Springtime

Up until this week, I had always thought that springtime meant sunshine and flowers and temperatures of at least 50 degrees (more like 70 if you're in the Williamsburg area).  Clearly, I had not experienced spring's full range of emotions.  Instead of all of those wonderfully warm things, my spring break has been marked by snowfall and chilly temperatures.  And people say that we should be concerned about global warming!

It's hard to believe that the spring semester is half over (sorry for my lack of posts recently)!  The past two months have absolutely flown by, as spring semesters tend to do.  I always feel like the second half of the school year goes by so much faster than the first!  That's probably all in my head, but nevertheless, my theory is holding true.  One of the wonderful things about going to a seminary is that we get additional days off for the Easter holidays.  And conveniently, Easter falls right after our spring break this year!  So next week consists of work and classes Monday-Wednesday, and then I have Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, AND Easter Monday off!  Isn't that crazy?  It's like having two weeks of spring break!

I have really enjoyed being home for the past week.  Although I've been working a crazy number of hours, it has been great just to come back to my home base and rest my mind for awhile.  A day and half more and then it's back to St. Louis for me.  I can't believe this break has gone by so fast!  Before I know it, it's gonna be April (and my birthday!)...where has the semester gone?!
