a scone-less st. patty's day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

hope you remembered to wear green so you didn't get pinched :) 

in honor of this day, i'll use entirely green writing. i hope that's not a problem. it's ridiculously warm out today-- it got up to 60 i believe. amanda and i were walking from philosophy to drawing around 2 pm and just grinning from ear to ear. we never realized how wonderful warm sunny weather is, i think the winter makes you appreciate it so much more. i even saw some flowers sprouting today! of course, i did spend most of my time in windowless classrooms but my walk to and from them was so nice! unfortunately they are calling for snow on thursday, we'll see. hopefully not, i think i could get used to this nice weather. 

as for this weekend, i'm headed down to DC for an accepted students panel at a hotel in bethesda i think? i was asked a month or two ago if i'd join two counselors as well as two other ambassadors to go down and speak to a group of accepted students. i don't remember if i talked about this in my blog before or not. but it's something that i went to last march when i was still deciding on a school. it gives people a chance to hear about college life directly from us without even coming to campus. we're driving down at 12:30 on Friday (after class 9-12) and then driving back saturday night. originally i was planning on just going home for saturday night through monday night but with current ticket prices and my homework load i dont think that i'm going to make it home at all :\ i'm kind of bummed, but it'll only be 10 more weeks and then i'll be home for the summer. i just have a giant drawing (30 by 40 inches) due on Tuesday as well as a few other projects and it's kind of hard to travel with those. I think it'll be easier on all ends to just skip it. i really wish i could though! :( basically i'm missing BOTH hockey games and seeing family this weekend. bummmerrr. oh well, that's life. gotta make choices sometimes. 

HOCKEY!

we made the RIT athletics homepage! 

TIGERS BEAT HOLY CROSS IN THREE GAMES! 

I love hockey.

the end. 

ps: in other things, i never knew how many people went to this school. guess 58 degree weather will bring everyone out! 

9:16

so it's 9:16 on sunday morning... i've finished two loads of laundry, taken a shower, gotten dressed, and finished my psych reading/homework for the week. now I have to wait two more hours for everyone else to get up so we can go eat some breakfast :P

hockey last night was freaking awesome. they won 6-4 and played so much better than friday night (when they lost 3-5). unfortunately (well, fortunately for me) they have to play another game tonight and they MUST win or else they're out. three hockey games in one weekend! 

big box

there is ridiculously loud, obnoxious music playing in the room next door... and has been playing for a good two hours. it's kind of annoying but i've managed to tune it out.

finished up with classes for the week today, i'm kind of exhausted. not exhausted enough to miss the HOCKEY game though :)

survival

i survived my long day! i had exactly 11.5 hours of classes today. 8-11, 12-2, 2-5 and 6-9:30 <--- the last one got out 20 minutes early! 

i am, however, ridiculously exhausted so i just took a toasty shower, got in pjs and after i finish this blog i'm off to sleep.  

tomorrow is class from 9-12, work until 2:30, then HOCKEY GAME! it's the quarterfinals so it's best of three (hopefully they'll win both Friday and Saturday). saturday i'm interviewing from 8 am until 12:30 for an OA (orientation assistant) position for next fall so i hope that goes well. after that is homework and hockey game number two! sunday's forecast looks like homework, homework, homework. 

oh yeah, and i made it through the day with NO COFFEE. 

cupcakes

happy birthday, dad! 

love, skeeter 

my cousin's famous!

dear eric,

you're awesome.

love, a proud sleech

read it and weep.

so, i thought i liked note taking... 

turns out i don't. 

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.

mini golfing

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.
