Oh Spring, where art thou?


One week of school to go before finals...

I am actually feeling pretty good about things. I finished my research paper on the history of Shakespeare in Germany, including performance history during WWII. Maybe I will figure out how to put it on my blog for those interested parties (Pika and Dad probably. And Kara. Maybe Kathleen? Mom? Ok well if none of you are interested that's ok...).

Work has continued to be pretty stressful. 40 hours this week. But the other manager just got back from her vacation today so that should relieve my schedule.

I just applied to be an intern for the summer as a technical writer at the company Joe works for because it is small so I think it would be a great way to get a lot of varied hands-on experience. It will probably be unpaid so I would just do it about 15-20 hours a week and then stay at Charlotte Russe and just work 20 hours. And I am going to take one class.

Ok tangent: Conference was amazing. I really appreciated all the talks on love and the atonement and forgiveness. I especially loved Elder Uchdorf's talk, and most all the talks on Sunday morning.

I had to work the Saturday of conference, but Joe and I got to spend the whole day at my parents house on Sunday and Mom made a delicious Easter dinner. We also dyed Easter eggs; unfortunately, I left my egg in the green dye for a minute and then got distracted and didn't remember it until 2 hours later after conference was over. Luckily Tom noticed it and saved it.

Stella is doing well-- yes I decided on "Stella." Her only quirk is that sometimes she gets stuck going into 2nd gear, or she will shift out of 2nd gear into neutral randomly. But she is great.

My question of the day is: has anyone seen Spring? I think she has gone missing. Amber alert! Waking up on Easter morning to snow was not the highlight of the day for me. Oh Utah.

So (I need to work on transitions), Joe had bought me Muse tickets for Monday night as my Christmas present. The weather was terrible getting there (and traffic) and it took us 2 hours. We therefore missed the opening band, but luckily only missed the first Muse song. The concert was awesome- they know how to put on a show. The lights and effects were amazing. When it was over I was still wanting more.

Well, that is probably enough for today. Let me know if you find Spring.

Love, Wren
