What Would You Expect?

Pullman has been waking up to new snow most every morning for the last week and a half or so.  So far, Tuesdays have been the worst days.  The conditions have been blizzard like! Below is a view that I got to see out my window one morning.  I must say, kind of pretty!

Tuesday this last week was extra nasty.  It was a blizzard all day.  At five in the morning, I had to brush two inches off my car windows.  Six hours later I had to brush four plus inches off my car windows.  The snow was really coming down!  It was also very icy-I partially slid through an intersection on my way back from work.  Scary but not as scary as the angry bus driver who thought she should use inappropriate sign language at me!  Oh well, no one was hurt and that is what is most important in situations like that.

So here is what I have been leading up to.  Tuesday evening my one professor e-mailed my class to ask if we would like class cancelled because of the winter weather advisory that was in effect.  So what would you expect a bunch of college students to say to a question regarding cancelling class?  I'm certain he knew what the answer would be.  After he tallied our votes, he e-mailed the class to announce that class would be cancelled today (Wednesday).  Big surprise, but yeah!  Thursday night the class gets to vote on whether or not we want class cancelled Friday.  I think we all know what that answer will be...YES, cancel class!

Six Weeks-Wow!

The longest my parents and I have gone without seeing each other.  Crazy!  My college life with school, work, and socializing has kept me busy.  I'm going home this afternoon and it'll be the first time I've been home this semester.  It'll also be the first time I've seen my parents since winter break ended.  I've seen only Erin this semester and that was three weeks ago.  I'm used to seeing my family more because in the fall they come to all of WSU's home football games, which are every couple weekends.  So it's been a long time since I've spent time with my family!

Yes, I have missed my mom and dad, but I've been alright.  I've been strong and have only started to long to see them in the last 10 days.  Because I can't believe that it has been six weeks since I saw them, I am taking it as a sign that I am growing up and very comfortable with my life in Pullman.  This is a good and bad thing I suppose.  Don't get me wrong, though, I love my parents and don't know what I would do without them.  I just can't believe it's been six weeks!  It sure doesn't feel like it!  I just counted the weeks this morning and was surprised at how much time had passed.

I'll head home for the three day weekend in a few hours.  It's going to be so nice to see mom, dad, and Erin.  I'm also looking forward to seeing our pets, especially, Daisy and Buzz.  It's going to be a great weekend filled with good memories!  We are planning to eat out, do some shopping, and attend a hockey game.  It's going to be great and I am going to enjoy every second of it!

Valentine's Day

Today, I went out for my first Valentine's dinner date ever!  Side note:  I've had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day, but no dinner date has ever happened and not gift has ever been given to me.  So today was a first, special, and fun night for me.  It was made possible by beautiful Jordyn and pretty Amy, two girls who I am friends with in my dorm.  I'm so glad they planned this dinner date and invited me to join them.  It sure beat studying organic chemistry.  We went out for a single girls dinner date together, and enjoyed ourselves.  We got all dressed up and it was fun.  I even ordered a new dress just to make the occasion even more special.  We went out for Mexican food at the best place here in Pullman, had virgin strawberry daiquiris, and finished off the date with fired ice cream!!  YUMMY and FUN is all I can say!

Why we are all single-I'm not sure.  We are all so cute, kind, and smart.

Me, Jordyn, and Amy sipping our drinks. :)

Happy Valentine's Day to my wonderful friends and family!  A special thanks to Amy and Jordyn for inviting me to single girls dinner.  It was the best Valentine's Day I have had to date.  Cheers!
