Le Printemps Est Ici!

Spring is here. It officially started yesterday, so I turned in all my papers with a note stating that it was the first day of spring. I even sang it as I walked into my final bell of my final day of school before the break. It actually feels like springtime outside, too. That's impressive considering how confused Cincinnati weather has been. There are signs everywhere in the great outdoors where I spent three or four splendid hours earlier. Unfortunately, my camera is a battery-devouring villain. I had only taken two pictures when it exclaimed "les piles sont faibles" (the batteries are weak) and turned itself off, and we're out of batteries.

I don't have much homework to do over break, and I don't really have any actual plans, so I can get ahead and do things I haven't done in a while. Yesterday I played the piano for roughly a half hour, which I haven't done in ages. After I finish this, I'm going to do some drawing that's not for art class, which I haven't done since the summer. Even more importantly, I slept like a normal person, which I haven't done in far too long. I actually slept for eleven hours last night! That's almost double my normal dose of sleep.

Spring cleaning started yesterday as well. I cleaned my room completely for once. After that was done, I noticed that I had taken most of my artwork off of my walls several months ago in hopes of rearranging it, but I had never finished. I proceeded to take the rest of it down and hang some of it back up along with several pieces that I've made in the past few months. This late morning/afternoon the entire family helped clean up the yard and gardens. During all this, our lovely little mutt decided she wanted to go for a run without us, so we had to chase her. In doing so, I discovered that I really need to get in shape. I had hardly run a quarter of a mile when I started huffing and puffing.
