Snowy Sunday: Take Two

Note: if this is your first time reading my entries, start at the bottom or else it will make little sense!

Well the weekend was uneventful in my life compared to the lives of others. If you want a glimpse of how much the Iraqi elections meant to some, check out an Iraqi’s blog: www.iraqthemodel.blogspot.com What he has to say is far beyond anything I could say…

I was rather unambitious this weekend—mainly wanting to recover from the week and get homework done. The latter hasn’t really happened yet so that’s my evening plans. It’s been rather relaxing around here… lots of snow and ice this weekend but not enough to give me the day off tomorrow.

So February starts this week. I do believe its my least favorite month of all. I’m sure it will be good this year… but as a month in and of itself, I really don’t care for it. Of all the winter months, it’s the one that’s cold when you’re kinda over the cold and snow thing, but it’s not yet the beginning of spring. It’s also short, which throws the whole rest of the year off balance. I still think we should have more months with 30 days rather than a random month with 28 most years. And the worst of all of February’s offenses: it contains Valentine’s day. The day invented by hallmark to torture singles into feeling left out and rejected.. I must say, I think Valentine’s will be much more pleasant in D.C. where I can forget it exists than it was at Asbury when February 1^st generally prompts the hall bathroom to be FULL of hearts and valentine’s decorations…put up by girls with boyfriends of course… who are rather hopeful their bf’s might pop the question that year. One year they decorated for Valentine’s halfway through January—AHH, why prolong the torture? At least in D.C. it is unlikely anyone will be asking me about my Valentine’s plans… anonymity has its virtues.

I’m procrastinating work by borrowing trouble from a day that has not yet come. It has been noted that I am getting fewer emails because you cannot “reply” to a blog. In fact, you CAN… just hit “comment”… but if you’d rather send an email the traditional way, I will start putting my email address on the bottom of my entries so you can just click and email… hint hint =)
