Springtime

Springtime has been associated with rebirth and starting anew. This spring feels no different and yet it feels completely different.

Two weeks ago, my department moved into a new office. It's smaller, but gives us the space we need. We have less traffic through our space and I think that has been good for us. We even have a patio. It's great.

At the same, I've been doing a lot of committee work. Diversity week was last week and I helped out with some of the presentations. It was hard work, but it was a great experience. My friend, Carol and I are gearing up for our "reign" as Diversity Committee co-chairs and last week was like a baptism by fire. But it was good for us.

So...

Now I sit here thinking about the months ahead. I feel like this is going to be a great summer. I'm getting a dog and I'm really excited about. It's almost like I'm expecting my first child. I'm waiting until June to get the dog, but in the meantime, I have to start getting supplies.

It's all a lot to take in. But it's all exciting too.
