Non-existant Spring

I have come to find that the spring season does not really exist in Idaho. Everything is dead for months on end and then all of a sudden it is summer.
Despite the lack of seasons, I am extremely pleased to announce that it is in fact warming up here in the freezer known as Rexburg. I now feel safe wearing only 4 layers, the 3 inches of ice that covered every inch of pavement has pretty much melted, the 4 foot icicles are melting (and falling :-s), I am able to wear shoes other than trainers or snow boots, I haven't had to deal with snowstorms lasting for days on end in quite some time, and the 40 plus inches of snow we've had are slowly but surely disappearing. I am not going to lie, it is sad to see the snow melt, but it is such a good feeling to see my shadow again :-D
The winter semester is always a lot tougher to endure than any other, and this semester is most definitely no exception. It has been continuously busy and just plain hectic, but I have decided that this is exactly the way that I like things to be. I have been very actively involved in SIFE this semester and I will traveling with the SIFE team in April for competition....to Florida!! Yay. Warmth. I have also been given the opportunity to teach two of my business and communications classes. I don't know why the teacher feels she can trust me to teach, but nonetheless I was asked to teach twice this week. The classes are an hour and a half long and they have been based upon Harvard Business School cases....it has been most enjoyable actually! My social life has definitely decreased this semester, but it was unfortunately essential.
Despite my lack of a social life, I am most excited for tonight. Jordon arrived in the states yesterday and therefore I get to see both Jessamyn and Jordon tonight. Whoop whoop. I will try and get some photos of all of us together...we're never very good at that.
