Spring Has Sprung!

I have been feeling springy! In the good ways and the bad.
Good things about Spring:
  • I (very briefly) felt motivated to do some spring cleaning after reading Finely Ground's blog about doing a little bit of cleaning every day for three weeks.
  • The hubs put up the pool! Even though there are likely a few cold days left, we found this solar cover on Amazon.com last year. We'll let you know how it works!
  • Spring Break came and I took a trip to St. Louis for Kawa Kon and went to see The Hunger Games in full capital costume.
  • There are only 28 work days left until summer vacation!!!!!!!!! (I'm not usually a fan of multiple exclamation marks, but this is my first day back at work from Spring Break, and I felt the occassion warranted multiple exclamations.)

Bad things about Spring:

  • I (very briefly) felt motivated to do some spring cleaning after reading Finely Ground's blog about doing a little bit of cleaning every day for three weeks, and got depressed when I thought about all of the actual cleaning I would have to do before I could even begin the "deep" cleaning.
  • Two words: liquid snot.
  • Spring Break came and went before I could even give it a high five (and, to no one's surpise, I didn't get ANY grading done.)
  • There are only 28 work days left until summer vacation, which means no pay checks for four months.

I drew the following picture on Draw Something to express how I feel:

A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King.

--Emily Dickinson

Godspeed.
