Snow

This morning I had to scrape ice off my windshield. To most people in the world this is probably a normal everyday winter thing. But for me, I can count the number of times I have had to do this on one hand. My wimpy self is not used to have to brave such cold.

Today the house was 51 when I woke up. I wore to school 3 shirts (one of them long sleeved), my warm school sweatshirt, leggings, yoga pants, and my trusty uggs. And I was still cold. When Im freezing I can't think about anything else. I've talked about it so much today that its annoying.

If it's going to be this cold, it might as well be snowing. At least then it would be pretty. My mom sent me pictures of my house covered in snow! This might not seem so special, but where I live it is.

I am currently sitting in my 65 degree house at my kitchen table listening to christmas music trying  to finish my same soci paper (I'm on page 4 out of 5!) and also watching E get her hair dyed by our good friends K & W.

Things are about to get a lot more crazy around here. I am literally resting on the very edge of the calm before the storm. I finalize my class schedule for next semester tomorrow, turn in my paper and attend the last of my MW classes. This weekend will be filled with equal parts fun and crazyness as B & I think about starting to move our stuff into a temporary storage unit. On top of this I need to start studying for FINALS. Joy.

Procrastination

This morning my house was 54 degrees. Just typing it makes me cold. This is the reason I hate getting up in the morning. Not because I'm tired, not because I don't want to face the day, just simply because 54 degrees is damn cold! As soon as I jump out of bed I layered on leggings, velour sweat pants, tall uggs, shirt, a warm hoodie, and a blanket and I was still cold. So my next idea is to make hot oatmeal and tea to warm my bones and it did, temporarily. After that my strategy becomes like a cat, to find the SUN. Only our living room gets direct sun and only during certain hours of the day. Although I was able to enjoy it a few minutes this morning before the sky turned to a grey overcast.

Today's goal: Sociology paper
List of things I did to avoid completing today's goal:

• getting warm (who can do homework when you're freezing?!)
• eating
  
• cleaning my room
• watching GLEE
• doing other homework
• more eating
  
• chatting with roomies
• watching Jersey Shore (new addiction)
• watching 2nd episode JS
• facebook
• this post
• taking random pictures of the catcus in our front yard.
• watching 1/2 an intervention with E
• going to safeway with B to get caramel corn supplies

As of now I have 1 page of my paper almost completed, due date is Wed so I still have time. I am still freezing head to toe but the weatherman says it may snow tomorrow.

Vaccuming & Chocolate

This morning we had an official roommate talk. The 3 of us were actually all home and available to converse, which lately doesn't seem to happen often. Over coffee(E), tea(Me), and hot chocolate(B) we were finally able to clear the air just in the nick of time to fully enjoy our last 2 weeks living together before the fall semester ends.

Saturday tends to be a cleaning day around here, a Saturday every once in a while that is. But today was special because I got to try out my brand new vacuum! It's a little bit of a sad day when you realize that all you really want for Christmas is a security deposit for an apartment and a vacuum! But at least it's a little sign that after all I am growing up and really in a college town a vacuum is a very precious thing to have. I tried it out and it works great, I am really enjoying actually having clean carpets! Oh the things you take for granted when living with parents.

I sat down to write my final sociology paper several times today but I just cant START it! I would rather clean the whole house then write a paper, blah. B and I were productive though and found a storage unit to store our stuff when we are going to be homeless for a week in the beginning of January. Oh the joys of moving, and we also can rent a dolly for only $10! Now we just need some boys to help us.


As soon as I sat down again to do my paper B comes marching in with a strong chocolate craving but no idea what would satisfy her. What a dilemma! We finally settled on some funfetti brownies we had got at Safeway on sale for a $1! Too bad though that the funfetti actually ended up all over the living room floor. Luckily I had just vacuumed 2 hours prior so we figured it would be sanitary to use them anyway. If this is my first and last post, I will have died by poison brownies.
