not much can get this girl out of bed on a day when she can sleep in. since i have a fabulous senior schedule, i don't have class tuesday or thursday so i usually don't have anything to do those mornings. but today i woke up at 8 (yes that is EARLY... crack of dawn if you ask me) and went outside. i went to elmwood with my roommate to get some starbucks then we sat out on our front lawn for a few hours (while she skipped class...) this is the best and worst time of year for a student of any age. schools almost over, summers almost here... but you still have a month of class to sit through, sorry 'bout that. we justify skipping class at least once a week. "i wouldn't learn anything because i'd just be watching out the window wishing i was outside anyway..."

work is getting to be hard too with the nice weather. part of the program is that the kids have to do homework every day. those kids who take 3 hours to get their homework done? sorry kid, that's not gonna fly with me today because i want to go outside on the playground just as much as you. i realized that i was actually giving answers out yesterday just so they would finish faster. hey, at least we got to go outside sooner! besides, they need the help with their grades anyway....

i think spring is my favorite time of year. it's not too hot, not too cold. everyone has been cooped up for months in freezing buffalo weather. 50 degrees seems balmy once it finally arrives. i looove this campus when it gets warm. it's like spring is an automatic reason to have parties at 2 in the afternoon on your front lawn. the quad is full of everyone "doing homework" or playing frisbee. it's painful to go to class but most teachers don't want to be there just as much as us and let us out early a lot. i've gone to the playground two times in the past week and i've taken many walks in the park. i ate dinner outside last night at esther and john's house. it makes me sooo excited for one more summer of NOTHING! too bad no one will be on maternity leave this summer.
