Meanwhile In Western Pennsylvania

Easter is literally right around the corner and there is snow on the ground.  I will never understand weather.  Last year around this time it was 80 degrees and sunny.  I heard talk that Punxsutawney Phil, groundhog, was going to die soon.  When I say "die soon" I mean people are plotting to kill him, because he hasn't been right in years.  We will should understand though that Phil doesn't actually predict when Spring will actually arrive.  It depends how much humans drive, smoke, and continue to fill up wastelands.  All-in-all, there is still snow on the ground, and my games are being cancelled.

I wish I could venture back to Florida.  The weather was beautiful, I didn't have classes, and my team kicked-butt on the field.  After everything I have experienced this school year, Florida was the best week of my life.  I have not laughed that hard in a long time, and I was truly thankful.  Sadly, I am back  in Pittsburgh.  I feel like I have seasonal depression ever since I've been back.  The gray sky just sucked the joy right out of me.  I'll deal.  Once I can start playing on the field again and the sun comes out, Pennsylvania will become more enjoyable.

Shamrock Shakes and Softballs

I honestly do not like the fact that it is March.  There's nothing wrong with the month, it's the fact that it is getting closer to the end of the year.  I enjoy school mainly for the people, and when May rolls around most of my friends will be gone.  This is a said situation to think about, and so this is why I dislike March.  I probably will also dislike April and May, but I'll get over it when it's June once I realize life isn't over.

But that is the only reason why I don't like March.  Here are the reasons why I DO like March:

1. Leave for Florida for Spring Break
2. Softball games start
3. My dad's birthday
4. Hopefully 30 degrees turn into 45 degrees
5. No more snow??
6. Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds
7. St. Patrick's Day

....and that is about all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment.  I am absolutely ready for a change in setting so I can change my mood.  Florida will definitely be a positive influence on me.  I will be done there with the softball; kicking off our season in the Rebel's Games Tournament. I looked at Florida's weather yesterday, and it is at an impressive temperature of 75 and sunny.  Jealous.  I am pumped to have such great weather, and to spend time with my team.  It will be the first time I step on dirt since September, and I am more than ready!
