Here comes the sun....

Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right


Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here


Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

On a foggy day in February...

After a weekend of temps in the 20's and lower, today is in the mid 40's and foggy/drizzly. On my way back from my first class the Canadian geese were just chilling across the street from my house...

So the geese are...
... sitting on the marsh by the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the marsh by the bay
Wastin' time

Snow Day!!!

Classes were cancelled last night because of the pending storm today...pleasant surprise!!!

It snowed starting at about 11 last night and into early this morning leaving probably 6 inches. But by this morning it was freezing rain and now just rain. Technically today was a rain day!

It's so nice to have a free day off. I've been lounging around, eating and watching television. Most of my class work is done so there's nothing to do but be lazy.

Tomorrow is Valentine's day and I'm wishing I had a Valentines though after all of these commercials for chocolate, flowers and jewelry. Maybe I'll go bid on someone at the Senior Date Auction next week (just kidding about bidding). The senior class auctions off some willing students to raise money for our senior week activities. Proves to be an entertaining evening every year!

So classes still get cancelled when you are in college...and snow days are always exciting (no matter how old you are)!!!

Nope...I'm still alive

Ok...2 and 1/2 weeks into the semester and 99 days til graduation!
(No, I didn't count down. UNE has a 99 day bash for seniors only to celebrate the double digit count down to graduation...I'm a little scared at what will come after graduation because I don't know yet, but I'm super excited to graduate and be done with college.)

The past week has been a bit crazed and at random. Monday I found out that I had to speak at the Alpha Chi induction on Tuesday...and introduce President Ripich. Alpha Chi is National Honors Society for College and I was inducted last year and the vice president this year. It is an honor to be a member because that means I am in the top ten percentile of my class. However, the 24 hour notice was a little nerve wrecking. With some quick writing and information from our faculty advisors, I welcomed the new members and the audience, as well as introduced the president without a problem.

After the ceremony, I went home, only to be dragged back out for drinks with a friend because it was his birthday. I ended up celebrating more than he did...

Wednesday seemed like the longest day because I had classes from 11-4 without a break. Then I went to the gym with what seemed like the rest of the student body. I was called to go out again, but I said "No, no. I must read." Then I promptly fell asleep.

Thursday I had to wait around for Time Warner Cable guy to come over and figure out why we didn't have cable or internet. It has been so windy at the beach that the cable connection came loose and it had to be reconnected. Woohoo, I love being held hostage in my house for silly stuff like that. Then I had to work at 2:30 and had fun with the kids of course. After that I had a pampering date with my friends Corinne and Kristi. Kristi had set up appointments for us at the Foot Oasis on Main Street right here in Biddeford. We enjoyed a nice foot soak and rub with a complimentary glass of wine and appetizers. After that we enjoyed dinner next door at Thai Siam. It was a nice relaxing evening, got to catch up with my friends and enjoy some good eats!

Friday I had my Intro to Art Therapy class...which I won't lie...is my favorite class this semester. Yes, I am an English major, but my interest has shifted to possibly grad school for art therapy. Then bad weather rolled in around 2:00, my last two classes of the day were cancelled and I spent the night in with Ben and Jerry's and a couple movies with the roomies!

Now it's Saturday and homework time since I slacked so much during the week.

Senioritis...nah!
