It all started with a quick trip to the library to return some books that were soon to be overdue.  Then, it happened.  I discovered it was the most beautiful night I've been able to enjoy in quite some time.  I leisurely walked to the library, enjoying the cool breezes and the warm temperatures.  I could smell spring on the air.  I walked into Jackson Hall, popped into the library, dropped my books off, walked back out the doors, and decided that, even though I had homework awaiting me, I would take the time for a trip around the quad.  I closed my eyes, being careful that I was on a straight path, and, breathing in deeply, enjoyed a few moments to myself in the beauty of God's creation.  As I walked on, after opening my eyes, so I didn't run into anyone or anything, I saw spring beginning to bud on campus.  The buds on the trees were forming, promising forthcoming leaves, the smell of dirt wafted by me as I walked past a large expanse of lawn with no grass growing.  It was a beautiful night.  I could see girls jogging ahead of me.  Good for them, I thought.  I'll just keep my leisurely pace.  I could hear voices coming from down by the pond, signifying couples enjoying their last few moments together before curfew.  I passed the tennis courts where several were playing, also enjoying the benefits of the final arrival of spring. I walked past a couple also walking around the quad.  Funny how warm, spring weather brings out the couples, and even, I'm convinced, encouraging of the starting of a relationship.  As I neared my dorm, I thanked God that spring had finally arrived, and determined to add this entry to those posted beforehand.  In all the dismalness of winter, spring has finally conquered.  Even though I still see patches of snow here and there.
