Holidays on campus are a guaranteed ghost-town. Those who live close to the Path spend the day with their families, and a lot of long distance residents head home for the holiday weekend (except the extreme out of staters). As for me, I live on the southeast coast of Massachusetts in small-town Whitman. My family is closely knit and I’ve always been a homebody so it’s difficult to be apart, especially on traditionally family occasions. Normally I would use public transportation in the form of a Peter Pan bus, but with much homework to accomplish for the coming week and trying to work out summer job interviews, remaining on campus was a mutual decision. In which case, I took advantage of the quiet campus!
Easter morning I woke up to see the Easter Bunny had visited my dorm! Well, my roommate and I swapped Easter goodies. Sour Patch jellybeans, Snickers, Reese’s eggs, Lindt chocolate carrots & pink Peeps… mhm mhm GOOD!
We started the day attending Easter mass across the street at St. Mary’s Parish. The church was full of happy people and adorable little kids in their holiday outfits. Afterwards, we grabbed our rackets and went down to the tennis courts. Surprisingly, there were a good number of people with the same idea playing on Easter, though mostly families practicing with their kids. I definitely worked up a sweat in the heat! And my swing has even improved a little bit!
The day wouldn’t be a complete without dyeing some Easter eggs now would it? Carefully setting up the colors on paper towels all over our floor we experimented on the white eggs. I’m used to the dye where you dunk the egg into a cup and wait for it to color, but this time I tried out dyeing rollers which were a little less messy. Here are the final creations:
