Surprises

Life is full of surprises. I know that. Here are some things that have happened lately that should surprise me, but don't...

• My grandparents and almost my entire family forgetting my birthday. Should this surprise me? Maybe. I AM family. However, it doesn't.
  
• A blizzard in march in Ohio. Surprising? I'd like to think spring is right around the corner, but it's Ohio. So I expect snow could be here tomorrow. And by the following day be 60 degrees out.

Things that DO surprise me, but shouldn't...

• The friendly hello from the mailman I received as I was outside shoveling the driveway. People aren't very friendly these days. I was surprised, but it seems like this should be expected behavior.
• The friendships I've built at the Flyer News. Certain people there have added an interesting spin to my life. I wasn't so sure I'd make friends at UD, so this is surprising.
• I'm graduating in less than three months. I've known the date of my graduation for a year, but this still seems all so sudden!
