bloggin'

It just so happens that I have found myself with a rare spare moment of time, and so, in the spirit of procrastination at its finest, I have decided to tend to my much wounded blog. It is in need of immediate attention; the homework isn't due till next week. I think. I would like to think.

Anyway, actually, the reality is that I would NOT like to think about it. So for now, for this brief moment of heavenly rest, at least, I shan't. I say "shan't" because I just finished reading this novel for my 20th Century British lit class called Brideshead Revisited that was set in Victorian elite England in the 1940s, and they say things like "shan't" and "to-night" and "parlour." I'm afraid it has stuck with me...sometimes I speak to myself in my head with a 1940s Victorian elite English accent and sometimes it just slips out... My apologies. ;-)

Well, I just took a break to play foosball with Zach McCabe, and now I can't remember for the devil of me what I was going to say... It is quite vexing. (I can just picture my Victorian elite English friend, Charles, from the novel saying "D---!" in his quaint English accent after the last sentence... Oh dear, maybe I need to put the English accent away for a bit??? Right.)

Anyway, today it is winter here. Not quite like winter in South Dakota right now, as I understand it, but all I know is that on Friday of last week it was 68 degrees, by Saturday morning it was snowing, and by Sunday morning there was snow on the ground. By today it has melted, but it is still raining and quite miserable outside. I am so thankful for a place to be warm.....

As the semester draws closer to an end here (I believe we have 3 and a half weeks left till finals??), things are getting crazier, but it will all get done. Mostly I'm just really excited to see my family in 5 weeks. :-) It's a bitter-sweet time, though, with Bre leaving as well... I'm going to miss her... I'm hoping she ends up in India....that would be an amazing experience for her. :-) God is going to do great things in her life..

Anyway, I should probably wrap this up for now. I'm still frustrated that I can't remember what I was going to write about! lol. If it comes back to me, I'll be back soon! ;-) Blessings, all..
