Well, I did better than last week: three weeks instead of a month. Class has pretty much been business as usual, with the exception of my senior seminar project (read: 45 minute “talk”) coming due. Pure dread.
February 3rd one of the committees I’m on threw a 100 Days party, marking the exact count of 100 days until graduation day. It was well attended and better budgeted (read: we got a better deal) than last year’s, so we were applauded. It was lovely. Then how about that Super Bowl? Yeah, I really didn’t have a favorite team, but it was fun to watch everyone who did get all worked up. Plus Danny’s fraternity had lots of big screens with burgers and brats and awesome appetizers. When the game got mundane, there was food and Paula to entertain me.
Later that week I had a go-see in Middleton. Jack (GPS navigator) gave me some sweet directions, and when I say “sweet directions” I really mean if the roads were dry and I didn’t have my snow wheels on it woulda been a pretty fun drive with all those hills and curves on the crazy through-a-farm-field back roads. The go-see went alright, but it was different than anything I’d been to before. “Try this on.” “Stand full front.” “Turn to 3/4.” “And face back.” “Great, now go try this on.” Rinse and repeat. We’ll see what happens, but I’m not expecting anything.
Last weekend Paula and I went up to the UP to visit my brother for Winter Carnival. Luckily my parents were up there too because our previous plans for shelter fell through. For this particular travel, we didn’t have a power source for poor Jack. We tried to make due by turning him off when we had to stay on a particular stretch of road for a while. This would have worked in theory, that is if Paula and I could read road signs... In any event, we made pretty good time, even with our sweet detour. The floor of my parent’s hotel room was surprisingly comfortable, and the hockey game and snow sculptures the next day were amazing. MTU won the series against the jelly doughnuts of Denver University. Seriously, Google their logo.
This week blessed me with some lovely bed-rest. Being sick on Valentine’s Day is anything but splendid, especially when your Valentine is sick too. At least we got to spend Valentine’s Day sickly together... I’ll take what I can get.
Happy Friday!
<3 Rebecca~
