesota to see Lake Superior. Mother Nature is spectacular. I loved the sight of the vast expanse of frozen ice reflecting the sky. Wish I could go back :( but am thankful nonetheless for the experience to even be able to see it.
Spring break has been a nice change in pace from the schoolwork, and well I've started to grow fond of the people here. Somehow the dynamics have changed somewhat, after spending a week together and what a friend reminded me of is true too; don't think so much, just spend your time here well and enjoy every bit of it.
Life has taught me a lot about love. It taught me that if you love someone, you will be willing to let him go because love doesn't have to culminate in a relationship. If it does, that's nice; but if it doesn't, it won't change the fact that emotions were/are involved and all you want is for him to be happy.
“some people feel like they don't deserve love. they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
