Hello spring!!

Looking at all the flowers blooming just makes me happy. Spring has got to be the prettiest season! First signs of spring

I can't wait for the Jacarandas to bloom! But that would also mean finals are coming :(

Here's something I found from Wikipedia:

"The city of Brisbane in Australia has a local reputation of having a significant population of Jacaranda trees. The University of Queensland in the city's inner west has a very high concentration of the tree, and due to the impressive display of purple flowers in mid-Spring, which wind up littering vast sections of the suburbs, local folklore claims that "one won't start studying for exams until the jacarandas have molted". This has led to the slang name "exam tree" being attached to the plant. At the University of Queensland students even maintain a joke superstition that if a Jacaranda bloom falls on their head during exam time, they will fail an exam. The bad luck can be broken by catching another bloom before it hits the ground."

I'll make sure I take a picture of myself with those purple Jacarandas!
