Spring is here and it feels permanent this time around! The weather is always crazy and unpredictable in east Tennessee (except for late May through early September when it is always HOT) but it seems that this year the weather was even more insane and that spring did not want to stick around. It was warm and spring like for a week about a month ago, and then it got cold again, then it warmed up for a day and then it was cold again. The weather was insane, even by East Tennessee standards. The worst part was that I would get my hopes up about the nice weather, only for it to be dashed away by the sudden cold and dreary weather. Thanks Obama.
But now, that is all behind us. It is now officially spring. I waited a week before declaring it because as I said before, the weather can change at any moment and I didn't want to jinx it. It has been warm and spring like for over a week now. I have my window open in my room and on Saturday, I properly shaved my legs! Not like just a little part so that I can pull off a specific thing that I am wearing, but like all the way so I can wear shorts and stuff. Speaking of shorts, I am wearing shorts now! It's so exciting. I really like wearing shorts, especially when I am at home (mostly because home shorts are stretchy and comfy).
I am a bit worried about my nose starting to get runny again because of the weather and pollen in the air, but I think it may be a lack of fresh air that was causing that before, so I should be good (hopefully). I have not really enjoyed any springtime activities yet. I have not been running for a while (due to being sick and then having to prep for the GRE) and since Easter has not come for me yet (possible future post explaining this), I haven't done anything else mildly spring like outdoors. Maybe I should go buy a kite and try to fly it in the yard or something this weekend. That way, I can celebrate both spring and being done with the GRE. I go hard with my celebrations.
I am so excited about it now permanently being spring now that I don't even care about the downsides of warm weather like all of the bugs, constantly shaving my legs because I want to wear shorts or a dress, being sweaty, and not being able to hide any fat rolls with layers of clothes. It's a bit weird because I never really think of spring when I think of my favorite season or type of weather. I think the fact that I have been mostly indoors for the past few months when I was so used to go outside all the time to get to class or anywhere else I needed to be, has made me appreciate being outside more. Speaking of which, I need to find some sort of responsibility or obligation that will get me out of the house so that I have a constant excuse to leave and go outside a bit in between said obligation and heading home.
Anyway, I am off now to take another practice GRE and stare longingly out the window at the beautiful weather.
