one day at a time

I would like to think that you guys are still reading my posts. Even though you're not commenting. But I can't really say anything cause I never comment anyone elses. But I really have nothing exciting to say. I'm basically counting down the days until spring break. I have a bad case of spring fever and I'm trying not to let it affect my work, but after a certain point, theres really nothing much I can do.

I presented my french project today. It went really well. Most people's took about 5 minutes...ours took about 35. But Merritt loved it. and I love Shane. Because his video was amazing. and I wish he would put it on YouTube. But anyway, we now started on our research project for english. I need an "influential" person to research (could the subject be less specific?) does anyone have any ideas? please tell me if you do

I am really looking forward to not going to school Thursday. Even though Thursday night will consist of me studying for the 3 tests I have on Friday....exciting.

I spent about 20 minutes laying outside in the sun earlier, and its amazing what a little Vitamin D does for the soul. It was so peaceful. Only me, my thoughts, and a gorgeous little bird. and some cats =) Then I watched the papal visit, which was pretty amazing. They were broadcasting live from the military airport.

So now I have some global homework, I have to practice for NYSSMA, take a shower, think of a birthday present for Courtney, and watch american idol. and throw some dinner in there somewhere.

p.s. cool side note: the title of this blog was from a song i was listening to, but it worked out to fit the content of the post.

I'm all out of titles. I'm also all out of insight, so don't expect any from me. Instead, I will try to recount my recent activities as best as I can. I went out to eat and then to Cinderella last night wth Becky, Elly and Cheyenne. We had a goooood time. The show was pretty good! The energy was low, and I couldn't help but compare everything to DiLeo's way of doing it, now that I have the experience. But I enjoyed it. There were defenitely people who stole the show.... =)

This morning, I woke up to the most gorgeous day since last spring. I just had to check the temperature....and it was 75 degrees!!! It actually got too hot to stay outside for a long time. I loved it. There are flowers in front of my house that are completely in bloom. Gorgeous, full, sweet-smelling blooms. I mainly worked on my french project all day, of course taking breaks to revel in the weather. For the rest of the night I will be reading, eating dinner and watching Sweeney Todd. Oh, and trying to contain my excitement for Florida =)))

"Some weather we're having..."

Though is is often used as an obvious conversation starter when grappling with what to say, in this case, I feel it perfectly acceptable to speak about the weather. In the "heat" of the day, it must have gotten up to about 70, because it's now about 65. As we all observed, it was rainy and muggy for the good part of the day. But as of a little while ago, all the moisture has burned off, leaving a beautiful setting sun, interfaced with a sporadically placed breeze. I'm fortunate to be able to experience this beauty from my own backyard, and of course I took the opportunity. Just to stand out there for a few minutes, I felt so at peace with the beauty of the natural world. I hope you all appreciated the gorgeous weather this evening.....APRIL FOOLS. But not really.
