It is now officially spring, finally! Let’s hope that the weather starts to feel like spring…maybe one day soon! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. My weekend was very low key as I spent most of my weekend in the library working on Mid-Term papers and take home exams, it is that time of year in the college semester. But in just a few days I will be done with Mid-Terms and will escape on vacation for a week. Just need to make it to Wednesday! Until then, here are some links from around the web that have been helpful in distracting me from my homework.
