SnOw DaY!

I got my snow!

We got about 3 inches Friday night. It was pretty much the highlight of the year, so far. Matt & I were running around like 2 giddy kids on Christmas morning. He hasn't seen snow since he was in kindergarten (20 years ago!) so we, of course, had to do all of the conventional things one does in the snow:

Have a snowball fight... check

Walk around & listen to the "crunch" noise it makes... double check

Make a snowman.. check

Make a snow angel... check

Take massive amounts of pictures... check

My South Georgia dogs took to the snow immediately. They had a blast playing in it all night & then again this morning. I got a few videos of them that are pretty funny. Macy & Abby wanted to eat it & Norman got pretty good at catching snowballs in his mouth. Fancy got a chance to play, too, but just for a little bit since she has been sick & is finally starting to feel better. She preferred to walk around with a snowball in her mouth.

It was still on the ground Saturday morning, but it melted about as fast as it came the night before.

All & all, it was pretty much amazing. Snow is magical. I hope it doesn't wait another 20 years to show itself again.

All work & no play makes Michelle a dull girl...

It seems like all I have been doing lately is school work. It's like I can't get ahead. I work & study & lose sleep only to go to class the next day & have even more loaded up on my plate. Why can't professors realize that their class is not the only one their students are taking? (136 power point slides for one chapter? Is that really necessary?) It's almost ridiculous. I feel like I am being spread to thin & there aren't enough hours in the day for all of the reading, studying, typing up lab reports, collecting bugs for my entomology collection, homework, flash-card making... & still getting enough sleep to function. The only thing that keeps me reading, studying, typing, etc. is knowing that there are only...

21 class days until Spring Break!!!

I don't care if we don't even go anywhere for the break. Not having to go to class is enough of a break for me!

In other news, the weatherman apparently thinks we have a chance of snow tomorrow afternoon... 2 to 4 inches, to be precise. The last time it snowed here I was 3, so I'm a little doubtful. I wouldn't mind a light dusting, though. I would love to take a few pictures of my dogs playing in the snow (something they have never seen).

I wouldn't really mind being stuck at the house all day, either. I have plenty to do here, including cleaning, laundry, school work, studying, cooking dinner.... the list goes on & on. We will see how it turns out... maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
