"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~Theodore Roosevelt

Spring Fever for my Blog

~It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
~Mark Twain

Well, I should be studying. I bet, on any given day-though I can't quite say at any given time-there are thousands of people who can say that :)

I was feeling all excited that I finished that test and looking out the window at the bright sunshine and thinking how much it felt like April last year for some reason. Finals time last year. And I had this feeling of almost freedom...

And I started to get Spring Fever.

Not to mention walking into the apartment last night it smelled like campfire smoke. Ah, I miss summertime. And I love winter. Normally. I guess it's good I live in Utah-lots of variety!

But I was missing the warmth and how the sun would stay up past five and sitting outside and fires and late nights and a million other things... and I realized my blog looked kind of dark. So I had to find a new background!

Well, I couldn't decide between two. But I like the turquoise :) And on my screen I can't see much of the edges and I don't even remember how it looked when I picked it :P So, it may be changing soon, but I thought it needed a change :)
