Why I hate February

Okay, so I don't actually hate February. But it is probably my least favorite month. And no, it is not because I am single and Valentine's Day is in February. I happen to actually enjoy Valentine's Day even when I'm single because I get chocolate ;)

February is the awkward not-yet-spring-but-I'm-sick-of-winter month. It's cold and snowy (for MN anyways) and by that time mostly everyone is sick of winter. The first couple of times it snows, it's fun and exciting. By February, it's just really annoying and inconvenient and many people, including myself, just want spring.

So that's how I feel right now. I just want spring. Soon!

My obsession with whales

I recently finished reading Moby-Dick for my American Literature class and I actually enjoyed it.  If you can get used to the fact that over half of the 600 page novel is not the plot-line, then you would enjoy it too! As I was reading it, my obsession with whales began. I've always loved the ocean and it's mysterious creatures, specifically sharks, and now I love whales too. I  need to go whale-watching someday :)
