Although I enjoy reading other people's posts, and this has certainly been a venue for conversation, debate, and learning, I am frustrated with my newfound addiction. As if I need yet another reason to be on the computer all the time!! I know, right, just get off the computer and go for a walk. But instead, I want to see what other people are saying; I want read the next best blog; I want to post the next best comment.
The weather doesn't help. I am looking out my fabulously designed, south-facing window. It is April 19th and the ground is covered in snow. Today we got rainsnow, or some sort of precipitation, something, I'm sure, to make all skiers hate to ski, all walkers to hate to walk, and all clouds to have a big ole party in the sky. It looks downright dreary out there. Warm, yes. It's supposed to be 40 degrees today, which compared to a -20 average, that's pretty warm! But I gotta tell ya, I am ready for spring. I can't even look at pictures of springtime anywhere else because it just depresses me. I know, move out of Alaska, right? I think this is probably the most depressing time of the year. Not the 23 hours of darkness, but this brown, wet, muddy, dreary spring.
So I think I'll stay here on my couch, maybe go for a walk later, or maybe take a night ski when the snow gets crunchy again. Progressive has been my gateway to the real world, and even though it keeps me from doing other things, it has been a mental challenge as I fight the Alaska winter blues, mixed with the I don't want to be in school anymore blues. So thank you, ProgressiveU!

Thanks for a positive blog. You have posted comments several times on my blogs and I have neglected to read yours. That is definately not fair. lol. I am one of those people who believe if someone reads my blog I should give them the same respect. This is just how I feel.
I should get a sleeping bag and camp out by the computer. I am also on here quite a bit. My main reason is being lonely and having no one to really talk to. I also like to try and help people anyway that I can. it sounds depressing there but you manage to keep you head up which is good!

Love comments? I do too!
Wow, can I ever relate to your situation! I'm in Minnesota, so we've had a couple of 60 and 70 degree days this week, but now... now it's 30 something, gray, and snowing. It's especially torturous because it was glorious and sunny all week! It's like teasing a toddler with a new toy. But at least I have an excuse to stay in an be a blog junkie all day, which is the perfect way to avoid homework!
Sing it, sister! I get it.
