May

My life has this weird habit of following a prescribed pattern, a pattern based on months. January I'm always fidgety and bored. February I'm sleepy and in hibernation. March is the month I inevitably injure myself (broken toes,  loss of an unimportant organ, sprained wrist, torn muscle, broken tail bone, ruining my back.... respectively). April is the month I get sick in response to the previous injury  (swine flue, multiple colds, and this year stomach flue.)

But May.... May...

May is adventure month, I'm not sure if it's due to the past 2 months of pain and illness and subsequent inactivity. Or maybe it's the fact that the spring energy that is so hard at work outside affects me too. But I have infinite energy, backed by so many plans and hopes and dreams. And this wild side of me peeks out. I don't want to just do normal things like plant a truck patch, or conquer half a year of college in a month, or win a nearly impossible writing contest. I also want to adventure, to be crazy, do the totally unexpected. 

May is the month for plans and schedules, and breaking the schedules and having weird contests and running half way across the state for a coke slushies. Just because I have energy and I'm young and I can. May is the month I decide to change styles and I become a hipster, or go boho, for a few weeks. 

I am dangerous in May, but I'm also inspired. Every minute of the day is important in May, I write constantly, I study, I plan, and I play. 

So, plans for this year thanks to the May madness?
