Even though it is Spring...it just doesn't feel like spring.
For the past four years I have been plugging away at getting a higher education. Last year, I fulfilled the requirements for a Bachelors degree, in that I came to realize I wanted more than that, applied to Grad Schools, and waited. About this time a year ago, I decided where I was going and what that would mean to me.
Since September and in contradiction to people around me, I have been spending my time preparing and studying. In about five weeks I get to take a comprehensive test covering the materials from classes over the last five years and there is a part of me that seems a little apprehensive about that. I don't think I am ready for that test despite the hours of time I have put in weekly preparing, learning, studying.
I dont really think it is spring because I havent spent anytime outside playing.

I can recall a time while in Germany, using the idiom "Water off a duck's back", and then getting to explain what I meant.
The past few days, I have felt somewhat like that goofy boy trying to explain an english idiom to a german speaker in german...
It's not like I have said something out of the ordinary, it just seems that way...
