oh so wrong, you're growing old
Nostalgia is fun! Most of the time. I suppose that's something that happens with many people around the time the seasons change. When I stepped outside after class today I literally danced because I was so pleasantly surprised by the bright warm goodness.
My "spring" break was actually pretty enjoyable. Looking back it seems to me I did more in that week than I did over the course of my winter break, excluding family activities/travels. To my delight, I got to hang out a lot with Ashley and Krysta. Ashley broke up with her boyfriend and then got back together with him yesterday (yay, I hope). Anyway, I also got to spend a fun filled day with my new friend Jeff (<3), go to the flower show (yikes) with my Grandmom, drive frequently, and hang out with my dad. Being home just reminded how much I really do love Medford. Most of the people I graduated with have their issues with it (it's boring? kids are snobbish or stoners?) but to me it's... quaint. I also know where stuff is. Haha!
What else is new and exciting (as my Grandpop would say)? I've been a bit up and down in my moods, but I'm not sure if that's new or exciting in the least. It may have been the load of work I had hanging over my head, the weather, doubts about the future, or a bunch of other stuff. I was completely dreading today (Fridays are usually busy) but it turned out to be a pretty awesome day. I love that. The best part is that I actively tried to make my day awesome, and succeeded. Although I didn't have morning classes I got up early to go into school and work, and I finished everything I needed to and completely aced several presentations/projects. My most hated class was actually kind of fun today! Then when I got home I went to the supermarket to buy flowers and fruit. Tomorrow should be a good day too. I'm going to China Town with Jeff. Then it's two classes Monday, one class Tuesday, and off until the following Monday! Pretty sweet deal huh?
So in closing, back to nostalgia. One of my favorite months, April, is fast approaching and I know that springy earthy smell will fill my house. My dad and I will make a cake in memory of my mom for her birthday. Instead of thinking about colleges and prom like last year, I'll be thinking about internships, summer jobs, and getting a car. And I'll continue my tradition of taking an April self portrait. :)
That's probably one of the most positive journal entries on this journal yet. Good ol' endorphins. I wonder if it's because I just came back from the gym? Watch my next entry be emo.
