merely talk

Sigh.

It's really freakin' cold out here in E-town. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to stand it. The lettuce Amy bought the other day, froze in the 3 block walk from our house and the Safeway. It's only partly edible now...which makes me really sad. The wind and blowing snow, and -28 degree weather is making it more and more difficult for me to stay motivated to walk to and from school. Even with my fancy new snow flake decorated long johns and all my knitted wares. I made the walk there today, but the wind on was gusting pretty intensely as I walked across the bridge. It blew my bag off my shoulder a few times, and almost knocked me over a few times. I consider myself to be quite sturdily built, so consider that quite the feat. I had to hold on to my touque, and I practically ran across. I took the bus home to avoid a similar situation.

Wrote part 1 of my one and only final today. I think it went quite well. I ended up writing a nice little essay I think...even though I did write it from the first person, so my inner Mr.Moxley (gr 12 English teacher, for those not in the know) was shaking his finger and growling at me. But it really did suit the subject matter, so I think I'm safe.

I'm currently printing off my two essays. They are done, thank the lord, and now I just need to prepare for part 2 of my one and only final. I write it on Wednesday at noon, and by one o'clock this crap semester will be finished. I'm planning on doing backflips down the hallway in bio-sci to celebrate.

I had a good, academically unproductive day yesterday. I went to church with Anick. I really wanted to go because it's advent. And I love church during advent. We get to sing Christmas carols, and everyone is so happy and joyful. There's less talk of our immediate doom and sins, and more happiness cause the big JC will be coming soon. It's good times. And I, once again, spent the majority of my time examining the ceiling of the church, and the stained glass windows, and their pretty stations of the cross pictures, and the gorgeous chandeliers. The Basilica looks like I think a church should look. Stony and gothic, with sweeping arches and weeping statues. It's awesome.

Afterward I had a marathon gab session with Anick and then headed to a charity stitch n' bitch. We were making hats and scarves for a women's shelter. It was lots of fun, and a lot more people showed up this time...making me a happy camper. I got Andrea to come, which was great because I hadn't see her for a very long time (totally mine and schools fault) and had the added bonus of Francis giving me a ride home.

It was all good. And now I'm counting the hours until I'm FREEEEEEE!!
