Spring has sprung...

The rains have hit Chicago along with weather above the 30's. I love March, it's always the month where Spring starts to push it's way through the door and winter is forced to take a back seat. Eventually, I would really like to see winter just shoved out the door and do a tuck & roll in the middle of the Mojave never to be seen or heard from again, but alas, there's no such luck.

6 more months til I'm out of here. It's slowly becoming more real. Applying for financial aide has been a headache, but hopefully it will be done by the end of the month and I'll be able to finally rest easy knowing I'm more in debt but Glasgow is paid for.

I have a feeling the next 6 months are going to fly by and I'm not going to know what to do with myself. The past 2 years have been an uphill battle from the very beginning and there have been quite a few people that use to be in my life that didn't make it easy to get through it all but they've left for the most part and as unfortunate as it is to have your trust continually broken by people who meant a lot, it's easier now. I feel like the storm has finally past and the sweet smells of spring are just around the corner. Longer days are here & so are warmer weather and thunderstorms. It's hard not to smile.

Next weekend is St. Patrick's Day, well, the celebration, the actual day is the Tuesday after. I'm running my first marathon on Saturday in St. Louis. I'm nervous but it's only a 5 miles run and though I don't think I'll be able to run the entire thing, just being able to run half or 3/4 will be fine by me. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
