Before the dawn of April, in which we would usually expect short-tastic weather, Mother Nature decided to give us the gift of a final snowfall-- not a gift many Penn State students appreciated. Well, let's hope that was the last one. I'm ready for my April SHOWERS. My umbrella has never been more ready. Though many of us may be more than sick of this cold and unpredictable, not to mention hostile, mountain weather, we need to smile because we have beautiful weather coming! Maybe just not as soon as we had hoped.
Perhaps Mother Nature is trying to teach us patience, or maybe she is punishing us for not working as hard as we should be. On a sunny spring day when we can just smell spring in the air, we feel happy, almost rewarded. Maybe Mother Nature was telling us with that last snow that we have nothing to be rewarded for-- yet. When that day finally comes, when we can smell spring in the air and feel so intoxicatingly happy that we just can't wipe that ridiculous smile off of our faces, we will feel the ultimate reward and know that we deserve it. Mother Nature smiles on us when she changes our mood. This season, she will smile on us by giving us sunshine, spring showers, and warmer days. But next fall, we're going to be longing for our first snowfall. She will smile on us, then, too. Mother Nature's smile is the ultimate reward. Does this signal successful use of rhetoric? I leave it up to you.
I've been in places where snow comes until early June. Personally, I hate rain. I would rather it be cold and snowy then rain. When it's raining, my hair poofs up and I hate feeling wet. I am ready for the April, minus the showers.
