Horrible blogger

Alright for those of you that do read this probably agree that I have been a horrible blogger the past 20 or so days. Well alas I will finally update you!

I am back in Iowa and under about a foot of snow and under that snow is about 2 inches of ICE!!!

So over break my laptop battery decided to completely call it quits and shortly after I called in to receive a new battery since circuit city doesn't do shit anymore my power cord for it went out as well. So Nick was no longer a mobile Techie, but Nick did get a GPS unit for his car for Christmas. I didn't really want a GPS but it is a very nice gift. Then again I really never want anything for Christmas, the only real Christmas wish I ever had was for my house to be rebuilt back almost exactly where it was... looking back that probably wasn't the best idea. Then I wouldn't have lived in Independence, maybe I could have grown up in a more accepting place? Oh well...

So news in life. In a couple of weeks I will be heading to the airport to go to Cleveland, an event which I am very excited for! There were a few problems that occurred in my planning of this trip, first of which is my tuition needed to be paid, and well I didn't have all the assets in my family bank account so I used all my secret money to pay the tuition, which left me without some of the financial means to make some of the events possible, that is until reimbursements comes through.

I have a pretty full schedule this semester which means I couldn't take the Chinese language class I really wanted to take in order to get my minor but I audit the class 2 days a week so that helps a little bit.

I have been having huge issues sleeping the past week, I am not sure exactly why but it may have something to do with break, I had someone to share the bed with several of the nights :) and now I have to supplement that with a stuffed monkey in the bed and well, its just not the same :(. I miss you Katie <3.

Tomorrow is Wednesday that means full schedule from 9-12 and then 3-4 plus meetings, oh joy do I love meetings! I think its time for us to just do web conferences every time a committee wants to do anything. It would make scheduling so much easier, that way you can have a couple meetings simultaneously instead of wasting 1 hour to do nothing.

I am finding my most interesting class this year is once again not related to my major. Chinese culture is very fufilling most of the days we meet. I once again get a chance to mental spar a teacher and not feel bad. It reminds me of the times my high school history teacher would go on wars of words in the middle of class while all the minions around were staring with blank faces.

Oh well, I think I want to be topical, so next blog will be partially of my own life and the rest is a topic you pick.
