happy march to yer

For some reason March always seems to drag on. And on. And oooooonn.

Maybe its because its that time of the semester when everyone gets burned out.

Or maybe its because you think winter is about done, and spring is fiiiiinally moving in, but then winter surprises you and comes back with a one-two punch.

Also, due to circumstances beyond our control, we won't get a spring break this year.

So, I decided to look up fun things to look forward to in March, (besides St. Patty's day, which is basically an excuse to wear green, get pinched, and watch everyone around get way too drunk), and came across this little website:

March Holidays

Who knew that March 3rd was Alexander Graham Bell's birthday? Or that Uranus was discovered on March 13, 1781?

Wow.

I guess the best thing about March is that February is OVER. One month closer to Spring! One month closer to the end of this semester! One month closer to our trip!

Hurray for March!

Welcome. We like you.

ps. this weekend we: did homework, had friends/missionaries over for dinner, ate at a greasy little diner, went to a birthday party here, went running outside!, 'babysat' a child and a dog, made brownies, went to church and ward choir, watched a documentary, watched this, went grocery shopping, and went to a waterpolo game! so fun.

pss. today i had an interview at Carle Hospital here in urbana for my full time 10 week internship that will happen Summer of 2011 (i know, we do things earrrly around here), and i GOT IT! which is excellent. because there are so many people competing for the few 'in town' positions. and i really wanted to stay here to be close to Jonny (rather than pay big $$$ for a lonely apartment in Chicago or something). hurray! it was a much-needed success after a nasty school week.
