What a Day.

Well today has been one of those days where everything seems so....(for lack of a better word)...blah! I was really tired this morning and classes didn't help that fact. I didn't go to the Rec. Center this morning, Rach and I decided we would work out on the Bow-Flex at her house instead. I sat through anatomy lab for 3hrs(I only get one credit hr for it so it seems kind of like a waste of time despite the fact that some of the material is really interesting). I went home and grabbed a snack before I left to go feed horses. This is where my day gets fun. I arrive at the barn to find Harvey (one of the funniest/most infuriating ponies of all time) running around in the girl's pasture. As Harvey is a boy this posed a problem because he was making the girls run around like chickens with their heads cut off in a very small scale stampede. Also the other boys (Egan, Gabe, and Merganzer) were running around because they couldn't get in there with the girls. After about a 20 minute effort I wrangled Harvey out of the pasture, and took him to his stall. I proceeded to get all the other horses in their respective stalls and give them all their evening meal. After all of my duties at the barn were fulfilled I went home ate supper and went to Rachel's where we were going to watch the new episode of LOST...I arrived to find out that the new episode of LOST would not be airing until 1:00am. So Rach and I worked out for a while then played a game of Life (she won). Overall it wasn't a bad day, because any day that we are still alive is a good day but, it had some mildly frustrating aspects.

Snow....in North Carolina!?!?!

So as we all know it snowed here in North Carolina this week. I was ridiculously excited because the last time it snowed here any significant amount I was in Florida and I missed what is a miraculous event in NC. I stayed up the night before to watch the news at 11 where they promised me snow. Like a small child, I woke up in the middle of the night every few hours to check and see if it had indeed snowed yet. Much to my dismay every time I checked there still wasn't any snow. When I finally got out of bed for good at 5:45 and there still wasn't any snow I had given up. I was sure it was just like every other time they call for snow here and by some devastating turn of events the elements needed for snow to fall do not align in the atmosphere. I figured I would just watch ESPN until it was time for me to go to school when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of snowflakes falling outside mine and Josh's apartment window! I didn't even bother checking ECU's website to tell us if school was cancelled, I wasn't going if it was snowing. When I thought everyone else in the world might possibly be awake and some snow had accumulated I went to Rachel's house to play in the snow. (We don't have adequate room to play in the snow at the apartment complex.) When I got there Rachel laughed at me and told me I was worse than a small child. We proceeded to play in the snow for a while (until we got cold) and went inside. By the way, I totally beat her in a snowball fight, though she will never admit it. We spent the rest of the day watching movies and eating snow cream that Rach had made, it was delicious. I have to say it was a pretty awesome day!
