Actual spring is starting to peak in through the corner, and after St. Patrick’s weekend, it looks like it’ll be here for good. At least, I hope so. I’m slowly starting to put away my winter wear for some of my spring fashion. It would be just my luck to get all dolled up for my graduation photo, wearing one of my prettier pinafores, only for it to start snowing. As is typical of NYC weather.
On a more academic note, we’ve survived about half of the semester, either through sheer willpower or by luck alone. For once, I’d place myself with the lucky ones, as I was granted by the midterm gods a midterm-free semester. But as much as I want everything to be solved by a four-leaf clover, the dawn of better weather also brings about spring cleaning, and whether it’s donating and cleaning through old clothes (for bookworms like myself, our many books!) or cleaning up our acts (New Year’s Resolution? More like spring cleaning commitment!), we all have to work our way through some kind of mess.
We’ll get through this! I believe in all of us. We’ll succeed in our spring cleaning commitments with cleaner rooms (something I will one day attain) and clearer heads.
Now, time for some announcements.
