There are 18 days of school left, not the time to start slacking or do things half-assed. i’m determined to get high 70s - mid 80s in all my classes this year, which will be the first time I’ve really made a signifcant effort. Barring any unforseen slacking/illness I should be able to pull it off.

Afetr finals I plan on devoting a large portion of my time on my garden. This weather makes me really anxious for spring/summer and I think it’s because last summer was the best I’ve had in a really long time. I’ve been thinking about this particular day in late april last year, I was chilly and overcast but still warm enough to go outside without a jacket. Tal had given me a huge stack of egg cartons to start seedlings and I spent about 2 hours outside planting peas, beans, carriots and chard. My hands and clothes were filthy with potting soil and the temperature was getting colder and colder but I stuck with it and ended up with about 10-12 cartons finished. I felt so proud because I had never done any gardening before and managed to kill all my houseplants up to that point. I think about that day and get butterflies because I’m so damn excited for this horrible snow and cold to go away.

I also celebrated 2 years with Ryan this weekend. We kept it pretty low key, just dinner and hanging out. He’s still the best thing that has happened to me and is consistantly supportive, loving and amazing. I’m all sappy and lame and it’s awesome!
