Random Musings After a Month Off of Blogging

So, this semester has been a little crazy for me, what with working 20 hours a week and doing classes (I know, some people's lives are a lot worse, but 9-5 everyday is unusual for me, ask anyone who knows me). So, since not a lot of people read my blog, I figured I didn't need to update it for a while. And, honestly, I don't think anyone wants to hear about life in the hydrogeochemistry lab or my weekly advanced hydro papers (if you do, just let me know)

So, the month of February is upon us. If you don't like February, don't worry, it is already almost over. Lots of amazing people have been born in February throughout the years...George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, et cetera. I myself came within a few days of missing out on being born in this amazing month. Of course, if I had waited a couple of days longer, I would have been born on leap day, every kid's worst nightmare. I turn 25 this year, but honestly, after you turn 21, nobody really cares anymore exactly how old you are except for car rental places and insurance companies. Actually, my niece turned 1 today, and I think I was a little more excited to shop for her birthday than I am to celebrate my own.

As long as we are on the subject of February, we might as well talk about Valentine's Day. I have never been one to celebrate the holiday much, having never had any real reason to, and this year was no different. But, as Valentine's day came around this year, I decided to move away from the "hater" mentaltiy I have always had towards Valentine's Day. I mean, I guess it isn't the worst thing in the world, and someday I will find joy in it. But for now, it passed much like any other day.

Since this post has really turned into a crazy stream of conciousness, you should probably know that I have a cold right now and I am pretty tired. I may regret some of what I type when I read it after I am fully cognizent. I guess you should never be bored and sick at the same time. Hopefully life picks up a little in the next few weeks so I have something more to write about.
