It has been bitterly cold here this past week - cold enough to make me threaten aloud to transfer to any college in Florida. Today made up for it – big time. It’s a Friday, and everyone I know had either tests to take, papers to hand in, or –the best, well worst- a practical to take. I’m not a bio major, but from an outsider, practicals seem like they make students travel to the depths of hell and back, while walking on their hands. My friends who have them disappear weeks before to study in a remote corner of the library, and dread them worse than people dreaded the plague. I’m convinced if they banded together they could possibly win a class action suit against them on the basis they are cruel and unusual punishment. Oh, but here’s the best part if they are cancelled they don’t reschedule them. I’m not lying when I say I saw tears of joy well up in their eyes when they got the text message declaring no school.
So what have I been up to? (Besides lying in bed ‘til noon? The best thing to do on snow days is sleep.) I told you I had some fun stuff coming up. Well Monday I got my mouth guard, Tuesday I molded it, and Wednesday I was all set for the first tackling practice of the rugby season. And considering I’m able to be typing this today on Friday, it went pretty well. It’s not as hard or scary as it looks, but it does take some getting used to. (Especially the getting tackled part) We played a rugby version of steal the bacon. It was honestly a lot of fun.
Monday was the Habitat for Humanity meeting. Now it’s getting exciting, since the trip is coming. We put in our money, and filled out the waivers. Now it’s official. We are going to greet a visiting chapter in a little while, actually.
Ok, well I have to go but before I do I wanted to share something new I discovered! Explosions in the Sky is a great band to study to. It’s all instrumental. I know that made me think it was like classical music at first, but it’s far from it. Check ‘em out!!
