To all of my dear friends,
I wish you a very Merry Christmas for you and your loved ones!

A mistake

So, I am not smart.
That's all there is to that. I could blame the beer that I consumed last night, but really it's my overwhelming desire to hunt that did it. Not only hunt, but hunt in snow. Snow and hunting can be amazing. But Rusty not realizing exactly how bad blowing snow is...can be bad.
Jyo, didn't show up at 7:30 and I was about to crawl back in bed when my phone rang.
Him: "Do you want to still go out?"
Me: "It makes me no nevermind, if you want to, we can, if not, not a big deal."
Him: "Ok, I'm in the driveway."
Me: (Laughing) "Aight. I'll be out."

Now in town, it wasn't that bad. But we got to the field, and Hurricane Winter had struck. The wind nearly tore the door off the hinges. It wasn't snowing until we took our first few steps. Then it was blowing snow in a 38 mph wind. We walked a quick half mile and Justin said "That was a bad idea."
"Yes it was. I'll accept blame for it. It's my fault this time." Safe to say, Justin agreed. Easy agreement as the wind and snow had us pretty coated in white by the time we got back to the truck.
Maybe tomorrow morning would be better.....

And i'm done

With school. For 2007 that is.
All I've got remaining is 21 itty bitty hours. Of course when that's finished, I'll be back to the real world with some goals; a career, a puppy, sweeping someone off her feet and marrying her, you know..the normal kind of stuff.

I did have to email WSU yesterday after the parking fiasco. At least when the Rolling Stones came into town, we were warned in advance of the horrible parking situation. Yesterday, we weren't warned as they were bussing in 9000 elementary school kids. That bussing killed off the majority of the parking on campus. Herein lies the problem. First of all, I understand the event was supposedly scheduled for the week after finals. Due to the ice storm that wasn't, last Tuesday's finals were cancelled. They postponed the the finals for a week. OK, I get it. However, there is a campus wide email system that you can send a message with the click of a button. A message such as "Lack of parking notification" would have been helpful in knowing that the normal spots where I park, were going to be cut off.

Seriously, they did a study. On Mondays through Thursdays, there are on the average 7000 vehicles on campus. That number drops to 1700 on Fridays. By cutting off the parking lots, you've taken well over half the parking spots. Bastards. I have yet to hear back from WSU.

In other news, I be finito with my xmas shopping. Life is good.

It has

Seems to be have been a while since i've posted.
Life is hectic busy thanks to finals and things along that nature. I'm almost done with the semester which i can only say "THANK GOD."
Random thoughts from the past couple of weeks

* If I ever decide to do a paper on a topic that I deem "outside the proverbial box" I need someone to shoot me in the head. Seriously, blow my brains all over a wall. I had to write a 10 page paper on an environmental concern. So, thinking outside the box, I decided to write on zebra mussels. Kill me. Granted I know all about zebra mussels now, but there's no room in my feeble little head for any more information so my brain is full.

* Is it a prequisite for all of the people who administer the class evaluations, to not speak English? Habib is barely understandable in the directions, even though we've gone over them every time in class. Are they worried that they might get deported if they don't read the directions? We know how to fill out the bubbles. It's easy.

* I'm almost done with my christmas shopping. The problem being my aunt, whose name I drew while at Beaver in August. She wants silver jewelry. Normally, I don't have a problem picking things like that out..but I'm struggling this time. She's got other stuff on her list, but she's tough. Usually, I'm real good about picking things out for people, because I can get a bit creative.

* Really, how hard is it to drive when it's slick out? Just pay attention to the roads and quit going so fast. I counted 7 vehicles in ditches, missing parts of bumpers and one really bad wreck on my way to school yesterday. Yo, people, they issue advisories/warnings for this. I'm not worried about my driving, even if I managed to do a 180 yesterday. It's the other people that scare the hell out of me. Especially, the woman in the van trying to turn left onto the on-ramp before me..except that I was turning right and had the right-of-way. Sweetbabyjesuswithacowlick.

* Mother nature can kiss my ass!
