Life is so much better in the sunshine.
The weather is finally starting to show it's true colors, and I couldn't be happier. Being warm when you walk outside is such a relief. The last two days have proven to me that: weather matters.
Cloudy, cold, and crappy = crabby, unsocial, bad day.
sunny,warm, beautiful = smiley, social, happy day.
Yesterday I was done with class at 9:30am, had breakfast, sat by the river with Jo, soaked up the sun for an hour in the prairie, and on the library lawn, and then had choir. mmmm so much sunshine!
Today, my movement class improved dance pieces together, which was so nice. Sat outside between classes, and then joined the Contact Improv dance class with Abby. We rolled around outside and inside, improving with the idea of "resistance is futile". So wonderful. Then Abby and I walked up through the prairie and on top of a bluff and back. then I read a book in the sunshine. Could life get any better? My goodness!
I have dirty feet, and tan lines...and life is GOOD :)

i'm not a weakling anymore
I have successfully only slept in my bed at home once this entire semester so far.
I am finally learning.
It takes time to get used to not being home. Last year I didn't go more than 3 weeks without finding some reason or excuse to take a weekend home. But it is getting easier.
As nice as being home is, there isn't much to do but sit around, eat food, and watch movies. Only a handful of old friends might be home, and family is busy.
Weekends on campus are such a good time to just connect with people, have a good time, and explore the town. They are a chance to actually sleep in, and also time to earn some money working for more than 2 hours at a time.
I used to get stressed and lonely when I wasn't home for a long period of time, but Luther is becoming a second home. I never thought it would happen, but it has. I love my bed, my room, the showers, the food, the town. Everything is wonderful, why leave it?
Home has it's advantages: being with my rents, starbucks/caribou coffee, and actually driving places. But college really is a new life, and a new home. (minus the whole...you know...money thing)
I am however welcoming this easter break to sit and stop thinking about school for awhile. thank goodness
