The Month of All Seasons

April.  This has not been a very forgiving month, thus far.  I have been having trouble wrapping my head around what has been happening with the weather.  My host family said that it would be weird and windy, but this is wild.  The last 4 days have been nothing but everything.  We get all four seasons in this short month of April.  Yesterday was the culmination.  The morning started out at +2 C.  It was a cold road to school.  Some might say that I’m weak, but whatever.  I’m from California and that was freezing.  Once at school, it started getting windier and windier.  Then, it unexpectedly started to rain.  It rained little snowballs.  Yes, it hailed and continued to do so for about 10 minutes.  Then, the sun came out.  Then, the winds acted up again.  At about 2 in the afternoon, it all calmed down and the sun came out.   It was beautiful.  This only last for about 30 minutes because soon after, the clouds came out again and ruined the sunshine.  Soon after came the rain.  The afternoon continued like that for another 2 hours.  I had to wait until 4pm before I decided to go home and make it their without the rain.  It was gloomy and windy and sad.  I thought that spring had arrived.  I was wrong.  Sources say that this month will be like this for another two weeks.  However, I know that soon it will be so hot and humid that I will wish it was like this.  We’ll have to see.  As of right now, I’m ready for the heat.  Bring it.  I’m not a big fan of mud.

On a good note, I got home and was pleasantly surprised to find that my couch had been spruced up a little bit.  Typically, there is a thick blanket cover that has the design of a floor rug.  It’s not the fanciest, but it works to cover the couch and keep it from the elements of human coming and going.  However, today was totally different.  Zebra print!  Not really my cup of tea, but I’LL TAKE IT!  Have a good day!  : )
