Spring break: past and future

For Cabrini students, all that's left of the infamous college spring break tradition is photo filled albums and a hint of the lackadaisical atti(;Udethat is still lingering. For some, it was a time to get away from it all. For others, it was time to catch up on some much needed rest.

Katelyn Penrose, a sophomore elementary education major, spent her spring break training for the 2006 spring lacrosse season in the Florida sun with the rest of the Lady Cavaliers. The team traveled to St. Petersburg, Fl. for preseason and for some team bonding.

"The weath~r was gorgeous, mostly in the 70s. In between sessions, we had time to lie on the beach and relax," Penrose said. Aside from their training sessions, the team got to take a ride on a couple of wave runners and hit up a club one night. "It was the best," Penrose said, "I can't wait to go back next year." Penrose's sun-kissed and freckled skin was just another affirmation of the beautiful Florida weather.

For sophomore human resource and management major Julian Cruz, it was time to get away from the cold Pennsylvania weather. Cruz is lucky enough to call sunny Guaynabo, Puerto Rico home. Not only was he able to go home to see family and friends but have a mini vacation on the way.

Cruz said that the weather was in the mid 80s all break and he can't wait to return home this summer. Since the flight is over three hours long and can be pretty costly, Cruz doesn't get to venture home as often as other Cabrini students might. "Not being able to go home doesn't affect me that much because every time I go home, I just try to enjoy my time there," Cruz said.
