Re-evaluation

So... it may be time to re-evaluation my position on this storm. I am currently on my second day with no class... and trees and power lines are still falling. Basically, the stuff MN is getting now ain't nuthin'. Really... ya'lls are going to have, what, like 6-10 inches of snow... we have like an inch of ice and then like at least the same amount of snow. So... yeah. Tons of people are without power. Thankfully, campus still has power and dining services is open. But, I won't be driving my car for a while.

Also being re-evaluated: life in general. For my Religion in American History class, I had to read an autobiography off a list (and then some other stuff that will eventually be a paper). I chose Daniel Berrigan's account: To Dwell in Peace. I finished it last night... because I don't have class today and therefore could read like half the book (OK, I finished at 1230.... but hey! I'll explain why). Conclusions: WOW! It is an amazing book... seriously. Go read it NOW! It's one of those books that changes what you thought you knew about... well a lot of stuff. I chose this book because in my J-term class, I had to read a chapter of it. And boy! was that a good choice! I know I read a lot of books... and constantly want more. But I might have to buy it for myself... and break my self imposed austerity measures. Honestly. It's fantastic. I'm not going to talk about what's in it... pretty sure you can google Berrigan and figure it out. But still, I knew it was going to be awesome, just not this awesome.

Anyway... re-evaluation under progress.

It's April!

So... it's April! YAY! But, as I write this, SF is currently in a winter storm warning--aka an ice storm that is now a snow storm and expected to last till Thursday... so April. But really. I'm actually not upset. We had a good run of nice weather and this isn't supposed to last. I'm really just amused. Everybody is complaining... come on! It's the MIDWEST! Seasons mean nothing here. It's also really pretty... well all the trees covered in ice, that is. Not so pretty: downed power lines and tree branches and the number of times I've heard sirens today.

This is one of the trees on campus at like 2:30... by 5 there was another large branch and a ton of other smaller branches... and snow. So yeah. Ice Storm.


But, other than the weather... life is not too interesting. In regards to the Overseas Scholarship: they received it but I won't hear back till like July. So woot! Not being able to do anything still. But I do have plenty of homework and I need to find a summer job in STC. Homework: so much reading... but I really like most of it so :) and I have a few projects/papers to still work on (like my German Honors Thesis--I've almost got my minimum page requirement!).

Basically: no news unless you think my homework and a storm is exciting news!
