Classic Spring Fever

I know it might be getting a little old to talk about the weather, but that's what is affecting my life right now. I have tons of homework to do and no willpower to do it. I just feel like sitting out in the sun, but I tell myself I need to do work so I stay inside and don't end up getting anything done anyways. What a waste of life. I have all these ideas, but nothing ever comes of them. I think I might get this from my dad. He is a dreamer and comes up with elaborate plans to change his life. Yet he still milks cows every day and hasn't gotten up the nerve to take a risk and try something. Right now I think it would be better for him to take a risk and lose than to stay where he's at because he just keeps digging himself into an ever larger hole. I hope that I will be able to take the risks I need to so that I can accomplish something with my life. I really don't want to waste it because we only get one. This kind on reminds me that I need to do something this summer. I suppose I could just work on the farm, but I should be doing something else. I just don't have the initiative to come up with something. I hope I come up with something soon. If not I'll just spend another year wasting my summer. I guess the choices we make are our lives. I just hope I don't make the wrong ones.

Cardinals

Yesterday I met a few cardinals. They were both males, which is probably the only reason I knew they were cardinals. As Christie and I were waiting for the van to pick us up for church one landed in a tree above us. It was whistling, so I whistled back. We had a nice long conversation, about five minutes long. He completely outdid me with one of his calls. It was like a chortle, which is like impossible to whistle. He finally figured out he wasn't finding a mate very quickly so he moved on. The other cardinal was very brief in his stay. I saw him as I was walking back to my dorm from supper and gave him a few whistles but he didn't answer. I guess he was more popular than the other one or something. He definitely was brighter red. But regardless it was fun to see them whether they wanted to see me or not.

Springtime

Well, today is officially the first day of spring. It is pretty nice outside right now and the sun is shining brightly. The birds are beginning to come back. When I was home my grandmother was commenting about seeing robins, a sure sign that spring is here. Spring also means that school is coming to an end, and I can't wait, but it also means exams. I don't want to worry about them though, so I guess I'll just not think about them. I am working on scheduling my classes for next semester though, and it looks like a real mess. I talked to my advisor today and I might change a few things, but I don't think it will turn out much better. Oh well. I can't wait til Robbie's wedding. I know I was just there, but I really want to go back home. I did start missing a few things available at college when I was home though. I guess eventually I will like college better. I mean even right now I like the no siblings part better.

Spring Break!!!!

Well, I guess you might be aware that spring break is coming up pretty soon. Every PSU student knows the countdown in days if not hours, minutes, and seconds at this point. I personally am looking forward to the week off of school. I'm not doing anything special, just going home to work on the farm. I will probably still need to do some homework, which will take away from the whole point, but at least I will get to milk some cows! I have a couple of tests this week that are putting a bit of a damper on my excitement, but I don't let it get to me too much. I plan on getting a lot of things done at home (most of which probably won't happen). Maybe I will suddenly become more efficient and get everything worked into my schedule :) I guess if I don't get everything worked into this break there is always the summer. There hasn't been that much exciting going on in my life lately, except maybe the popping up of my multiple personalities, but that really isn't important and I don't want to explain right now. Well, I guess I hope I don't go crazy before I get home. Smell ya later, gator.
