Good Heavens!

It has been raining for three days straight. I'm not really a fan of cold rain, blustery winds, wet feet, and frizzy hair, but I guess it'll just make me appreciate the sun more when it's finally supposed to appear tomorrow. It's also supposed to get up to 52 degrees, which is pretty phenomenal. The rain made for a somewhat terrifying drive back from Vermont on Saturday. It wasn't raining until I passed the toll booth somewhere around Hooksett, NH, when it started downpouring. Then, to add to the already kind of sketchy driving conditions, it got dark, I got to 128, and I was in the left lane. Oddly enough, only in the left land of 128 does hydroplaning occur, and so once I was in a less populated area I merged back into the right lane again. That action also solved the problem of not being able to see any of the lines on the road, because they were more visible in the right lane somehow. In any case, I prayed my way back to school, and managed not to die en route. Always good, right?

On a completely different note, my roommate and I have the weirdest and yet funniest conversations, especially late at night. We've often discussed how we should record them, and see if they're still funny later, but at least while they happen, they are hilarious. For example, this evening we pondered what we would do if we could change little things in the world, and finally decided that the horns of a yak should grow suddenly, without warning, and come with sound effects. I think the sound effect we decided on was something like, "Mraaaaaah..." The topic of yaks came up because I passed a yak farm on my way back to school. Maybe they were long-horned cattle, but until someone informs me otherwise, I will continue to believe that they are yaks. Much, much more interesting.

And finally, a list of random things that might deserve attention, if only for a second:

-Awhile ago I got a package with 10 stamps, all unmarked. REUSABLE POSTAGE!

-It should be spring by now.

-Panera hot paninis are awesome.

-I need to redeem a whole bunch of frequent flyer miles before April 4th. Chicago, maybe?

-ACK, need to take a summer class!

-All-State is on Wednesday, yay!

-Don't get strep; it stinks. Drink a teaspoon of vinegar at every meal (mixed with juice).

-Zinc also helps sickness, but tastes kinda nasty.

-Why the heck is my car making funny noises right after it got fixed?!?

-Stir fry for lunch tomorrow...SO GOOD!

-Overheard in the school cafeteria: "Requirement for THAT class? Castration." Ummm...?

-No classes on Tuesday/Thursday; hooray!

-I left my echinacea at home.

-Judges, story of Ehud. Crazy, kinda gross, somewhat humorous, epic.

-This is too long already, so I think it's time to stop.
