May I? Wednesday, May 6 2009

It’s a sure sign the year has gotten away from you when it’s may and you’ve only barely registered that it’s spring–which happens to me every May, so, you know, I guess I’m just bad at seasons? Spring is so fleeting–there’s something so arbitrary about the seasonal designations. By the time it’s clearly spring and not winter anymore, it’s almost summer. It hardly seems fair, really. Spring and autumn are the nice seasons, yet they only last a few fleeting weeks and are gone before you notice. Summer and winter last far too long and tend to have too much time where it’s unbearable and you just can’t wait for spring or autumn to come around.
I guess what I’m saying is it’s springtime, and that’s kind of exciting.
In fairness, Spring in Boston is sneaky as hell and shorter than is fair. I think spring only started yesterday, though summer showed up for a day or so last week.
Spring and fall are definitely the best seasons. I wish they stayed longer.
One of the things I’m looking forward to about being out of school is that I will have May back! It’s such a lovely month, but for most of my life I’ve spent it stressing about end-of-school-year projects and deadlines.
