blizzard, 51 degrees today, 4 day weekend!
February 15, 2006
This week we had a huge blizzard where we got like a foot and a half of snow!! It was crazy! I love snow and it was a pretty snowfall, but there was soooo much snow! But then today it is 51 degrees!!!! So a lot of the snow has already melted, and is continuing to melt, but it is also supposed to get colder in the week, so we'll see what will happen. I have learned that New England weather is very unpredictable and ever changing!
Then this weekend we have a 4 day weekend! Yay!! I'm very excited because I am going to Maine with my roommate because that is where she is from, and I've never been to Maine, so I'm excited to see somewhere new. Hopefully the weather won't be too bad there, it is supposed to rain and be kind of cold, but we'll see. And I think we're going to go shopping at their outlet malls, and then the best part is we're going to have lobster for dinner! Lobster is one of my favorite foods and most lobsters come from Maine so you can get them really cheap there, so we're having that for dinner one night and I'm very excited about it! And then I'm also going to go to my grandparent's house for a couple days and relax there and eat some more good food! But I'll have to study a lot this weekend unfortunately because I have a big Anatomy and Physiology test next week so it won't be a complete vacation!
And my Anatomy Lab practical was pretty good, the slides of different tissues that you had to identify were really hard, so I'm not sure how well I did on that, but the rest of the bones and everything I knew pretty well so we'll see how I did.
Valentine's Day was yesterday. Nothing exciting for me really, it didn't feel like a special day, but I got some valentines from a lot of people on our dorm floor so that was fun! And for the Sex at Simmons peer-education program that I'm involved in we handed out condom roses that we made to people in the main college building, so that was cool, I think people liked them.
And the Olympics are going on right now! I love the Olympics, they are one of my favorite things, so I am trying to watch as much as I can. It's really hard to watch television when you are in college because you are so busy with everything else, but some nights my roommate and I will watch it before we go to bed, and I've been keeping track of when certain events are, so when figure skating is on I'm going to watch that because that is my favorite event. But it's hard not being able to watch all of it!
Also, the Simmons Soiree dance was a lot of fun. The transportation part kind of sucked because they had these 2 limo buses taking you to the hotel, but they only came every 25 minutes cause they had to drive all the way here and then all the way to the hotel and then all the way back, and then they could only fit like 25 people on the limo, so we waited for almost an hour just to get on the bus to take us there, but a lot of people, including people from our group, ended up taking cabs there because they would have had to wait even longer and miss a big part of the dance. So that was bad cause the cabs cost like $20, and they already paid $20 to go to the dance. And then at the end of the night everyone was trying to leave at the same time and the wait was even longer, so my date and I ended up taking the T home! It was an adventure walking about 10 minutes from the hotel to the closest T stop in heels after dancing in them all night, but it wasn't too bad. I still had a really fun time, and the masquerade masks we got were soooo cute!! There's a picture below :)
Well I should go and start some homework before I go to the chiropractor! I'll write next week and tell you all about my weekend in Maine etc... Have a great weekend everyone! Until then...xoxo Hannah :)
