first REAL day of spring!

So it is abso-freakin-lutely GORGEOUS outside. A sunny 70 degree day with little breeze. The grass is green, the flowers have popped, and the cherry blossoms are blooming. And here I am, stuck in an office...not quite as terrible as a cubicle but all the same I have no window in sight :( Just adding to my general gloom and doom outlook for the week. I have started feeling extremely burnt out from school, work, and practicum. Luckily there is roughly 21 days of until school is over and another 2 weeks after that I'll be done with practicum. THANK JESUS! Then home to the prairies to meet my new niece or nephew...can't wait. I feel badly for the hubby because he's been really homesick this past week, I think missing his guy friends a lot. Both of us have been reminiscing over our college days - although they're not very far away all the people we became close to then are. I was always somewhat skeptical when my mother said you will make lifelong friendships at college but darn it, she was right :) Not to say that I haven't made friends here but it's just different, a different time in life.

I work with undergraduates through my work study position and sometimes I am so surprised at their questions...like, uh duuuuh, you don't know that or you don't know how to at least figure it out on your own?? Ever heard of Google?! I wonder if I was as wide-eyed and green as some of these kiddies seem to be. It's funny because sometimes I can easily relate to them simply due to closeness in age but then other times I feel as though there is a huge canyon of experience between us. which there is. wow. profound. when I'm 80 I hope I still feel just as young but 100 times wiser :)
