Bottles of Mana

This past week was my long awaited spring break! I didn't have a plan for it until my friend's father asked me to paint another mural for him at his pool supply store. At first, I questioned whether I wanted to paint this mural because I had been so emotionally and mentally exhausted from midterms and school as a whole. I really wanted to rest and not do anything that would take up my energy. But, I needed the money for my adventure in Japan (I was offered a job to teach English and I accepted!!!) so I said yes. Turns out, this mural was what helped me have one of the most restful weeks I've had in a while.

The things I enjoy about winter are the things that keep me warm. Hot chocolate, hot tea, big sweaters, scarves, blankets, watching movies in bed, etc., are my favorite things about winter. This is mostly because they involve not spending a lot of time outside in the cold. If winter had more sun I think I would like it more. The lack of sun during winter gets to me sometimes and to be honest it can be depressing. I love being outside, wearing t-shirts and shorts, drinking iced tea, and going out with friends. I feel like I can't really do much  of that in the winter.
