So if the world attacks,
And you slide off track,
Remember one fact-
I got your back.

Family is the perfect remedy to all the killer stress of my Spring Quarter.

For those who may not know, Ohio State University hosts a Sibs Weekend every year. It's basically an opportunity for your brothers and/or sisters (usually younger, but my whole family made it out) to come hang out at OSU for the weekend. The above link shows all the nifty activities once can do.

A small sampling of some things me and my family did:
-Luau at Lincoln House (my dorm)
-Renaissance Festival on the South Oval
-Laugh Olympics (water balloon toss, free doughnuts, and endless whipped-cream pie-in-face)
-Columbus Zoo visits Taylor Tower (there was a cheetah! Awesome!)
-Copious amounts of eating out
-General tomfoolery and Apples to Apples and getting caught up on life

It was great to see the sisters, brother-in-law, and parents, though mom and dad could only stay for a bit before zooming back to Dayton. And I must confess, I did have to abandon the family at times for prior commitments going on (my life is pretty hectic, even on the weekends). Still, I was glad that they could come, and methinks they had a pretty good time too.

It didn't seem like too many of my friends took advantage of Sibs Weekend 2009, but I definitely encourage it. It's oodles of fun, there are lots of cool once-in-a-blue-moon activities (when's the next time a cheetah will be walking around Taylor?!), and above all else family time is the perfect happy break from all the killer studying and activity-ing that normally dominates Spring Quarter.

Me and the sisters

Take care,
