A Renewed Energy

Obviously, I have not been the most dedicated when it comes to this blog. Yes, it is the first week in April, and yes, my last post was back in February, but with today begin Easter, I feel it is an appropriate time for a fresh start. I traveled home this weekend to celebrate Easter with my family. It has been the perfect weekend to just relax (even though tomorrow I have a lot of work to d0) And with spring comes a taste of summer. On Saturday, my mom and I just laid out on the dock as my dad went here and there. Of course, the temperature is mild compared to what it will be, but it is such a wonderful feeling to just be outside all day. And of course, a weekend home would not be complete without a comical fishing trip with my dad and several late afternoon cruises. The lake is beautiful this year. With having the lake being so low in years past, it is amazing to see how glorious it is at full pool. Everything looks so alive (and not so dried out as it has been). I have such high expectations for summer 2010. Hopefully, it will be able to live up to them.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll head back to Samford for the last 5 weeks of school. School is stressful and very, VERY busy, and honestly, if I had the choice, I might choose to stay here and lay out on the lake everyday. But this is life isn't it? When you work hard, play time is simply more rewarding. So 5 weeks - I can totally do it. And I've already planned my reward for a semester well-done - Me, Harry Potter, and many days laying out on the dock. I can't wait!!
