Still Winter...

I guess I was wrong a few weeks ago when I thought a little warm weather meant that spring was coming. It snowed again last night, and we got at least 6 inches last weekend. Some friends and I had fun playing football in the snow, and then participated in the tradition of going sledding on lunch trays from the cafeteria. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time!! I can’t believe it’s still so cold and snowy. Usually by now the weather is consistently warmer and we’ll have a few days that are nice enough to study outside on the diag, in the arboretum or on the field behind my dorm.

Last weekend was also Easter. In college, I have never gotten to spend the holiday with my family. We don’t get any days off class so there wasn’t enough time to go visit. I got to do some of the usual Easter traditions anyways; I attended Good Friday and Easter Sunday church services and dyed eggs with friends. I haven’t dyed eggs since I was a kid, it was so much fun!! I liked making maize and blue ones.

It seems like I’ve hit the quiet spot before finals set in. There are only 2.5 weeks of class left, but I have almost a week between the end of classes and my first final so there will be lots of time to study. I’ve had a little extra time lately to read some books for fun, hang out with friends, and just do the regular work at a relaxed pace. This weekend I’m looking forward to attending a Women’s Conference at my church.
