alexiscartwheelI woke up this morning and glanced out the window and it was white! It's the first real snow we've had all winter. Finally, a payoff for the cold temps. :)
Mid-morning I got an e-mail (actually four e-mails) informing me that the University was closing early today. It made me really glad that Tuesday is my new day off, cause I would have been irritated if I had trekked all the way to campus just to be sent home for a couple measly inches of snow. There's freezing rain right now which is supposed to continue overnight, so I won't be surprised if it's closed again tomorrow.
And because I am twelve years old and was super excited about my snow day. I even went outside and took pictures:
I spent plenty of time lounging around the house--you know, typical snow day--but I was also slightly productive. I picked out a book to review for the class I had yesterday (I am so on top of things), e-mailed some potential practicum sites for another class, and ordered one of my textbooks. I was strangely gleeful about the potential confusion I was inflicting on Amazon's recommendation system by buying a textbook, a calendar, The Little Mermaid on DVD, and a Margot & the Nuclear So and So's CD on the same order.
I read The Uncommon Reader this afternoon, which was short but pretty amusing. I saw the movie version of The History Boys a couple weeks ago, then picked this up at the library purely by coincidence--I didn't realize they had the same author. His work strikes me as, well, very British. And he's quite the literary name dropper. Good stuff, though.
I'm keeping track of all the books I'm reading this year again, and I'm trying something new. In addition to my list, I just joined Goodreads and I'm going to record everything there too. So if you're a member, go check out my profile. It's not as cool as LibraryThing, but I'm using them for different things, so that's okay.
Just cause I miss him, here's a picture of my dog that I found when I uploaded stuff today:
I promise I had nothing to do with his ridiculous outfit.
