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.
