Packers Won!

For the record, I don't actually follow sports.  I've been known to on occasion, but it's not a serious thing.

Until tonight.

The Superbowl was freaking amazing.  I couldn't stop watching the game even though I really only wanted to watch for the commercials.  I was the only one in my family pulling for the Packers - my mom was very for the Stealers, my dad and sister were just along for the game.

It was a great game.

The commercials were ok too.  I can't really remember what the products were that were being advertised for, but they were good.  There was one with Adrien Brody in it.  That was an interesting and pleasant surprise; he was selling some kind of beer and looking super cute while doing so.  I mean, seriously.  His hair was almost just like in "Love the Hard Way" and he was singing.  Too cute.  Or hot.  Not sure which.

(Ok, fangirl moment over.)

For the rest of my evening, I plan on finishing this blog and then possibly going to bed.  For some reason I'm exhausted.  I think it may be the snow.  It seems to be taking things out of me: I'm tired, I don't care about most things, I don't feel social, etc.  I blame winter.

I think spring is around the corner, though.  It better be.

And that is where this blog is going to end for the night.

Until we meet again,

So Done with Winter.

This morning it was -32 degrees with wind chill.  Do you see that, readers?  -32 flippin' degrees.

All the schools in the area were closed.  Except for mine.  The one day I really needed a snow day and it was not coming.  What I ended up doing was emailing my professors; two classes I did not show for on the premise that I am sick (I emailed my homework in with the one, but as of now have yet to hear back), one class I went to for all of ten minutes.

That was my speech class.  For even though I feel like a cat run over by a mac truck and then dragged through the slush, I still had to give my introductory speech.  My professor was really cool about the whole thing, though.  She let me go first, thanked me for being there, and then let me leave as soon I was done. 

As said before, she's awesome.  She also gave everyone who showed up to class today extra credit (because it never got above 0 degrees), which is great.

I think my speech went really well, despite being sick.  I compared my violin to my life and took my violin in to show the class.  I played a few songs.  My instrument really helped me relax, because let's be honest: having something or someone you love with you is always a boost of moral support.  And my mom and sister were just down the hall.

(We figured that since I wasn't going to be very long, they would come in with me and sit at a table on the fourth floor until I was done.  It was a brilliant idea.)

I am so over this cold, both in reference to the weather and to my health.  My nose is so chapped that it hurts to breathe and even more to blow so that I can breathe.  I don't sleep well or a lot at night, mainly dozing both during the day and night.  My cough hurts, my ears itch.  It's breaking up.  It always gets worse before it gets better.  I figure it'll be gone by the weekend.

As for the weather, I hate this biting cold.  Everyone in my family is sick and it doesn't help any of us out.  It's painful going outside.  When you do go out, you have to have insane layers on.  I'm all for the happy medium here: jacket weather - not too hot, not too cold.  Preferably fall or spring without snow.

Yeah, that's what I'm dreaming of. 

I told you guys I'd be sick of snow and that wishing for cold weather was a fluke.  I told you.
I think that sums up today.  I'm really proud of myself for blogging every day this year so far.  I'm going to keep it up.

Until we meet again,
