mikao's world

splish splash

today is an absolutely lovely day, and finally the puddles are attempting to dry up somewhat, and the Lake Superior that i have to cross on my way to the post office is almost down enough so i don't have to get wet socks when i attempt to cross it. and my weatherpixie is wearing clothes i didn't even know she owned... all she wore all winter was an ugly green jacket! i hope she's not sad like i am, i won't be wearing my lovely navy peacoat again until probably at least october.

our backyard outside my window is almost snow free, except for around the hedges and birches and other assorted trees. we're hoping sometime before the end of the school year we can use our firepit and maybe have a marshmallow roast. mmm....

i just got back from the academic building, i went and visited a couple of friends in the library (very rarely do i ever go to the library to study, i'd rather do that at home... even though i know you're supposed to do that in the library), and went and talked to the college admin office and invited two different people to my graduation banquet because my parents can't come. they came last year though when i got my associate of arts degree, so it's okay that they aren't coming this year.

i'm excited to be getting my bachelor of arts degree. i'm excited that i will be done with college officially (even though i finished all the coursework by Christmas). i'm excited to see what the future holds.

i have learned over the past few years that i do not enjoy constant change. i love the school year because i'm in one place for eight months straight and the people pretty much stay the same. i subtly yearn to be settled. yet i've been in a different province or state every summer for the past five (alberta, maine, the yukon, illinois, ontario) and am excited to be able to return to the same job i had last summer this year. at least i think i am. sometimes i wonder if i should maybe do something else. i'm breaking a pattern.

i hope that that's a good thing.
