spring forward

It's spring now. It tried to be once before - last week I think it was - but Spring was just a petty little weakling then and Winter kicked its butt after one little 60-degree day.

Howsomever (as my grandmother would say)!

Spring is back with a vengeance. I even took my jacket off (!) when I was walking around at lunchtime and luxuriated in my jeans and long sleeves. I have been living vicariously through all of my Midwest friends for long enough. It's time for me to strip off the jacket and greet the newly-buff Spring.

I shall never live through a winter in Germany again. This is my most solemn vow.

Four months from now, I will be HOME. House, roommates, friends, job offer (I hope)... life will be good. I was looking at the community college catalogue, and I sure can learn a lot of stuff next year. I am going to have to make some decisions here: ASL? Auto maintenance? French? Tae Kwon Do? Astronomy? Entrepreneurship? Ballroom dancing?

This is gonna be fun.

Yay for spring! Although, I say that after an absolutely scrumtrilescent day yesterday (70s and sunny!), and the rest of the weekend is supposed to be cooler (mid 60s) but still sunny. Oh well, it's not summer yet!!
