I NEED to know what this tree is called. I see it in the park al the time and it smells so nice. Of course, every time I get close to smell it I end up sneezing ten times, but regardless!! It kind of smells like a mix of jasmine and sweet nectar. I’m not even sure if sweet nectar has a distinct smell, but this tree smells like what nectar would smell like.

March

How has March flown by already? Actually, how have the first there months of this year flown by? I remember what I was doing on the first of the year like it was yesterday. March is my favorite month- and no not because my birthday is in March, but because that’s when we feel the effects of Spring time. Everything becomes nicer in Spring. Excited to post Spring pictures!!

WRITE ABOUT...

Something you do that most people wouldn’t think about

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I saw this prompt it stuck out to me because there are a few things I do on a daily, if not weekly basis that not many people think of. First off, to keep my Japanese skills somewhat presentable, I listen to Japanese news programs, podcasts, and TV shows along with reading a simplified version of text documents. Whether that be the newspaper, or short stories; it helps me retain knowledge. Secondly, I am an organized person so I always keep a notebook and pen around me to write things down. I jot everything under the sun down from grocery lists, ideas, new vocabulary..ANYTHING. For some reason it’s harder for me to retain anything if I don’t physically write it down. I rarely use my phone to jot notes down. Finally, I think I tie my shoes differently than a lot of people. I made it a point to watch and see how people around me tied their shoes and I noticed the way I do it is different. Most people use the “one bunny ear and then loop it around and pull through to tie their shoes. I grab both shoe laces, pinch, and pull. I know my description makes absolutely no sense, but I don’t make ‘bunny ears’. I thought that was kind of interesting.

Fun Fact

Four years ago I played the carnival game where you throw the rings onto the coke bottles and I MADE ONE ON!! I was as shocked as anyone, but I got to take home a giant sizeD pillow pet which now serves as a bed for mi gat.
