Well a snow storm has finally found Albany and another is soon to follow tomorrow. This is great news since it finally looks like winter outside. I hate it when everything is grey and brown and love it when it all gets covered up by pure white snow. The snow that fell yesterday and is still falling is the super heavy wet stuff. So if you get to park on the street like me, you will have a great time shoveling yourself out. I almost broke my back for about 15 minutes this morning doing just that. I felt very empowered once I got out. Finding a parking spot (also in the street) for work was more of a challenge since it seemed like everyone else who had left a spot didn't need to shovel out. I guess they have four-wheel drive or people to push them. I wasn't going to chance my little Ford Focus on a spot like that when I don't have a shovel in my trunk (grave mistake). Thankfully I found a mostly plowed spot and didn't have to pay $10 to park in the lot (knock on wood never have).
They canceled classes last night and today until 12:35 which is great if you have classes then but I don't so it was a total bummer.
I'm heading down to the city this weekend on my second megabus trip (only $20.50!). My good friend Thuan decided to take off for Vietnam until August so obv I need to pay my respects before she flies away. My mission this week is to achieve a comfortable level of work before Friday so I can enjoy the trip and not have a freak out.
Mostly I need to so some "Research Methods" i.e. statistics homework. That class makes me thank my lucky stars I took three math classes in college. That's about the only plus side to my bachelor of science degree. I thought I was really smart doing a B.S. instead of a B.A. to get out of a language course. Now, in a grad program in NY, they tell me its a language course is a requirement for any degree in the state.
"Oh you took it Spanish high school, did you get over 85 on your Regents?"
"No I'm from Michigan, where Regents don't exist, so even though I took 4 years of that stuff I guess it won't matter here huh?"
"Right, sorry."
Awesome. Don't get me wrong I'm very thankful I didn't have to deal with Regents, but seriously, there should be a way to get out of this course (other than a test which I would fail since it's been eight years since I thought about Spanish).
Last weekend we saw our friend Eric preach which was pretty cool. He was able to hold my attention and Brian's the whole time, which is no small feat.
