'Spring - a time for love, a time for two...

... A time when lovers start to coo - spring can lick me!'
You gotta love the Bare.

When I left home for my seminar this afternoon it suddenly occurred to me that I have been living in my own private exam world in front of the computer this past week. I don't think I've actually left the house at all since last Wednesday, except for the brief visit to my aunt on Saturday night. So, when I got out this afternoon, you can imagine my chock to see that almost all the snow had melted. It was practically gone! I wanted to do a backflip, but realised before I attempted it that it would most probably both look silly and end in tears and/or embarrassment, so I contained myself.

But I could see the grass, and the sun was out, and I could fold down the collar on my jacket without freezing... It was spring. Seriously. And you know what that means? Spring clothes/shoes/bag shopping! Or, for the skint people who are trying to save money, window shopping! Not as much fun, true, but still better than nothing.

I saw two little girls outside the shopping centre on my way to the train station today. I think they were collecting money for something. But they may also have been trying to scare people away, because they were rattling what little money they had in their collecting boxes so loudly no one wanted to go near them. I felt like throwing them a tenner for the promise of going away, but seeing as I was in fact going away they might have followed me and the tenner would have been good for nothing, so I decided to leave them along with the people who were bleeding from their ears.

Now, I'm going to print out this friggin' exam, not look at it until I'm going to put it in my mentor's hand tomorrow, and then try and put it out of my head until I get the result back. I'm still positive I'm failing it, but seeing as there is absolutely nothing more I can do about it, I have decided to at least try and accept it - yes, Logan, there they are; the horrible words accept failure. ;)

So, in all, right now I'm feeling okay.
I'll feel better when I have a little candybar. *snort* (did you watch the RENT video blogs?)
