Cold, rainy, but not a bad day

Hey all,
So I was going to get up at 7 today just to make sure I had time to talk to the roommies before I went to class, and didn't have to rush around, but, of course, I didn't get up then. Usually I would, but yesterday was a long day, and this weekend is gong to be even longer, so I slept till 8 ish. I got up, got everything ready including giving Bilko his breakfast with the half pill in it, and was out the door at 9:05 and off to the stop to wait for the van for the complex I live in to take me (and like 14 other people at that point in the morning) to school. It was REALLY REALLY cold and rainy today! Bilko, being the weird water-hating lab he is, didn't want to walk through any water, but I made him, getting my shoes soaked in the process. After Standing in the rain and cold for about 15 minutes, I checked my email on my phone, and behold! An email from my professor of my 9:30 class saying class for today was canceled! "Sweet! I'm going home!" I said to nobody inparticular, "my class was canceled!" I then rushed off back to my apartment.

Sara and I decided that, since I didn't have class until 11:30 and she didn't until 2, we would go grocery shopping. Well, we couldn't find the money bag with the combined money we put in every month so we are contributing evenly to the fund. We ended up paying with our own money, flipping out because we couldn't find it, and going to McDonalds for breakfast. I just had a hash brown. We baught a ton of groceries though, and so I was excited to have good food again!
I got my content lit exam back and got an 86%! I was excited, but at first, the way my professor was talking, I was afraid I failed it.I couldn't read the chart for one of the questions, and I completely forgot to ask her about it since I was so afraid of getting everything else answered. I made it though because she let me answer it with her in her office today. I love my teacher!

I got pinkberry (it's a frozen Yogurt place I'd never heard of util we got one on campus this year), with my friend Alisa. She had meal plan, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. I got chocolate and peanut butter swirl with strawberries and and roasted almonds. It was good,,but expensive. like $5 for a small.

When I came home, Mike was making Lasagna. Yum, yum! I took a break from writing this to eat it, and had two big pieces.

Now off to do do my reading folder for next week.

Winter storm warning (last week)

Woulda posted this earlier but forgot...

From February 1, 2011
Snow snow go away... or increase a ton so classes are canceled!
Today SUCKS so far! I got up and made a beggal, but it was so hard I couldn't cut it so had my roommate do it. Then it was rock hard to eat as well. Not cool! I had music education today at 8:30 am, so since Sara and Mike were going anyway to drop Sara off at her placement, so I got a ride with them. Mike dropped me off by this intersection near the building, but it was in the parking lott and I got confused as to where the building was. Also, I forgot my gloves in Mikes car. My friend let me borrow hers since I had to use my hands to work Bilko, then Mike brought them into me after my 11:20 class (Spanish) ended, but he could only find one glove! I also got disoriented walking to the math science building, and had to ask to make sure where I was because of the snow. There are like 5 sidewalks that lead in the same direction, so Bilko lead me on the most cleared one and theyre so close together I get confused especially in snow. I ended up realizing where I was and finding the class even though I'd only been in that door once before. Bilko recognized where we were and tried to take me to our class from last semester, so I praised him and found the way to the class.

So the snow ended up not being that bad, but it was horribly icy and both my classes were canceled Wednesday which was good since I wasn't going anyway haha!

Snow, Snow Go away!

Unless classes are gonna be canceled for tomorrow!
Ok, so of course there has been talk of the "Blizard of 2010" lately, and everybody's been flipping out. Some teachers canceled classes (which I found out there not supposed to do without permission from the university) yesterday, but none of mine did. Granted I only had 2 classes today, but one was clear across campus (and this campus isn't small) in the music building (aka CMA.) I had not left my dorm much except to relieve Bilko, and I noticed that the sidewalks wern't really cleared yet. Well, my first class was in my dorm building which was awesome! Then I was debating on even trying to get to the CMA since its been snowing like mad all day. The busses were still running, so I decided to go for it and take the bus. If the bus wasn't running I wouldn't even have bothered attempting it! So I went out and tried to take my normal rout to the bus stop, but the sidewalks were completely covered still! This was at like 3 this afternoon! Arg! I hate stupid people! A lady that knows me directed me to a different rout that I'd done before but hate because it involves getting through this parking lot that Bilko and I always end up wandering around in... It happened again, and someone directed me out of it. Then the cleaning lady that'd helped me before came running up and insisted on helping me get to the bus stop. She tried to grab me, and I said "no, my dog will guide me thanks." I absolutely hate people grabbing or pushing me! She made sure I was going in the right direction and walked away. I told Bilko to "find the bus stop" and we were fine. When the bus finally came, we got on, and a few minutes later I heard on the radio that all classes were canceled after 5:00 pm tonight. My jazz choir rehearsal ended at 4:30, so I didn't think It'd be canceled, and I was already on the bus anyway. I got to the CMA and the bus driver made sure I got across the street with the huge piles of snow (nice, but I'd've been fine without her lol) the sidewalk was much clearer than the ones by my dorm, and we made it to the building and when we got to the classroom... "Hi Jenna. We're canceling class." my director.
Arg! You've got to be kidding me! I should've not even bothered coming! O well... A friend from the group gave me a ride back to the dorm so I didn't have to wait for the bus, and when I got back I realized everyone was packing up on food for the next day lol.

I'm really hoping it either snows a lot tonight so classes are canceled tomorrow, or melts. I have an O and M (orientation and Mobility) lesson tomorrow, and I want to go walk around the neighborhood near my apartment complex for next year to see what's there, but I don't think walking in feet of snow will do anybody any good... especially since I'll be using my cane to get the layout of things. I hate that thing! i'll use it when I have to, but no more!
Ok now I'm going to do homework. Hopefully my future posts will be more entertaining than this one. Ta-Ta for Now
