I have this problem

where i forget to keep blogging all the time. For this i apologize whole- heartedly to anyone out there in the blogiverse who is actually taking time out of their busy and fulfilled life to come to this page only to be met by the disappointment of no new posts. This one's for you guys (ie, no one).
Basically i have spent the last few months following a really simple schedule:
Wake up about 20 minutes later than i was supposed to
dress quickly, paying little attention to what i am wearing
go to class, immediately check out and think about more interesting things (my ever-present concern about the final destruction of the universe is a big one) so as to remain awake.
come back from class, read and/or sleep
watch movies
repeat with occasional breaks for horrible dining hall food and walking around outside when the weather's nice.
which it is and has been for the last week or so.
There is something so cathartic about the transition from winter to spring. All of a sudden you can take off your shoes outside and instead of "ow i have frostbite" you're greeted with the sensation of grass between your toes. For me, life simply does not get better than this. It's a time to rediscover all the things i like the most. Tiny adventures you could miss any other day you just happen to stumble across. I like the idea of everything becoming new again; as someone who tires easily of routine it's easy to become jaded with the same things you see every day, and to forget how amazing most things really are. With that said, i hope spring is bringing new things into everyone's life, and with it a renewed sense of those things that are always important, those small moments we often overlook.
Hug Trees,
jesaka
