Snow day
- by Brittney
Who called classes being cancelled today? THIS GUY. You can hire me out as a psychic if you want. Even though the rest of campus got to sleep in til their hearts content, I woke up before the sun and went to work. Sigh the shameless things I do for money. About halfway through the day though I said Eff This and blazed my way through the BLIZZARD to 713 because NPH and I have papers due as well as co-dependency issues. Needless to say, not much headway has been done on my article due tomorrow.
The antibiotics have kicked in and BOY HOWDY do I feel 100% better. After work yesterday I went holiday baking cr-AZ-y and whipped up some peanut butter balls, frosted sugar cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels to give to some of my favorite locals/ those I owed favors to (for those of you getting all pissed because you were given the shaft: cool your jets– T-Bone’s shipped over a box of brownie mix, sprinkles, etc. and you will be recipients of Holiday Baking Extravaganza Round II.)
Apparently there is a university-wide snowball fight happening at the Pentacrest right now. Over 3,000 people have RSVPed on Facebook (even though they just sent an update that the snow is terrible for packing.) Lo siento, but this kind of shit really does not trip my trigger. First of all: IT’S COLD AS BALLS OUTSIDE. Secondly, I don’t like my peers near enough to meet them en mass and talk about “Ohemgeebestsnowdayever!!!” We had two our freshman year, I’m over it. If anything, I really wish we had school today because the ONE PRESENTATION we were being graded on the ENTIRE SEMESTER in one of my classes was supposed to be today. So… not really sure where we’re going from here. I do know that exactly 24 hours from now, my semester is over save one final next Wednesday morning.
Melanie my language buddy responded to some of my questions I had about Luneburg. To my GREAT PLEASURE she informed that it rains most nearly every day there. Awesome. At least I’ll save room in my suitcase not bringing any hair products/appliances. She also thankfully told me that every student at Leuphana University speaks English– they’re not allowed admission if they don’t. So while I plan on being quite fluent in German when I leave, at least there won’t be a complete language barrier when I arrive.
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is on in half an hour– a greater gift from God than any snow day could ever be.
