sooo my inner monologue entertains me a lot. so i am going to just write down anything that comes to mind here. for instance i currently have nickelodeon on and its an episode of spongebob. and actually i've never seen it before and its pretty good, as usual. squidward is the funniest squid ever an his clarinet always sounds like its dying haha. and spongebob is crying because patrick is stupid. almost as stupid as my cat, tinkerbell. i miss that fat cat. i wish that she was here with me because she would sleep on my bed and we could cuddle when i watch tv at night and she could try to sit on my lap when im at my computer and i would just love to have a sweet little (big) cat here all the time. i wanna take her with me to park place next year but idk if we can have cats there. i hope we can but if not i will try to find a way to get her in. i thnk she would like to get away from my family because they all just hate her kind of. they dont exactly love her because sometimes she smells like poop. we dont think she cleans herself. and she has these big scary yellow eyes which are kind of creepy late at night. and also because shes a cudddly cat and always wants to sit on a lap and cuddle. my dad hates that but probably becuase he is allergic sort of to cats.
i cant wait for spring break to see my cats and my parents and my friends and my boyfriend and even my car. i miss seeing that old beat up honda accord. its jonk but its my junk and its like the millenium falcon--may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. also i have so many memories with the accord... got pulled over in it, got out of a ticket in it, driven drunken fools home in it, driven it to work in 104 degree weather with no air conditioner, and its made a trip to florida and back. that was when it was my parents car. but now its mine and i wanna take it with me next year also. but idk if it will make it because its super old and not everyting works in it. like the door locks dont work from the inside, and dont work at all on one of the back doors. they only work fully on the drivers door and the passenger door. but its ok because it has radio and power windows (that are mad slow) and its a nice color and the dents and chipping paint and rust make it look vintage-y. and again, its MINE and my pride and joy. i dont want a new car for a while. and i def want another honda, maybe an accord. or maybe a big ass truck hahaha.
i am turning 21 in twenty days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait. i am gonna wake up and have a mimosa for breakfast. then go buy some alcohol from a liquor store with my license that will finally say im 21. then i will go to happy hour at multiple bars. then i willc ome home for dinner, and have a drink with dinner. or 5. and then bar hopping allllll night!!!!!!!!!!!! i just cant wait to go to a restaraunt and order their delicious looking fruity drinks that always sound so yummy and look so pretty on the menus!!

i'm a regular
soo for those of you who attend fredonia state university, you know how awesome the on campus starbucks is. they have drinks as well as breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches and pastries and salads and healthy juice and all that jazz. well, i'm a regular at starbucks. and i usually get the same thing. on the weekends and occasionally after morning classes, i get a turkey bacon and egg white breakfast sandwich and an iced black tea lemonade, grande, sweetened, with light ice (if its warmish) or a peppermint mocha (from november to january) or a raspberry mocha after february. very rarely do i switch it up and get a caramel macchiato with extra caramel. and in the spring and summer, sometimes i opt for a java chip frappacino, double blended, instead of my usual black tea lemonade. and i am so predictable that all the cashiers know me by name. when i tell them what i want (they write your name on your cup or sandwich bag) the girls who have been working there forever always write sam before i even have to tell them i'm sam. its great. and i've never had a messed up drink order, either. great, fast service at this starbucks and as always, great drinks and food. its just funny that not only does one of the cashiers know me, but at least 6 of them start to write my drink order and my name on te cup before im done ordering what i want lol

the value of alone time
so i'm back. and i'm going stir crazy a little bit. for one thing, the frigid weather and SNOW came back. yea, not good. and of course right after i cleaned my uggs off...ugh. story of my life. but honestly i am suffering from a lack of solitude. it seems like no matter what i try to do i can never have my alone time. i live with other girls and even tho a lot of my friends go home for the weekend, i never get to. i am always surrounded by people. if i go to the fast food place and i clearly appear to be just grabbing something to go, i always run into people i know and get suckered into hanging out for 4 hours and lose track of what it was i wanted to accomplish in the first place. i'm not anti-social, but im getting sick of being surrounded by SOO many people 24/7. the ra's come in for rounds, ok. thats their job and they're nice. my suitemates are nice and so is my roomie. i love all my friends...but i also love my solitude. i just need the room to myself sometimes to watch tv alone or write in my book or read a magazine. i like to watch a movie without interruptions or questions or comments on how thats not realistic for ONCE. i really dont like when people talk during a tv show or a movie. even if i've seen it a million times, this is NOT the time for you to get into an in-depth convo with someone!!! shut up!!! we watch a movie for a reason--to hear the dialogue and see the action. not to hear your dumb comments. keep them to commercials or shut it!
sorry i've been stressed this week...can't wait for spring break (less than 3 weeks) and for my 21st birthday (less than a month) and just for this entire semester to be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok. enough of my blabbing and complaining.

