Spring Into Spring, Already!

It's been a while, but here we are, April 5th, and the weather has been stealthily jumping around from 45 degrees and rainy and 70 degrees and sunny. I'm ready for the real thing already!!!! We were blessed in Hawaii to experience the same on again off again weather as we've had here-- experiencing 4 out of the usual mere 23 days of rain on the dry side of the big island. Lucky for my dad and I, Hawaii happens to be absolutely gorgeous EVEN on a cloudy day and was still at least 20 degrees warmer than good ol' Indiana!

Hard to believe as far as I'm concerned, but I'm only 9 days away from exiting the teenage realm. Not that "20" actually means ANYTHING besides being one year closer to being allowed into bars and casinos to do all of the drinking and gambling I please. Still, it almost feels like just yesterday that I was 5 years old and pulling up the neighbors tulip garden at our condo in St. Louis. Well, you know what they say-- TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN!!!!!

In news opposite on the spectrum from fun, this semester is painfully drudging on. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to believe that the Kelley School of Business does not intentionally schedule all exams for all classes within a one week period of each other. Coincidence only goes so far, Kelley!!!

On the bright side... only four more weeks until my lower classman undergraduate education is complete! I actually really look forward to this summer. I plan on living in Bloomington, working (hopefully at Borders, Barnes N Noble, or Bed Bath and Beyond if all goes well), and taking an economics class to get it out of the way. Word has it that Bloomington all but dies in the summer, but I almost feel as though a peaceful yet productive summer may be just what I need.

I'm also looking forward to several tours heading out this summer, including but not limited to No Doubt; a Guns n' Roses (sans Slash... :-(...) and Van Halen duet; an 80's super party consisting of Cheap Trick, Def Leppard, and Poison; Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood; and the slightest hope for a Tom Petty refresher!!!! Soon enough.

That update must suffice for now, as I've got to head off to sleep to wake up at a decent hour and pour myself into a Managerial Accounting study guide, but I'll be back as soon as I've got something good to rant or rave about.
