Snowy End of January

This past weekend it snowed...oh boy did it snow. Saturday was the first big gust. The picture to the left was taken on Monday morning as I was leaving Sansbury for the gym. Isn't that such an awesome picture?! The little bird sitting inside the bush just completes its beauty. 

We were snowed into our buildings. Monday, it snowed again, this time resulting in a day and a half off from classes. 

Snow days can be fun.
Snow days mean pajamas all day and never having to leave bed.
It means reading books and drinking tea.
It also means more time to get started on homework assignments that you have been shirking aside and putting off for a week. 

For me, it meant indoor workouts, tea time and finally, finally unpacking from Christmas vacation. I have been here since January 8, and I had not unpacked my bags yet. I have just been so busy with Res Life stuff and classes. It's crazy how fast the pages fly off the calendar. 

My workout regimen this weekend was a very new one this snowy weekend. On Saturday, I did Pilates and I tested out my Julianne Hough's Cardio Ballroom Dancing dvd...I surrendered to exhausted legs and pain-filled thighs. On Monday, I used my kettle bell that my mom got me for Christmas. The lady on the workout dvd is a very tough cookie. She really pushes all your limits. I think that as long as I keep up with it, it will get better over time. My schedule is really crazy this semester so it's getting harder to actually get to the gym during the week. Some days I am just way too tired to go to the gym in between classes, even if the schedule says so. 

The good news for the week is that I got a 96 on my first criminal justice quiz and I survived my first Literary Theory paper, with the help of my good friend Emili, in the Writing Center. It was the toughest paper I have had to write and it was only 1000 words. What gives?!

I am going to stay on top of my work for the rest of the semester. I have so much to look forward to in the coming months. I don't want to ruin it. Tonight, I am working in the pub. I have piles of homework and about a million emails to send out.

Everyone should come down and make a fleece blanket at 8!