a national blue ribbon school of excellence...
well as i'm sure my long islanders know, this morning my high school vice-principal Gerald Waldman was arrested for stealing over $100,000 from the school to pay his personal expenses. While i think this is awful (and TOTALLY explains why the chairs and textbooks were from the 50s and barely staying together) i feel sympathy. I feel awful for the stdents who go there now; how must that feel to be in that enviornment where now you cant even trust the adults around you? I feel bad for our principal Mrs Debra Ledowski, who must be dealing with a ton of crap right now. Poor Deb, like she doesnt have enough to deal with. Poor staff, now i'm sure everyone's going to be under tighter surveillance when dealing with any amount of money.
i honestly cant believe this happened...the guy was a sweet old man. funny, nice, and he had a style that can only be described positively. sure, he may have yelled at me once or twice for wearing tank tops with spaghetti straps (we had to have straps at least 1 inch wide and i got called to the principals office just about every year for breaking this stupid rule), but honestly the guy was just following protocol. i never blamed teachers for reprimanding me when i deserved it. and i got away with so much crap anyway haha; the Deb impressions, writing on certain peoples' lockers, the many senior pranks during locker clean up hahahaha the list goes on and on.
this guy was funny, too. he walked with a swagga, he danced like a teenager at our senior awards dance and even tried his hand at DJ-ing at prom. he was almost like an authority figure that was more of a friend. some of the teachers at sewanhaka may have been just regular teachers but some of them were really kind and reached out to the students. i felt like mr waldman and the vice principal before him, mr farina, were just like that. although mr farina yelled at me a lot more for the dress code more haha.
but honestly, mr waldman looked smarter than that. why he would need to steal money at all, let alone the amount that he embezzled. i just feel bad and its kind of horrible that sewanhaka faculty has been getting bad press the last few years. an art teacher was also fired a few years back for unsavory circumstances and he was one of my favorite teachers. i had him for ap art history and the guy was awesome--had a great, sarcastic sense of humor and always joked with us when the 6 of us in the class giggled at the naked statues we had to study. he taught me more about art than i learned in my college level course, and he was a harsh grader so he made sure we all studied our butts off.
it just seems like nice people have been doing stupid things lately that cost them notonly their jobs, but their lives and reputations. somethings wrong when good people turn to crime, and its really, really sad.

breaking news! and patricia's shout-out
SOO for all of you who don't live in western new york...something crazy is happening! global warming must be real because it is currently 58 degree soutside!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG no way!! But legit, it is that warm outside. so nice, in fact, that i was able to wear light sweat pants that are very very thin and my juicy jacket and tank. and thats it! no winter jacket, no scarf, no stupid mittens without fingers (haha..sorry mom but they just dont cut it when there's 4 feet of snow), and no uggs! yep, its officially sneaker weather again. hopefully this soon turns to flip flop weather because i have some really cute sandals that i cant wait to break out.
PLUS its sunny...aka goodbye snow slush and gross dirty ice that has lined the sidewalks of this campus since the semester started. and while it is supposed to go down to 50 tonight it will also rain, hopefully driving out the last of the remaining slush. i cant wait for it to be gone!!! i am soo sick of winter its ridiculous. i definitely am suffering from that winter depression thingy SAD because ive just been so bored and haven't wanted to do anything at all since the semester began. so this sunshine adn warm weather is definitely a good thing not just because it means no more wiping out on the walk to class haha.
allrighty then... time for a hall council agenda meeting then relaxing then homework and such..
also here is my shoutout to patricia holliday:
i love her even though she can be quite annoying
she is quite fashionable and shops at forever 21 frequently
she may attend st johns, but she is just a freshman so she is NOT college...haha
shes addicted to her blackberry
she went to rome and pretty much all her friends rejoiced hahah sorry i had to mention that!
she is secretly in love with big daddy D =)
her swim students constantly wish injury upon her, or push her and her dry towel in the pool every class
she was voted worst wsi at the pool
she is addicted to arnold palmers, so dont ever touch hers or it will be bad
she totaled her car and the footage was caught on frosty's security camera...and proof is on mike falco's flash drive and my laptop!!
if she threatens to hurt you, it means she likes you
she also loves my cat sprinkles/tinkerbell
she refused to decorate her team SSPAMMM shirt the way we all did, so we ruined hers by splatter painting it and smudging all that she drew on it
she should be a cop becuse she always drives like she's chasing after a criminal or something
she and i share a love for dunkin donuts iced coffee...omg now i want some
i miss that we cant park our honda accords next to each other at work anymore =/ rip hers, and rip my job there haha
once she got a facebook she was addicted to it within the week
we prank called a certain someone while he was at a certain pool during certain post season hours hahaha
we gonna party it up nextime im homee!!!
love you patricia...im sorry i cant help but ridicule you, its too easy!! and i really love you <3

