i remember, growing up, being taught that there were four seasons in the year, equally dividing the 12 months. this, aside from the fact that pluto is not a planet, is the biggest falsehood that elementary school science classes could perpetrate. (i won't even get started on history classes, which are entirely propaganda). it has been a very sad realization of adulthood to me that in truth winter and summer rule the roost, and spring and autumn are just transient phases. Really, winter is from November-March, making it 5 months long. Summer is from May-September, also making it 5 months. What does that leave for spring and autumn? Spring gets April, and autumn gets October. What's the point of even naming them? Sorry, I guess I'm just pissed off that it will barely crack 50 degrees through the end of March.

I think that we've just developed inaccurate ideas of what the seasons should be like. And we hate on spring and fall because they have more variance than winter and summer. But really, 50 degrees, trees are starting to get some leafies, crocuses are coming out? Is that your definition of winter? SPRING IS HERE! Just not the nice part of spring yet.
