A Sticky Situation
Yesterday was just one of those days that I should have stayed in bed... oh wait, I did sort of.
It all started out around 7:50 am when my first alarm went off.. I remember looking outside and thinking "oh pretty snow". Next thing I know it's 8:45 am and I'm leaping off my top bunk because I guess I forgot to get up the first time and I have a class that begins at 9:00. The nice thing about living in the dorms is that they're close to the academic side so that when stuff like this happens, I can literally throw on some clothes, get ready and be out the door in 8 minutes or less. Potentially, if I did this all correctly I could make it there by 9 am... however, yesterday's predicament was SNOW. I had read the forecast the day before alerting me of the foot of snow that was about to plop down on Rochester so I wasn't all that surprised that there were already two inches on the ground as I tried to "run" to class. Let's just say... you won't move very fast. Walking on lumpy snow is rather difficult because you go no where. I actually made it to class at 9:04 am -- impressive, huh? After all of these shenanigans it turns out that my professor didn't even show until nearly 10 am because of really heavy traffic. It turned out okay though because we're in the middle of working on a project so I was able to get started on that. Between the hours of 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm there weren't really any catastrophes so that was good. But then comes the real trouble.. I made it through class at 2:00 just fine, got to work more on a different project and we actually got out a tad early due to the snowfall. Walked over to the admissions office for Phone/Chat Power! (as mentioned in Alissa’s blog). During this whole thing I needed to find a pen so I reached in my bag only to have my hand completely covered in sticky goopy nonsense… rubber cement. I guess the top of the bottle was not completely closed so when I was walking it had turned upside-down and emptied into my bag which was holding my ipod, cell phone, sketchbook, color aid, etc. Fortunately the most important items were not covered but my phone was completely encrusted and my usb drive is dead due to massive exposure. It was okay though because I just through it all a plastic bag and went back to calling and chatting people which is super fun! My roommate did not seem to happy with me though for bringing a giant goopy mess of smelly glue back into our room but I think she got used to it after a while.
Anyway, I guess yesterday wasn’t as bad as I thought… the snow was really pretty, I got out of class early, there was chat power, and I was able to hang out with friends at night since I had already worked on my homework. Plus it’s almost the weekend! And that means, hockey game, two movie nights, little shop of horrors on Sunday, a superbowl party and lots of homework.
Also, for those of you who have not joined us yet... the last chat power is tonight from 5 until 7 so log on, ask some questions and join the fun! You know you want to

Gah! That stinks...literally! I hope none of your lovely coloraid work was damaged! Gina would not be happy about that.
Anyways, walking to class in the snow is not fun, especially when it's windy and your lugging all your art stuff with you. One time I was walking through the breezeway with my giant pad of newsprint and I was literally blown away!
