Marching On

It's almost March?!?

I know February is a short month and all...but still--the thought of March almost being here excites and surprises me. I'm eager for spring and summer to finally roll around--not because I have any real plans yet, but more because their arrival always helps me to actually make real plans...if that makes sense? Plus, I want to frolic around in the warmth and sun again.


Also, by the end of March I'll be done with studying, and by halfway through April I'll be done with this marathon madness. Both my brain and my knees will benefit from the arrival of summer.

But until then, I'll just keep reading, learning, running, and icing my knees.

And writing.

And eating ice cream.

23?

Ah, yes. The first post from my life as a mature, wise 23 year old. I feel like I should put up some great reflections on my past year of life.

....or not. [Current thoughts instead--]

1. It is a very, very bad plan to run 14miles after a breakfast of cake and a banana.

2. It actually is possible to complete a 14mile run after the previously mentioned breakfast. It's just a bad plan and your body will hate you for it.

3. I don't do laundry often enough to know if my jeans are tight because of massively larger muscles or just because they're not stretched out from weeks of wear.

4. I've been in a country music funk for a very, very long time now.

5. Teaching myself to be content in all circumstances is a beastly task. St.Paul has my admiration more than ever.

6. I miss having easy access to a stellar camera.

7. Tax forms for the self-employed are terribly confusing.

8. The thought of getting to see a whole posse of stellar people in about two months is supa exciting.

9. I miss dancing.

10. All those cheap RoseArt crayons that I hated in elementary school have finally found their purpose in life.
