MSPP times its vacations to match the public schools in the area, which means we get a week off in February and in April. The April break is always a little weird, though- we only have one more week of classes when we get back! Thus, at least for me, the break becomes more of a 'reading week' where I'm scurrying to get lots of my final projects done.

This week, however, I'm on a LONG road trip helping my partner make a major move... my body is aching from packing a UHaul and my hamstrings, I swear, are atrophying from so much time sitting in a car!!!

First lesson learned: you may think you can get a lot of work done while sitting in a car for 12 hours a day, but such is not the case. It's similar with airplanes- it's almost impossible to be productive and you just have to kiss the time goodbye.

Second lesson learned: Montana is BEAUTIFUL! I'd never have gone there on purpose but I'm so glad I got to drive through it once in my life.
