I haven’t really written anything but music, game, and politic news in a while so here’s my effort to try to rectify that. What’s going on with me?

Well, on the 11th I went to Ames with with a couple friends to visit Craig and Hayley for a night and it was pretty packed there. Thus, of course, I came down with the flu the following Monday and I’ve been slowly getting over that since – very slowly. It’s been quite annoying.

Yesterday was an amazing day, however, and it was the best reminder this year that summer will return, and when it does, all shall be good. I’m anxious to start some summer classes and get them done with so I can get into my program for school next year.

But as for spring, what’s keeping me occupied? When it’s not raining and I’m not sick then biking. I got a new bike last year and I’m pretty excited for summer to get here. We’ve got a new camera I can pop in my pocket and I’m pretty pumped to just ride of and take some shots.

Also, towards the end of May we’re finally going to be heading to Memphis and/or Nashville for the postponed trip we were going to take during spring break. I can’t wait for that. Other vacationing plans for the rest of summer? Concerts hopefully, followed by a family trip to, as far as I know at this point, either South Dakota or Wisconsin for some fishing/camping. Fun stuff. I mean, I would prefer to go to Florida again, especially where we’ve stayed the past couple years, but I think we’re going to take a break from that this year.

At first I wasn’t a big fan of the change, but it’s definitely growing on me. I haven’t actually “roughed it” for a while, since we went on our fishing trip in Canada when I was in middle school, and that was a blast. We used to pack up tents and take off all the time to either to a camp ground or our cabin and I do miss it. I just need to find a bike rack at this point.

Anyways, it’s 5:30 in the morning and my dogs are crying like mad to be let out so I guess I’ll leave it at this. I can’t wait summer.
