As the buds begin to open life draws itself closed.

Sunday was beautiful. As was yesterday. And the first half of today. Then it started snowing. April is behaving itself. I think April just wanted me to feel like I was home - thus the crazy changes - from 77 yesterday to snowing today. It was warmer in Sapporo today than it was here in Provo I think.

Classes are over. Wow. It went fast. I loved the way Dr. Tate tied up our humanities class, it was fun to have him for the whole year. Kearl and Pauline both tied their classes up nicely as well. I will really miss my classes to be honest. I loved them. Modern was great today - our final was crazy. We used Bjork's Earth Intruders as our song and our piece was CRAZY. No one knew what to say...they all just looked puzzled. It was a weird dance but so much fun. It is so much easier to move when it's your own choreography, and you move so much better. So basically I kicked butt at this one.

I was a social butterfly today. I was hanging out with people from 5:40 until midnight thirty. And I did no homework....hehe. Oh well. I needed a break.

49 days left until I am a missionary. I got a letter from the mission president in Sapporo today, but it went to my home. My dad read it to me and it was cool - it just made the fact that I'm going all the more real.

All in all, Cliff bars are my primary and desired source of energy, orange juice is my favorite drink of the moment, and I have work in 7 hours and 8 minutes. I need some sleep. I've gotten less than 10 hours between the last two nights. Not good.
