Spring has sprung
It's been a while, so I thought I check in. Today was one of the best days I had in a long time. I awoke to sunlight and the crisp scent of a spring morning. I worked out, then went to Saturday market with Ivy, Julia, Kristen and Becca, and had the most glorious time. The produce was vibrant and beckoning, the vendors jubilant and excited. Delicious aromas of crepes, burritos, stir-fries and fruit wafted through the air. And as I sat there in the park, surrounded by my friends, surrounded by sun, surrounded by complete freedom, I felt so happy. I felt so at eaze, so perfectly placed in exactly where I should be. Spring term is always so different- everyone anxious for summer, the first sunny day, the end of classes. But for me, spring term means much more this year. Prepping for Mexico, giving myself the license to relax a little in my classes, and pushing myself physically to see how far I can take my body add an interesting component to the usual mix. More than anything, unlike years past where I know the exact outcome of spring, of going home and working for 3 months, I have no idea this year what is going to happen. So many things are unfamiliar, could go so many ways. So many aspects are, literally, foreign. I feel so excited and optimistic, but also a little uneasy. I want this term to be different. I guess I must just keep myself grounded, take long breaths of the sweet spring air, and let what will be, be.
