What a Wonderful Break (Spring Break!!!)

Dear Readers,

I am happy to chat with you all again. I do not know if you all know this but we are just now returning to school from spring break. I actually started my break a little earlier than most people and left last Wednesday. I decided to go with a buddy of mine out to Wisconsin for a big job fair in Oshkosh. The sweet thing about this was that my professors were very understanding about me having to leave early and they allowed me to either finish and turn in homework or take test early or via email. That really helped out a lot or else I might have had a boat load of homework when I got back.

On our way up to Oshkosh we stopped in Milwaukee to visit a good friend of ours who lives up there now. He took us all around town and showed us a good time which was a nice little break from the road trip. After that we finished the drive into Oshkosh on Thursday morning and everything was history from there. I will say though that the conference/ job fair was a great networking and learning experience and I never really knew just how many people knew about Coe College and the people they have met from here.

The conference ended that Sunday which still left me with a full week of activities. We decided to drive back to good ole Iowa Sunday but first we stopped and had lunch and did some shopping with our old Student Activities coordinator who now lives in Wisconsin. It was great to do some catching up before hitting the road back to Coe for the week.

Once we returned we found Coe pretty empty. It wasn't until Monday morning I found out there were still a few people around to hangout with for the week which was nice. I also decided to work in academic computing the entire week so that I could pay for my little early spring break vacation. I really enjoy working with the people in that department, you never really know what to expect from some of the guys haha.

Besides that I just did a lot of gaming/ hanging out with friends, going out to eat and to the movies and etc. That being said I highly recommend going to see the movie project x it was a pretty good one.

Although I had a lot of fun somehow Sunday crept up on me faster then expected. I had to get a lot of laundry done and catch up on some homework last night before classes started back today. I am happy to say that I am all caught up and am looking forward to my first day of golf practice.

Thank you for your time,
Charles E. Cotton III
