The Strawberry Swing

Some quotes I found on profiles while Facebook stalking.

Not that these relate to my particular time in life, but they are nice.

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” — Louise Erdrich

“Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason
If you get a chance to improve your life, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.”

Scratch the last post.

I get 10 days off for Easter:) Going to hit Andalucia hard. Seville for the Semana Santa festivities, but also 1-2 day trips to Granada, Cordoba, Cadiz, and Ronda. They’re all within an hour and a half train ride from Seville.

Granada

Cordoba

Cadiz

Ronda

Seville vs. Granada

For my Easter Holiday. We get a solid 5 days off and I think it would be fun to go to the Semana Santa festivities in Spain. Seville and Granada have the best shows. Granada is closer to the beach for a fun day trip, but there seems to be more to do in Seville. Oh, first world problems.

Beginning of term, always so busy.

Have a lot of commitments with the Rotary this next month. Will be going into lab on Saturdays. Taking life drawing classes at the art school (or nudey drawing classes, as my friends like to say). Trying to keep social with friends. Busy bee, but I’m really happy with the busyness. I think that’s how you defeat the long stretches of darkness in the UK is by never being in your room.
