Spring Break

Saturday:
Finally got to sleep in a bed bigger than a twin, for a guy my size it really kills me. It was really nice out and I knew that the weather was not going to hold all week so I made sure that I got outside as much as I could. I played 9 holes at Mariana Butte, my favorite course in Colorado, and really enjoyed myself. That night my dad and I went to DU's final hockey game of the regular season and it was against Colorado College, their rivals. It was a good game to watch but ended up tying 1 to 1.

Sunday:
Went to church in the morning where I felt like a rock star because everybody wants to talk to me. It’s always nice to see familiar faces at church, makes you feel like you really are home. After church my sister, my mom, and I went out to Chili’s for lunch where we ran into Aaron Watkins who is a waiter there. Later that day my dad and I went to the driving range to hit some balls and enjoy the nice weather, I have never hit the golf ball better than I have this week. Went to church that night and afterwards my mom and I went back to her house and watched Simon Burch, which didn’t make me cry sadly enough (pun intended).

Monday:
Monday was not a good day; I put a hole in the wall of my sister’s new room which really pissed off my dad. This incident here really set the tone for the rest of the week with my dad, awkward and “walking on eggshells”. So I spent the majority of my day fixing this whole in the wall and did not get to play golf which really bummed me out. Connor came over later that afternoon to play some Halo and catch up on things and then later the whole Krajec family gathered at my mom’s house for some dinner (fish) and dessert (oatmeal cookies).

Tuesday:
In the morning I had to go to my dad’s house to work on the hole in the wall, talk about walking on eggshells that morning. Sadly it snowed that morning so golf and doing anything outside was done for, only in Colorado can it be 50 degrees out and snow the next. Connor and I made more little boys cry on Xbox Live via Halo beatings and caught up even more on school and life. It was another relaxing evening at my mom’s house and I got to catch up on all of my reading that I have been slacking on.

Wednesday:
Still working on that hole in the wall in the morning and the snow was melting slowly but surely. Didn’t really do anything during the day until it was time to go to Anna’s winter sports banquet where my mom drove us there in her new Saab that she purchased that day. Afterwards we drove to church where we dropped my sister off and then went off to a nice little ride in the turbo car. Spent that night at my dad’s house and watched V for Vendetta, great movie.

Thursday:
Went and played golf by myself and then with my dad at the Olde Course, played decently well but not quite where I wanted to be. Connor and I headed to UNC to meet up with Zach and Chris for the evening, this made my week awful. It was really nice to see Zach and Chris but it was brought to my attention that Kelsey had a boyfriend; it hurts to even write that. You know I’m happy for her, I want her to move on, and the last thing I want is here to sit in her room for months crying over me, I don’t want her to be sad or unhappy, I want her to be happy…we have to move on. I want all of this but it still sucks to hear that news, especially since it’s only been a month and a week since we last talked, but hey you can’t get worked up about something that you cannot control right? Since I was with friends I didn’t really get to think about it that much.

Friday:
My dad wakes me while I’m having a great dream about having no worries, right away I realize what I heard last night, it overwhelmed me to the point where I became very quiet and slightly depressed. My dad and I went to Johnson’s Corner for breakfast where I didn’t eat a thing and didn’t really say a word to my dad. I struggled all day with the news; I struggled a lot, too many thoughts running through my head. I had a letter for Kelsey’s parents that I wrote for them early this week saying thank you and explaining the whole situation with Kelsey and I from my standpoint. I feel like they deserved to know what was going on since it was their girl whose heart was just broken. I delivered to her house, thankfully no one was home at the time. Hopefully that came across the right way for them. I headed out to Walker to make sure that I have a job for next summer, which I do, and had lunch with Jesse at his house. I went to the Olde Course and played some FANTASTIC golf all by myself, that round of golf made my whole week because I got to spend some quality time alone. My dad and I went to the DU hockey game that night; they were facing Alaska in the best of three series. This was probably the best DU game I have seen so far, it was a comeback win for the Pioneers after being down two and they edged out the win 3-2.

Saturday:
I finished the hole in the wall just in time for my sister to start painting the dull white walls a nice shade of orange. I slowly but surely got out of the house with my dad to play some golf, he was not in a good mood when we started playing so it was a little awkward for me to be playing with him. I played some great golf this round too because I was working the ball and hitting good shots all over the course. Zach and I played some Halo at my house that night and then a bunch of us hung out; it was a good way to end my spring break.

So overall this break was so-so, I really struggled with my dad and the news about Kelsey having a boyfriend. If I had to rate this break it probably be around a 6.5 out of 10, golf was really the only reason why it’s so high, not to mention having lunch with some great people.
In memory of the "awesome winter of 2008-2009"
