My Letter to February

Dear February,                                                                                                                              2/26/15                       

Isn't it funny how you always seem to be so freaking long, yet you're the shortest month of year..what is up with that? It's messed up and needs to be changed. You were full of cold, long days where hot liquid rarely left my fingers, abnormally warm days spent in T-shirts and sneakers, and, of course, the same ole boring gray days Washington is all to familiar with. You and your weather changes, so dang confusing!

You held dreaded things, such as the anticipation of the writers conference, putting down my puppy dog I've had for nine years, and the weirdness of Valentines day. But, you also had some positives, like learning new writing techniques, discovering new passions, and getting to know some fantastic people a whole lot better. So really, you weren't all that bad. You even gave me some summer-like adventures that I had been so desperately craving.

February, thank you for this crazy, interesting month. It is always a pleasure and I look forward to what you bring me next year. Farewell for now.

With much love,

Elizabeth

My Letter to January

Dear January, 

What a long and stressful month you've been. With finals and science fair, I never seemed to get a wink of sleep or break from writing something down. The side of my wrist has been stained with ink all month! Yet, now you're done and I feel like you've just zipped on by. What happened? I must have been so busy and exhausted to even realize what was going on with you. I'm glad you're over with though. Sorry to say it, but you've never been my favorite month, plus with you gone, it's one less month till summer and freedom.

In my very little free time, I attempted to blog  and catch up on reading, that I was thankful for. I also watched lots of Netflix, for after doing school all day, I feel completely brain dead and need something to do that doesn't take effort. But you were stubborn this year and rarely let me do anything other then cram for finals and panic over the science fair, so thank you for that.

Anyways, at least you  had let me drink plenty of the chocolate milk I was craving and learn more about poetry, so I have a few things to be thankful for. In the end though, I'm excited for February, See you next year!

With Love,

Elizabeth