to tan or not to tan?
sooo the debate over indoor tanning is raging this week. once again, the local tanning bed place is offering its free tan week. you literally walk in, choose how long you wanna go in for, and tan fo' free. its kind of awesome and since i only go once a year for the free week, i dont feel like its too bad for me. i know it causes skin cancer, premature aging, and other crap...but honestly that stuff really only applies to people who go DAILY or every 3 days or so. that is HORRIBLE. and i saw a bunch of those people today..so gross! som were orange, some were brown and leathery, some just were so wrinkly it looked unnatural.
i would never go to that extent--honestly, a nice tan isnt worth all the wrinkles or looking like snooki. there's a limit..but its hard when studies show that tanning indoors is actually addicting. lots of people say that during and right after tanning, they feel peaceful and content. i agree; its theraputic to lay in the bed and just get warm for a few minutes (i never go for more than 7 minutes...or else i'd come out looking like a lobster and be just as cranky as one). its just relaxing.
i can see how some people get easily addicted to that feeling. some scientists even say that theraputic "high" you get from indoor tanning can be healthy--it can reverse the winter depression people get, and also ups your intake of Vitamin D, which is very good for ya. so basically, tanning is very very small doses isnt as terrible as people make it seem.
so what do you guys think..anyone agree/disagree/wanna share tanning stories?
like...the first time i went i panicked because i thought i was going to get trapped inside and die by frying to death like in thatf inal destination movie. so i left one hand out so i could free myself if necessary! haha.
until next post,

happy valentine's day!!!
soo today is valentine's day. a wonderful day for couples and singles alike. i've always liked this holiday, even when i was single. actually, i think i liked it more when i was single. for one, i didnt have to get anyone anything. also, i could be anyone's valentine. but i definitely prefer this now, this having a man on heart's day! I got some beautiful tulips in the mail from him today and they are red and pink and purple and soo pretty! and they smell so nicee. he also has a part 2 for me for when i get home... i really dont know what it could be so im super excited! i got him a few things..and some yummy treats thrown on top. its not valentine's day without sugar and chocolate!
for singles on this holiday, you NEED to not be bitter! i know there is a ton of PDA. and yea, sometimes its annoying. im doing a long distance relationship so it does suck to see everyone hold hands and kiss and walk together when i can't do that for another month, and i can only do it 4 times a year and over the summer. it really sucks. but think of the positives--you can be ANYONE's valentine! you can kiss whoever you want tonight! you get to wear pink and red and pig out on chocolate without feeling guilty afterwards. maybe your roomie or professor or friends or parents will give you candy or send you a cute card. my mom and dad sent the cutest one that i got the other day. its nice to just get a pretty card on holidays. plus it decorates my walls haha.
soo go out and enjoy your day--eat cookies and wear pretty pinks and be nice to everyone and go find a cute guy (or girl) to be your valentine!
spread the love, people

