Heavy Snow Warning in effect!

There is a Heavy Snow Warning in effect pretty much all day tomorrow. The National Weather Service says that “heavy snow during the mid-afternoon will result in 4 to 6 inches, and total accumulations are expected to range from 8 to 10 inches by the time the storm ends.” Woo! Too bad I don’t have [...]

Encased in a thin sheet of ice

The world outside my window is encased in a thin sheet of ice. Inch-long icicles are hanging from all the power lines, and tinier icicles are clinging to the bottom of just about everything else. The sidewalk is a sheet of ice floating on top of a thin layer of water. It’s incredibly hard to [...]

Today’s walk to class

Long, curly hair + 10-minute walk in downpour = ability to shake head and pretend I’m a shaggy, wet dog.

The obligatory status-of-my-life entry

Meh. Not much has been happening lately. I skipped Latin this morning, which was bad. But I was so sleepy! I still had yet to fully recover from the all-nighter I had pulled the night before, which in the end was pretty pointless, because the paper I wrote on-and-off during that night spent awake didn’t [...]

A mountain of vocabulary!

I just made a 1-5/8-inches-tall stack of flash cards for Latin. I’d estimate that’s about 175 cards. And that’s only the verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. I still have pronouns, nouns, adjectives, and idioms to go. But that’s a task for another night. I shouldn’t have run the 3.7 miles that I ran on [...]

Update without a cause

I don’t have much to blog about. Well, I mean, I do; but I’m far too tired to do it. I just wanted to post something here so people knew I’m not dead, or something. … Actually, that’s a pretty stupid reason to post. You all know I’m not dead; there are other ways of [...]

A quick update

I’m considering dropping a class. It’s raining outside and it sounds so foreign, since we haven’t had rain in quite a while. I like it. And things overall are pretty good.

An addendum to the day’s negativity

It’s 67º outside in the middle of a late-September night. The crickets are out. And it’s going to be 90º today. Weird, but delightful. And I think my mood is progressing toward that same state, as well. Slowly, but surely, it’ll be delightful again. Interesting phone conversation tonight with Erica and her housemate Renee, by [...]

Lots of downpours, and a useless trip into town

I got up this morning, as usual, brushed my teeth and got in the shower (after scratching all the excess skin flakes off my back, shoulders, and arms—I’m peeling again). Got my things together and headed off to work, as usual. I made pretty good time on the highway and enjoyed singing along to the [...]

Sunday, on my own

My brother took off at a little past 5:00 this morning, and I was up for a few hours after that. But then I fell back asleep, and woke up at 9:30, though I had work at 10:00. I basically threw some water in my hair, put my clothes on, brushed my teeth, and raced [...]
