monsoon season

friday? well, sort of.

let's start off by describing yesterday morning. it was disgusting. not like, oh there is some rain disgusting.. we're talking full blown monsoon, turn your pants a different color, soak your raincoat, all the way through your backpack/art history book, mash your notecards together and make the ink bleed kind of rain. not only did i have the pleasure of experiencing this while carefully dodging worms that were being sucked into the drains but i remained wet from 9 am when i showed up for work ALL the way until my class ended at 5 (my jeans were just damp then) disgusting i tell you. my backpack is still wet and i had to find an alternative way to tote my nonsense to class today.

moving on.

art history midterm was yesterday. i went to work an hour early so that i could leave an hour early to review before the test. that lovely rain had mushed the notecards i spent like 3 hours finishing together so that was really no help. but i think the test went alright regardless.

last night i was watching harry potter thinking about how much i would love for my 8 am class to be cancelled and what do you know, a little notification pops up on my computer from my email saying "class cancelled tomorrow"! what are the chances. i'll have you know that i fully enjoyed my extra 2.5 hours of sleep and waking up at 8:30. fantastic.

worked for 2 hours this morning and i'm currently sitting in the ritz after my ice skating class waiting for imagery in design to start. then its the weekend! sort of kind of. i have so much work to finish this weekend between political science, the 3 page paper i need to write for graphic novel class, the 2 graphic novels i need to read, poster designs, imagery projects, a 3 page spread for a story and i believe that's it. i hope. there are also 2 hockey games this weekend, possible work tomorrow, a tailgating party before the games at Lovin Cup, halloween shenanigans on saturday, grocery shopping to do, and the list goes on.

next week is week NINE. WHAT?! how in the world did that happen. finals are soon. bad news bears.

rain, rain go away

dear rain,

please do not continue through this weekend, i do not enjoy being a drowned rat and almost falling flat on my face because bricks & water are a bad combination. i also do not enjoy walking through large mud puddles or having super frizzy hair. large hail, thunderstorms and high winds are not a good alternative either. 

are we clear? good, kay thanks.

sincerely,

me

in other news, alisons coming this weekend! yay i can't wait. nothing in particular planned, just a whole lot of hanging out! 

work continues to take up the majority of my life. working from 8 until 4:30 everyday. lots and lots of inputting names, im going to develop carpal tunnel from all of this nonsense. it's okay though because i take enough breaks when all of the other people in my department are hitting each other with nerf guns and running around. also, i'm no longer eating lunch by myself! hooray for friends. 

i'm thinking of going to bed soon. it's 8:30. is that too obnoxiously early? i don't think so. 

rain means worms

spring quarter is off to a ridiculously good start. of course, it is day one at 3:30 pm and i've only had 1 hour of class and 4 hours of work so far. but regardless. work was a good four hours of stuffing envelopes which --no joke-- is my favorite thing to do there ever. met a new admissions ambassador who, as it turns out, is dating the starting goalie of the hockey team so i got to talk about hockey for two hours with someone who doesn't think i'm insane! 

it's good to be back and see everyone. the tunnels were full last night of people meeting up for the first time since break. got settled back in, did a load of laundry, got some dinner stuffs. our dorm room feels surprisingly bigger than usual which is odd because ashley and i were sleeping in the basement which is ginormous. i guess that is a good thing though.

despite the weather button on my dashboard saying that it's 34 degrees, it feels really warm out and all i needed today was a fleece jacket. it is disgustingly smooshy outside though from all of the rain. 

just waiting for ashley to get out of class now so we can go buy books for this quarter. the only homework tonight is to read 2 chapters in the psych book! 

all good things come to an end

just got back to rochester from a weeklong spring break at home! ashley was able to come home with me too so I got to show her all of the exciting things to see in maryland and dc. ironically the day we flew home from rochester was the beginning of the biggest snowstorm maryland has had in three years (only 6 inches of snow) but still funny-- or annoying. eventually it warmed up and we were able to have 75 degree weather today!! too bad when we landed in rochester today it was 38 degrees, foggy and rainy. oh well. 

this week included: two separate trips to chipotle, a Caps game at the verizon center with Amanda!, a day full of wandering around DC, a second trip to DC with dad, seeing jimmy (Alison's new adorable dog), visiting with Barb, Joe and Eric this weekend, mini golf and batting cages yesterday, Sarah's volleyball tournament this morning and other various fun things.

tomorrow is the first day of spring quarter which means... new classes! i actually only have one class tomorrow so it shouldn't be too bad. class 9-12, work 12-4. 

Rant Session Needed

There are some days when complaining is just necessary. This is one of those days. 

It's a rainy, yucky 50 something degree day here in Rochester. It's week 5 which is exactly halfway through the quarter which means lotsss of projects and such to complete. I'm also in the middle of a cold complete with sore throat, runny nose and feeling hot/cold. It's wonderful. Today was one of my two long days; classes from noon until 9 pm with two breaks at 1 and 5. Except today my 2 pm class ran over so I didn't end up getting out until 10 minutes before my 6 pm class leaving no time for any dinner other than one of those applesauce cups. So, basically I was in class from 2pm until 9 pm straight. Got out at 9 and then went and got myself a smoothie (yumm, good suggestion mom!). Waiting around until a floor meeting at 10:30 to discuss how the heck our bathrooms are getting so messy and full of junk that.

Now, I should probably end this and go get my laundry out of the washer before someone steals it or spills it all over the floor.
