The weather...

Here we are, in another wonderful Missouri February. Temperatures this past week ranged from 20 to about 70. While this can make people start to get sick - and it has - this inconsistency in the weather is also quite frustrating. I mean, how many people were excited when it was sunny and 65, just to be crushed a few days later when temperatures had dipped back below freezing. You go to bed at night in shorts, and wake up shivering. You get to bed in pants, and wake up sweating.
If Winter is going to stay, then let it stay. If Spring is going to come, then let it come. At Rockhurst, we just want one or the other. The warm weather is nice, but we only want it if it is going to stick around for a while. The picture is of me last Spring, and I cannot wait for that kind of fun again, but if it continues to get cold, it is just not going to happen.
With the weather not being a very reliable acquaintance, we must turn to other things. RU baseball started up this last Friday, so that is one thing we can do for fun. There is also basketball, which has had some pretty big games recently. All in all, there are plenty of things to do that can take our minds off this lousy, yet enjoyable, weather that we have been having. Hopefully I do not wake up freezing again.
