Spring is finally here!

Although it took a while to finally start, Winter really made its presence known here in Clarion these past couple months. It seemed that once Winter finally arrived, there wouldn't be more than 2 days without a new coating of snow on the ground. Although it was nice for a while, I can't say I'm sad that the weather is in the 50's once again. I enjoy walking to class (I live about 15 minutes from campus if I walk) and it was really tough to keep that up the last couple months. Now that it will be warm, I will be able to make that my regular routine once again.

I'm also hoping to make visits to the Rec Center part of my daily routine. It is a great facility with an indoor track, 3 basketball courts, weight room, and a rock wall, among other things. Although I have no attempted the wall yet, hopefully I will by the end of the semester.

The past week as been pretty uneventful. I went to Washington D.C. last weekend to protest the Iraq war, which was an interesting experience. It was my second march against Iraq, and it never ceases to amaze me how many different kinds of people come out to support the cause.

After getting back to school, it has been all about hitting the books hard. I think I am done with writing papers for a week or two, but that doesn't mean there isn't stuff to do. I have a couple plays to read, including Angels in America, which is 280 pages long, so that will keep me busy.

Thanks for reading!

Mike
