Spring.

Today it hit about 90 degrees, and it was absolutely wonderful.

After volunteering at an Easter Egg Hunt this morning and apartment-hunting this afternoon, I went and got frozen yogurt and then laid outside and did nothing/took a nap for about two hours. I brought a book with the intention of being productive, but ehh.

This is the part of the semester when productivity becomes near impossible because all you want to go do is sit outside. Nebraska is kind of known for having crappy weather, but it has its fair share of absolutely gorgeous days. I spose I should also mention that it's incredibly humid and we're in a tornado watch until 1 am, but I'll take what I can get. It's nice and warm outside.

This is also the part of the semester when everybody and their mother are trying to find apartments. It's a bit crazy. My future roomies and I don't have a place picked out yet, but we are on a waiting list and have a few more places to look at. I won't be homeless! (That's always good...)

This is also the part of the semester when everyone starts hating college. Ok I love college, but I am SO ready for summer. 3 weeks left! EEK!

Hello again.

It's been awhile hasn't it?

I'm sorry, I'm still recovering from Spring Break. I'm mentally not at school right now and I'm physically ill, as in sick.

This is literally the worst part of the school year because I don't know about everyone else, but I've definitely checked out for the year and have zero motivation to do anything productive. This is unfortunate because I've got like 4 projects due this month, plus finals in a few weeks. I just want to coast the rest of the year. This feeling will be much worse once it actually gets warm out.

I suppose it's ok that it's not warm out because right now, I just want to sleep. I managed to come down with this cough/cold/sore throat/fever/weird combination of things the last couple days of break and now I feel like death. That may be a bit of an exaggeration. Anyway, now I'm losing my voice because I can't stop coughing so after class I went to Walgreens and spent a good chunk of money on orange juice, cough drops, and Nyquil. Nothing like drugs and Vitamin C to make you feel better right?

You know it's spring when...

It is absolutely impossible to do homework or anything productive when it's warm outside. Seriously. Why the heck would anyone want to stay cooped up in a dorm room when it's 70 degrees and sunny? There really is no good reason.

We've tried to beat the system by taking homework outside and attempting to do it, but that doesn't really work either. Once you're outside, there is literally zero motivation to do anything productive, and there are so many better things to do. Like sit there and do nothing. It's great.

The only downside to this is that teachers still assign homework in the spring, and especially with finals coming up in a couple weeks, there is a crap ton to get done. So this means that since nothing gets done during the day, everything has to get done sometime at night before class starts in the morning. This is procrastination at it's finest.

Welcome to the season of sand volleyball and late nights. It's absolutely amazing.
