Let it Snow! And Please Let it Stay!

I woke up this lovely Sat. morning and my roommate told me I had better look out the window. So I did, and a beautiful blanket of white covered the ground and large, fluffy snowflakes covered the sky. Aw. It was so pretty. 

And my goodness, it's about time!! It's the end of November in SASKATCHEWAN and the past week has been warm enough to wear hoodies and flip flops. I was thinking that if global warming made every winter from now on like this I was going to move North. I refuse to do the Christmas season without snow. So all I have to stay is, snow, pretty pretty please stay. 

This past week since arriving back to school has gone pretty well, pretty quickly too. It has kind of been a more challenging week, though. It has been a homesick week. Not necessarily missing my house but missing the familiarness of high school, my consistent group of friends, the predictability of the routine, and yes, even my family. What has made it harder is that I have gotten all of my homework done minus the studying for exams, so I have nothing to do. I also have nothing to do with no one to do it with because they are all madly finishing up their projects and papers. So I've been lonely. It's pretty much just been me and my gilmore girls three evenings this past week. And I've been so extra sensitive for some reason. 

Yesterday was better though...and the evening before that too. We went to Madagascar 2 on Thursday night and chilled at DQ. Yesterday started off dumb b/c no one wanted to follow through on their plans to come to Regina with me. But, then I found out that some other girls on the hall were going shopping in MJ so I went with them. I ended up finding a dress for our banquet, a couple cmas presents for others, and a couple other things for myself. It turned out to be a fun and productive afternoon. Last night the vball teams were playing so I watched about 3 hours of that before my butt got so numb from the bleachers and I got so restless from doing the same thing for so long that I had to leave. 

Today I have lots of plans as well. Vball watching at 1:00, then supper in MJ with some people, then a CD release party, then a movie night. It should keep me busy.
