Spring is in bloom!

I have been having a horrible past couple of weeks. I don't have time for anything, and my apartment looks a mess.

About a month and a half ago, I started working for McDonalds, not the best job in the world, but it pays the bills. When I am not working at McDonalds, I am at school, and when I am not at school, I am at my observation site. My life turned very chaotic very fast.

Yesterday was the worst. I worked a seven and a half hour shift, came home to a load of homework, and group projects (not to mention a very messy apartment), and my computer decided to completely die. She just froze up... I wanted to cry.

I ended up calling home, and then driving home (about 1 hour and 20 minutes away from my apartment) to have my Dad fix the problem.

While packing for home, however, I noticed this out on my balcony:

My allysum finally bloomed! I stopped everything and immediately took pictures. Suddenly, for 5 minutes, my computer, my homework, my work, everything... didn't matter. They were so pretty. To top off my excitement, I also noticed that my bachelor buttons are also going to start blooming soon! About four or five of my plants look like this:


I am anticipating the day when I step out onto my balcony and see it in full bloom... you can bet your socks I will be taking pictures when that day comes.
All in all, even though I had a very bad day, things not going right, and work not getting done, I was still able to see and appreciate God's little wonders. So despite all... I am happy.
