Purple and Green make Spring

It’s that time of year. The little green weeds with purple coloring are springing out of the ground while yard-owners unmercifully try to hack them away. (By the way, I loves these weeds. I hate the decorative cabbages that people plant, but I love the weeds.) Soft, tender, light-green leaves are gracing the tries, and the red-buds are blooming in full purple, magenta splendor. In Oklahoma, purple and green really do mean Spring.

And with Spring, a young girl’s fancy turns to thoughts of… paranoia… Nah. But what is wrong with my brain this week? Perhaps when cabbages bloom, they release hallucinogenic fumes that keep good graduate students from reading their homework. Actually, this is the first week in over a month, that I’m not writing a paper or agonizing about a test or something. So I’m being social… and you guys know how hard that can be for me. =) I went to Sarah and Matt’s on Tuesday, Impact group on Wednesday, now I’m having the girls over tonight. Tomorrow, I have a reception with the SLIS Department, and then Sunday, Lauren and Eddie are coming up to go to the Renaissance Fair with me! This is all amazing fun and wonderful. It’s Spring!

But Spring and homework don’t mix. So tomorrow, I’m dedicating myself until four to homework. I’m not going to watch basketball or cartoons. I’m not going to play on my email or my blog. I am going to finish my homework for my class, Organization of Information.

But just to brag…I got a scholarship from the College of Arts and Sciences (and it’s just about enough to cover my medical bills from the last two months). So… I get to go to a rewards ceremony. I’m hoping it has tasty free food, and I’m allowed to invite anyone I wish. So if anyone actually wants to sit through a potentially boring list of alphabetized award winners, tell me, and I will sign you up. It’s on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 12.

Have a good weekend. Enjoy Spring.

…yeah, and IN spring, wind shear, dry lines and combatting air masses make tornadoes, you lucky, plains-dweller. I’m not a bit envious.

Just seeing how you’re doing…seems to be fairly well, I see. Take care and blessings to you…

It’s a scholarship for good self-propaganda skills. =) The essay was on how my world view is affected by OU. I had a fun time getting to brag about my home state and my current university.
