The weather has gotten so lovely this month. The sun is out, and it feels nice to be able to wake up in the morning and go to work in daylight. Cool mornings and hot days have become my reality now.
Earlier this month, I went on a small stroll to the post office to get a package. On my way, I became so enamored by all the beautiful sights—cherry trees were in full bloom, the leaves were green, and petals fell on the asphalt like pretty snowflakes. I snapped a few pictures that I think turned out lovely.
Pink trees are some of my favorite sights, so I always get a little excited when I see them. I just wish they weren't so temporary. I wish pink trees and lilacs would last forever.

Oh, how fab are these shoes! I got them the same day as I took that walk, but I ended up with horrible blisters! My sock slipped off, and my foot rubbed on the shoe. Now I'm stuck with a blister that's having a hard time healing. Hopefully it heals soon; I want to be able to wear nice shoes again </3
Since we're already talking about spring...
The spring semester is coming to an end, and I don't know how to feel. It's supposed to be my final year at uni, and I worry that I won't be able to finish everything in time. There are still some smaller assignments that I've got left. Even though some things have taken time *ahem dissertation ahem*, I still am proud of myself and how much I've accomplished in the past three years that I've been at library school. There will be things that will take a bit longer to complete *ahem ahem dissertation again ahem*, but I will do my hardest to do what I can now.
Yesterday, I was at the beach with my friend, and we did a three-card tarot reading on each other. I got the King of Wands, 3 of Pentacles, and 3 of Cups. Tarot cards are something that I'm still very new at, but I really feel like I needed to hear that message. I need to believe in myself more and trust that I have all the skills to finish school. I'm so close now. All I need to do is remind myself that I'm almost at the finish line.
I'm looking forward to a nice summer. I haven't read much at all since last fall, and it's something that I really want to get back into, as well as creating. There are some poetry handbooks on my bookshelf that I'm thinking about reading this summer.

Hopefully I can put the old typewriter to use... "First thought, best thought" and all that jazz.
