Just say No to Tuesday Classes

I haven't had a snow day since high school...until today. My RA called me yesterday about 2 minutes after I had pulled off the high way because of the snow and wind to tell me that today's classes were cancelled! So, instead of sitting in chapel right now, I'm sitting at home for a few more hours :)

Things have been going well over the past couple of months. I just spent about a month at home for break and that was wonderful. I spent a lot of time with friends, and got to reconnect with some friends that I haven't seen in quite some time. Plus, the Huskers won, Favre got knocked out of the playoffs by the guy he knocked out of New York, and Oklahoma lost. So, even though the Bears didn't make it to the post season, I don't have much to complain about on the football front. Also, a dear friend of mine got married in December, and I was privileged to sing in her wedding and be part of one of the best days of her life.

My first semester at Northwestern went great. I was crazy busy all the time, working almost non-stop for the last 2 months of the semester, but I learned a lot. I definitely made the right decision in coming to Northwestern - the training and preparation I'll receive for Social Work will be superior to that I would receive at Greenville. I don't mean to knock Greenville's program, and I don't want to because I'm sure it would have been great, but accreditation really does make a difference. I really like the school, and I like the people. However, I do miss my roomie and the rest of the people from Greenville.

Even though I'm a big fan of the snow day, I am ready to do productive things again. I'm not necessarily ready to be back at school, but I am ready to do something other than just hang out, even though hanging out with my friends and especially my family was pretty fantastic.
