spring is here--life is skittles and . . .

Prompt: What's one of your most favorite Springtime activities, and how did you happen to get into it?

I don’t really have things I only do in the spring, although I have been a student most of my life, and spring is one of those times of year (like Christmas) where finals are involved. If we count finals avoiding activities, I have several things I’ve started because it was spring. For example, around Christmas time, I make little crafty things like Christmas tree ornaments because I’m avoiding studying for finals. I just need something to make my brain slow down enough to sleep.

In the spring, ornaments are less effective as time wasters. Instead, I started cross-stitching because of spring finals fever. I also started knitting at about that time. I knit a lot, and I started because I was trying to avoid the over burdened brain effect that strikes during the spring.

There’s something about the spring that makes me tired. Even now that I’m out of school, I see the trees growing greener and feel the air warming and I feel like hibernating, like I’ve been moving too much over the winter and my brain is overloaded, and it’s time to relax. I don’t spring clean.

Today I slept for about three hours after church (it was a long day—I basically was on for four hours straight). I really want another nap. sigh.
