Spring Cleaning!

"caCA caCA....tweet tweet!" O happy day!

When I went to class today, the sun was shining bright and it felt pleasently warm on my face. :) I just can't seem to get rid of my smile! The snow is melting and I can see grass again! After a extensive, arctic, depressing, and sunless winter, I readily welcome the sounds of birds. Many households clean their houses from top to bottom during spring. They take spring cleaning time very seriously. Even I was motivated by the sights, sounds, and smells of spring today. I threw open my dorm window, and put some serious elbow grease into cleaning out my desk and underneath my bed. Now, if only my roommate would do the same! :) Just kidding, her side of the room is always ten times better than mine.

But, after all of my back breaking laborous cleaning, I sat down and thought about spring. It's a time of the year of new life. Buds are forming on trees, baby animals are being born. It's more of a beginning to the year than the month of January. So, I'm making some resolutions. And I encourage you to do the same. I mean, State Convention is so close I can almost touch it, so why not make a resolution to study REAL hard for your competition this next month. Or, maybe there was something that you really wanted to try this school year but never got around too. Make it a goal, a SMART goal, to try that activity next year.

Whatever it may be, let your bud of a goal blossom into a beautiful flower! :)
yes maybe that last comment was a little too cute, but I was proud of my creativity!

Enjoy the weather!!
