Spring time

Any outdoorsman knows that springtime can be one I the busiest time of the year. With The combination of turkey season, the fish spawning, and mushroom sprouting, it can keep anyone busy especially a college student. 

As a college student who also plays baseball, I find it almost impossible to get out and enjoy my favorite time of year. With this being the first warm week of the year I’m starting to get that itch, and it seems like this year I won’t be able to scratch that itch. 

Between work, class and baseball practice I am almost worried that I won’t be able to ever get out and enjoy myself. It can be really frustrating when your best friend calls asking to go fishing and you have to turn him down, especially when later that night he sends you pictures of all the fish he caught. 

I know that this time of my life is only temporary but I just want to be able to do the things I want. No homework, no studying, no practice. When I get home I want to be able to do what I want. 

Snow

This is my first year working for a snow removal company, and up until this past weekend it had been relatively quiet winter. This past weekend we got somewhere around 10 inches of snow. I worked from 4 am to 11 pm on Sunday (missing the Super Bowl) and from 4 am to 12 pm on Monday. The only thing that made it somewhat enjoyable is that I work with two of my best friends.

The work is hard but I don’t mind hard work, but doing something like that is not really what I want to do the rest of my life. It reminds me why I am in college. I also don’t want to sit at a desk and write blogs or articles for a newspaper.

I don’t really know what I want to be or do specifically. I know I want to work, I don’t care what I do as long as I can support my family. As long as I can support my family and have time off to spend with them, then I will be happy.
