Topic: The More There Is To DO
HAPPY MONDAY!!! I sure had a full week last week. Tuesday I had a kid home half a day (throat stuff-thankfully didn't last long-or pass on), Wednesday there was a BOMB THREAT at their school so they stayed home. Thursday they had a half day because their basketball team was in the playoffs, and they went to support them at Mac Court, and Friday was a SNOW DAY!!! I'm not sure how I managed to stay on track-but I must say I did okay!
I have been here for 8 years, and I think there has been one snow day every other year, but last Friday we got one. I like the weather here, it never gets that horrible midwest style "wind chill factor" that turns your boogers to ice if you try to breathe, and in the summer, the humidity doesn't really stick you to your sheets for three months running.
Recently, we have run the gamut as far as weather is concerned. You wake up and it is grey, and there is frost on your car, it rains, then hails. Then it clears, and gets sunny but with a decieving breeze that cuts right through your body, then it clouds up again and a sleety rain turns to snow, and all of a sudden everything is covered-for about 10 minutes...then...Snow never lasts very long in the valley-but you can go see it in the mountains if you want to-it's a WIN-WIN!! This is what we endure in order to have the most picture perfect July's on the planet. I guess I'll just stay bundled a little tighter, and think warm thoughts. I heard that around 60% of the University of Kansas was hit by tornadoes last night...SURRENDER DOROTHY!!!
Hopefully things will be calmer at the UofO while I am over there talking to the professor at the Ceramics department about my degree. I have to admit a certain amount of nerves about going over there and asking Sana to take me back into the fold, if only for one semester-but it has to be done, so off I go...
