Not Dying

It's official, I'm not dying!
I wasn't bitten by a black widow.
I wasn't shot in my sleep.
A tiny dinosaur did not chew a hole in my leg.
And I certainly was not stabbed.
Whatever it is, it is not taking my life.
My leg is on the mend.

Cold and White

And it snowed three times over the weekend.
So very cold in Minnesota.

Over

And the weekend is over. It went by in the blink of an eye and of course I already miss it, but I do not miss the weather and therefore am glad to be home.
Last night we finally got to go out with our friends! Christy and I met Jen, Kaleigh, and Alli, and also Laura for dinner at Big Bowl at the Galleria-so good and a great atmosphere. But somewhat expensive. It was so much fun, we at and talked for a few hours and then Jen, Kaleigh, and Alli had to go back to Northwestern.
So Laura, Christy, and I went over to Caribou Coffee--which was closed. So Starbucks was the plan. We did the usual deep talks and then laughed a lot. I love Laura so much, and I miss her already. She is one amazing girl!
Lorina and Victoria were at the house we stayed at. They are great girls too, but so dedicated to school we hardly saw them.
And then early this morning we left and came back to the sunshine. And now it's finals week and I have papers to write and only four days in which to do it all.
So I really shouldn't be doing this right now.

Cold and Wet

Today was cold and wet. It is supposed to snow overnight and maybe tomorrow, too. Again I pose the question, why do people choose to live here?
Yesterday and today the Mall of America was full of Jewish people, fresh from Israel. It was cool seeing them all over the place, and today being Sabbath, they were very well-dressed.
We held the banquet for EEMN tonight, it went really well and I had a lot of fun. I saw Cassia, Ben, Heidi, Danielle, and then Joe and Becky and their kids showed up, too. The kids couldn't hold still very well so I ended up taking them out and we watched a few Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus music videos together on my laptop and then discussed their importance.
I cannot wait to see Laura tomorrow. You seriously have no idea how much I cannot wait.
And so we have some "training" for the foreign camps tomorrow morning at 9am so I should get to sleep.
Today I feel a little better. I hope tomorrow fares similarly.

Today Was a Day

I have officially experienced my first day in minnesota. It's kind of odd it's nice being here but I don't really miss it.
My leg hurts, I think it's infected with something. Or I have been bitten by a black widow, in which case this may be my last blog. So very short-lived but I can't write when a spider has taken my life.
I went to the Mall of America today with mom and Christ and it was great, we were there pretty much all day. I bought a few things, yay for no sales tax!
So tomorrow things will get busier, but it should be good anyways. My mood is a little better but it's going to take time.
The weather is only supposed to be 46 and rainy tomorrow, it might snow apparently. Today was gloomy and rainy, too.
Why do people live here?
Albuquerque, I miss you and you're magnificent weather...

To Pack

I am packing now, as I am leaving in less than three hours for the airport.
I worked this morning at 5am, an unearthly hour. I kind of smell like coffee, it isn't very pleasant.
And now I need to get back to packing because it takes me forever. This time tomorrow I will be basking in the glory of the Mall of America. Could it get any better than that? Probably. But it's still good times.

Ouch

I hurt. A lot. Mostly on the inside.

Definition of Time?

Today will be busy, I have finals, final papers, work, a study date with a girlfriend, errands to run, and packing to do. Maybe even swing daning tonight. Someday it is my aim to have absolutely nothing to do. I want to get bored again, relive my old high school days.
I am excited for my trip tomorrow! I have not been to Minneapolis in almost two years, it is calling my name. And I get to hang out with Jen and Laura again. Not to mention the extended family.
I am hoping today will be good though. My mood is so-so but that is to be expected I think.

Who the heck is Herbert Spencer? I couldn't tell you. But he seems smart.

New

Today I'm starting something new, the timing seems to be right.
I'll try to be diligent in this. There's not much to say right now, but there will be.
Stick around.
