snow....yuck!

Well, well, well....it's been a while.

I'm back in the full swing of school and quite honestly it's very very overwhelming!!! They say this semester is the hardest of all 4 and I'm beginning to agree. I was very stressed the first week. I guess I wasn't quite ready to go back! But, now I think I've got the hang of things.

Today I was hoping and praying for a snow day, actually had myself so psyched up that I would have the day off, when I woke up and saw absolutely no snow....I was very upset. So, I bundled up and headed out to Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove because I had clinical this am at 7. As I drove, the rain continued to pelt down and freeze, snow began and the roads were awful. I got to AMBC about 630, sat and had some coffee and tried to relax for it had been a very stressful drive. People feel the need to be #^$holes when the weather is no good, I had about 3 very close calls. All three people decided they wanted to pass the semi and didn't realize I was in the lane next to them. I was almost side swiped twice, then almost rear-ended! Very stressful day. Then about 830am my clinical instructor notified us that Harper closed the campus for the rest of the day and we would be free to go at 11. Just in time to drive home in the crappy weather. Needless to say it took me about an hour and a half to get home, normally a 35 min drive at that time of day...but no close calls. Thank God.

Went and saw Jersey Boys this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful! Better than I expected. I'd like to go back again, and I'd like to take Dan with me, I truly think he'd enjoy the show.

Movie update....saw PS I love you with mom and Dawn a couple weeks ago, it was a wonderful story! I'll be buying that one for my personal collection. Dan and I had a couple date nights, we discovered the REd Robin, great burgers, not good for a diet! But good food. We also ventured to the movies and saw, No Country for Old Men and 27 Dresses. Loved the second, can't say I truly enjoyed or understood the first!

I bought my wedding dress! I love it!

Thats all for now....I'm off to bed, school and work this weekend!
