Post Spring Break Meeting / Catch Up

So, these meetings with the beloved convo partner had started to become routine, and I had completely run out of ideas to converse about. We had already discussed life, humor, food, and movies. What else is there? Thankfully, spring break happened, which opened the door for plenty of new topics. However, this blogging thing has become sort of mundane, so in an effort to spice things up, I'm going to compose a few haikus to juxtapose our different experiences during our week off of school and class.
What I Did For Spring Break This Year:

Thiago
Music, South, and West
Combined in Austin, Texas
Kept it weird. Success

Sarah
Spring, Break, Sun, Sand, Beach,  
Texas in Alabama
Wait, why is it cold?

So, if you couldn't tell based on my syllable manipulation, Thiago went to Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest music festival, and enjoyed Austin's "weirdness." 
I, on the other hand, drove on down to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and was greeted by cool breezes and a lack of sun. However, we both had fun experiences, though very different of each other. While I spent my whole break rocking out to throwback music from my childhood, (I'm talking 11 hours in the car with Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jesse McCartney, Jojo, and more) Thiago received a firsthand look at the newest and most up and coming-est bands out there. 
Apparently I shouldn't have left Texas for better weather, it was definitely hotter here than it was in Alabama, which, when all you packed was tanks and flip flops, came as a bit of a shock. But, I pulled through, and returned to campus with absolutely no sunburn, so I will chalk that up as a win for me and my skin.
After exhausting our spring break talk, Thiago and I briefly chatted about summer plans, and the rest of our lives (and by that I mean next year.) Thiago wants to stay in school and pursue his degree, but he is not sure if TCU is going to work out for him. There are a lot of minute details that seem to be keeping him from knowing for sure where he will be next year. Hopefully here, he said, but maybe TCC or somewhere else. When I asked him if he liked it here, he couldn't help but smile. We share the same viewpoint on how impossible it is not to fall in love with the campus here. It's truly gorgeous, and not something you find every day. 
To sum it all up, I figured, why not one more haiku?

TCU
Purple and gold brick;
Fountains, Tulips, and bronze frogs,
The Real Paradise

Until next time,

Sarah
