Spring Break

That's right people. My three weeks of relaxing has started! Well, alright, to be honest I'm going to put in 4 hours a day during the week on school work and 2 hours on weekends. But I can do those 4 hours whenever I choose to. Which means that I can wake up whenever I choose to. Lovely feeling really.

Also, my mother is coming for a visit. It should be fun even though I have absolutely no idea what to do with her. Here's a little secret; Aberdeen is not the most exciting of places. I'm sure I'll figure out something before she gets here. Here's hoping the weather stays nice. It looked not so pleasant today, but it's be so nice up until now. Hopefully by the time Mother gets here the sun will return because the few places I know I should take her to are the beach, the park, and the gardens. You might note that they are all outdoor activities.

My other plan for this break is to post all of the back log of posts! I have started a post for every Psychology lecture I went to. Just never got around to finishing all of them. I shall hopefully get one up on Monday. As for the rest of today and tomorrow, I am fully taking a break.

Springyness

Aberdeen had a slightly Spring-ish feel to it today. It was partly cloudy and the sun was shining and everything was more green that usual.

I guess that's what happens around this time of year. I just wasn't really expecting it to happen so soon. I like Aberdeen in the spring. Everything feels better and less...gloomy. Aberdeen is just really, really grey. But in the spring, sometimes, even the grey looks kinda green.

Now if only it would get warmer...

Daffodils

For those of you who know me, you know I absolutely LOVE flowers. These lovely things are popping up everywhere here in Aberdeen. I wouldn't have guessed that Daffodils would like a place like Aberdeen, but they apparently do. Everywhere I go I see these yellow and white flowers. It makes me smile...a lot. All a guy has to do to make me happy is bring me flowers for no particular reason.

Spring Break Plans

Alright guys. It's all been decided. Well, not all of it, but a lot of it. I know basically that I shall be staying here for the first two weeks of my spring break then I shall be going home on the 6th until the 14th. Hooray! I'll get to see my Arwen again! (For those of you who don't know, Arwen is my 80lbs. Golden Retriever and my best friend forever and ever) Here's a picture representation of two things I'm going to do this break.

First, I'm going to become better acquainted with this.

This is my bed. Yep, I'm thinking that maybe I'll sleep for two weeks straight. OK, maybe not the entire two weeks. But it'll be nice to go to sleep at 4am and not have to worry about getting up in the morning.

Secondly, I plan on reading a whole lot.

Lolita and Lady Chatterley's Lover are for my Controversial Classics course. We are now on to our "Sex and Society" bit of the course. Lady Chatterley's Lover is all about sex and people having sex. Well, really it's about making fun of class distinctions, but it gets more people's attention when you say it's all about sex. It was banned in the early 1900's though, so you can image how racy this stuff actually is (i.e. not very). Lolita is one that I have not started reading yet, but I've had the lectures about it (the lecturer was very boring though so I really didn't pay any attention). It seems like it'll be an interesting book though it's about pedophilia. Hey, when the said controversial they meant controversial. Now, you see the George R.R. Martin book? This is the second part of the third book of the series Ice and Fire. I'm in love with them and fully plan on finishing this one and the fourth by the time the HBO series premiers and Jamie has his "Game of Thrones" night after the holiday. And there are two books on Kindall my Kindle that I want to read. I'm also going to be reading Smellorama so I can hopefully give Arwen a little confidence by teaching her how to find lost items.

Besides reading and sleeping, the first two weeks of holiday will include researching for my essay due in Week 9 for English and house hunting so that I have a place to put my stuff this summer and a place to live for the next three years. I'll also be hanging out with Marlene and Lisa and doing this new drawing project I have titled "Project Mufasa". I'm just drawing a lot of lions because I think lions are cool. Movie watching will happen as well I believe. And I'll hopefully play a lot of board games...well, if I can borrow some. I'm resisting the urge to buy a few different card and board games right now.

After that I'm going home for a week and spending time with friends and family. Should be relaxing...hopefully.

It's Almost Here

It's been a while since I last posted, so I thought I would give you all an update. Spring Holiday is just around the corner. Tomorrow is my last day of classes and I simply can't wait! I'm so ready for this three week break. Even if most of my friends are going home it will still be lovely. Marlene and Lisa are staying over the break as well. What's that? Oh, me? No, I'm not going home for break. I thought about it, but I came to the decision that I would really like to go home and see my friends and little too late and the flights are kind of expensive. I might still go home after the first week. But that's a big IF right now. It would be nice to spend two weeks at home relaxing. Maybe if I get the housing situation for next year worked out in this first week then yeah I will. But...well it might also be nice to stay here. We've been having such LOVELY weather lately and I hear California is suffering from surprise rain. Ohm decisions, decisions...

Anyway, I shall post tomorrow as well. I hope you're all having a good time doing whatever it is that you do. Happy spring!
