The Coming of Spring-Megan W
The warm weather that we have had this past week has been amazing, it is something that by the end of the summer, I will once again be taking advantage of it, and want my jeans back. Though, that is not the case right now, I am so sick of my jeans and my sweaters and just want my capris and t-shirts back. We love walking to class without being cold, even though in September we hated walking to class because it was hot. The window was able to be opened again, even though we were so excited that we could close it when the snow started to fall. The sun and blue sky is something that it hadn’t seemed like we had seen in months, even though it was exciting when the first snow fell. It is odd, on how in the span of six months, so much of our views and what excites us changes. People are now excited to go play out in the sun, while a couple of months ago it was exciting because they could actually go play out in the snow. You have got to love Michigan weather.
As Monday afternoon came, and it had seemed like summer had left, it also seemed like all those winter blues that had been building up inside of everyone had been released and everyone walked around with a smile on their faces. The students came out of their caves to go out and play their first round of Frisbee Golf for the year or at least to just go throw that Frisbee around. On the sundeck in my dorm, people were out there playing their guitars and doing their homework, it felt like spring again. As we passed other dorms, there were people on all of their sundecks as well; everyone popped their head out for a couple of days. A friend and I took a walk, take in the beautiful blue sky, and what we found was the track team out practicing, the softball team out on the field, spring was finally here.
