Springtime?

Wow.
I cannot believe that it is March already. ALREADY! It's incredible how fast things are going!!

Life has been going fairly well. It is gloriously sunny out, but viciously cold. Thanks, Mother Nature, thanks. I am SO looking forward to spring break, however. I get to see my family for a few days, but then I head to St. Louis!! Where it will be warm. Well, warm by my standards for right now--50s and 60s. Woot woot! So excited.

I have found myself wanting to go to St. Louis. Which is odd, I feel. Odd in that I've never just wanted to go--I usually just want to go because Zach will be there. But for the first time I want to go to St. Louis for the city and the nostalgia of last year, and to have that early taste of spring. I'm going to have flashbacks like crazy when I go, I just know it. It will be fun though. Hopefully he has something fun planned for us...

Over break I have a lot to do, however, in the days that we're in Tosa...I need to find lots of job apps!! I have a huge list of places we're going to go, and I guess if I have my dentist appointment that morning I'll have minty fresh teeth to talk to potential future employers! Good plan, I feel.

I had a good talk with Patrick this afternoon; we hung out briefly after Astronomy. He went to the Starbucks with me and we chatted for a wee bit, which was wonderful, really. He can really ground me sometimes, and bring another opinion I never really consider sometimes. His no-nonsense, let's-not-beat-around-the-bushes style smacks reality into my conscious every now and again. Refreshing! Very unlike the coffee, and sorry Starbucks to knock on you again....but...

In the ranking order of the worst experiences with coffee one will have, it is this, 1 being the worst:
3. Starbucks coffee.
2. Weak-brewed coffee.
1. Weak-brewed, Starbucks coffee.

Yup, while the conversation with Patty-cakes was a nice pick-me-up, the old fashioned cup of joe was not :-( . Sad day. I'll have to remedy that in my room tonight with my faithful coffee press...

I have little 90-calorie rice pudding snacks in my room right now, and they're rather good. I just wish now that I had picked up raisins or fresh fruit in my last grocery pick-up...all in all, a fun treat.

Checking out thunderfap.com again...some more fun freebies....hmmm...

SNOW!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!


IT SNOWED! AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE! I am so happy for this first snow of the year. I was a bad person and stayed up ueber late last night (coffee at 10 is a bad idea, fyi) but I got to experience the first snow of the year just as it happened! It was light, fluffy snow, and now the campus is frosted with it ^_^. Love it.


Sorry I'm so excited about that. I just love when snow clings to the branches and rooftops...I am perhaps a little to pumped for Christmas much?


I am, however. My roomie and I have been discussing decorating the room with lights and such for the holidays. We're thinking about using blue and white for two purposes--1, it is winter friendly so we won't have to live in Christmas land all of the year, and 2--those are our sorority colors! So score for us.


This weekend ROCKED. It was formal!! And yes, while getting ready was a little hectic and stressy, we all looked fabulous. Plus, Zach was able to be there on time!!! We were worried for a bit because he had a swim meet, but he was there, ready and handsome :). I will have pictures of us up soon, but for now I have a couple of me and some sisters!here is me and Missy, my wonderful big!Here is Amanda H. (neighbor, not roomie--so confusing!) and Courtney. I'm in the middle--it is alphabetical--Hassen, Heinrich, Hollander, hence the "Ha-He-Ho Train." I look a tad bit lost...
Meh! It was very fun. I will find better, more flattering pictures (haha) soon. For now, this is all I have! Dinner and dancing at Robbin's Restaurant in Oshkosh was very fun. Loved it!

Sunday was a quiet day for me. Lots of resting and homework.

Speaking of--I gotta get going on more assignments and such. Oh...and food! Dinner sounds delish....
