Spring

A year ago I was headed out of a winter wonderland to bask in the sun with the boy I loved. This year I am considering driving myself nine hours to New York in order to catalyze some sort of life change. Spring signifies the beginning of something new. Growing up, this time of year started the six months of scramble and long garden days in my family. Food of choice would begin to include gallons of ice cream and PBRs in addition to still warm vegetables.

Virginia Spring is always a roller coaster. Or rather, what I would imagine a roller coaster to be like if I were ever to go on one. Yesterday was a balmy 55 degrees with sun while today looks like another January.

Post Spring Shower

I wrote that two months ago but Virginia spring time is still in full swing. We've had monsoon style rains, multiple severe weather warnings and a tree fell on my car. The grass in the front hard is waist high, and classes start again on Tuesday.

All in all, I realise I'm lucky and trying to recognise the positive things happening right now:

- buy one get one free goat brie at Whole Foods

- chocolate almond butter exists. Who knew?!

- I can finish my Bachelor and then go get that Master's... some where.

- My haus mate kicks ass. 24 hour staycations are the best.

- My three parents love me, even though they have the oddest ways of showing it.

- My sister. Geez. She's amazing. I don't love any one in the world more than that girl.

- My grandma sent me an email to tell me I look like a movie star.

- I get to spend the summer with two and three year olds (my favorite age group).

- I get to spend more time in the gross anatomy lab!

- I don't get to be at camp, but I'm only three hours away. Square dance crashing shall commence.

- I finally stopped ignoring Dorothy and it feels damn good.

- My same brain friend might let me in again.

She rocks my world but carrot sticks rock hers more.