do work!
soo today i went to the SUNYAC swimming&diving championships in buffalo to see my team. they did amazingggg, as expected! it was nice to see everyone looking so motivated and so pumped to swim and dive today. the swimmers had prelims this morning and right now they're doing the consolation finals and actual finals. and fredonia has a ton of swimmers in both! yayyyyy blue devils =)
the divers' setup is a little different. the consolation finals are done, they happened this afternoon. so those divers can relax and enjoy the events tonight. the finalists did 3 out of their 6 final dives this afternoon and right now they are dong their last 3. the men's side got interesting today because the guys in 1st 2nd and 3rd place were literally less than a point away from each other. like legit, they were mere tenths of a point away from each other. it could be anyone's meet tonight. the girls side was a little more spread out but i know our girls (fredoni has 4 out of 8 finalists haha so tons of points will get awarded regardless of places). im so proud of all the hard working athletes and coaches!
it was kind of bittersweet to see everyone too...made me realize this year was the year my family and boyfriend might have come to see me dive at champs. but honestly i dont mind not having that pressure. and its great that im still part of the team by anouncing for swimming and diving events at the home meets. it was cool to talk to coach crawford--he gave me a huge hug and called me "ms blogger" haha guess someone told him about this! well thats good because it means he's reading =) he also asked if i was being healthy and staying fit. i said yes, told him i was working out at the gym and then showed him my gigantic biceps. ok..they're not that gigantic (at all) but he looked impressed. and then he gave me m&ms! for valentines day, of course.
i also saw tom the official, aka my favorite official ever. he's such a sweet old man and he reminds me of my grandfathers and he was absolutely overjoyed to see me today! he gave me a huge hug hello (and goodbye) and we chatted about school and announcing and general meet things. and then i teased him when his fone went off during the middle of someone's dive! too funny haha. but he did say he was looking forward to seeing and working with me next year. he and the other official who come to our home meets, bob, told arthr (head swim coach) that they loved when i announce because i have a clear voice and great diction so they can actually understand me when i speak into the mic. and also apparently i can go btwn announcing swimming heats and dives "flawlessly"--their words, not mine haha. but i do love announcing and the officials are so nice that it makes the job really fun. its nice to be appreciated for something you're good at =)
lindsay my roomie drove us to buffalo this morning in the blizzard...and we got into a slight car accident. nothing too big, just skidded off the road because it was snowing so bad we literally couldnt see the exit and kind of sort of hit a smallish pole. but it prevented us from going into a ditch so im kind of glad we hit the pole. plus we're both fine and so is the car. not so much for the pole haha but that's what those things are there for.
sooooo thats about it... good luck to the blue devils, you're all amazing and i know you are all doing amazingly well right now! love themm!

how much longer til spring?
well. so. i got a new phone the other day and i'm finally getting used to it. its a pretty color, midnight blue, and looks like a blackberry. it just doesnt slide up or open so that still confuses me. i keep trying to slide it open to send a message and i forget it doesnt do that. the buttons are tiny but slowly im adjusting to how to use this. i just dont prefer texting anymore, so text if its important but know i might not reply. calling is best, or fb message/chat me. im on during the day usually.
but seriously im getting fed up with this weather. one day its warm (35 or so) and the snow and ice turns to slush. the next day its 8 degrees and everythings frozen again. no one shovels the sidewalks on campus. i want to wear my uggs but i dont want to ruin them so i have to wear rainboots and they are not warm at all. so its either be warm and destroy uggs or be cold and dont destroy uggs. hard decision. also its hard to decide on whether or not layering up is a good idea. some classrooms have much better heat than others, so you dont want to be too layered or else you will sweat. but the cooler classrooms require you to keep a jacket on during class...so again, its annoying. it just NEEDS to be spring!! i'm sick of winter jackets and scarves and slipping in the ice and not wanting to ever emerge from my room because of the sub-zero temperatures. i want to go for walks again at night like i did in september. i want to go to class without a jacket at all, in flip flops and not worry about freezing my toes or wiping out on the walk to class. i want to wear all the cute spring clothes i bought over break!!!
but mostly i just cant wait for spring break because A) long island is warmer than fredonia and B) i will be home and not have to pay for food or share a room or have school for a week and C) i am turning 21 =) YAYYYY!!!! gonna be so awesome. but i want to go out and buy a cute outfit for my birthday and i cant be that cute if it still feels like alaska outside. oh well, maybe this means i'm meant to live in florida or something.
also i want to give a HUGE congrats to ryan for qualifying for diving nationals again!!!! we all believed haha =) kick butt this weekend!
and good luck to all the swimming and diving blue devils at sunyacs, you will all be amazing!!!!

so. my fone was beyond repair. i had to get it fixed or get a new one. so my awesome roomie agreed to take me today. we left our suite at 6...and then the fun began. we had to not only dig her car out of the inches of snow and thick layer of ice that covered her car, but also to dig out the snow under and behind her car. then thank god for jess dosser, she came and helped us. i had gloves with no fingers on them so my fingers were numb almost immediately (it was 12 degrees outside) and lindsay and i had to take turns digging out her car because we shared her gloves. then jess came and we tried to push the car, but we are just two small girls. i called some swimmer friends, and thank the LORD for brian matt and jordan...freaking lifesavers! they helped get the car out and pushed and if it wasnt for them we would still be stuck there. still, it took over an hour to get the car out of the damn snow and ice.
then we got to the phone store and that was a nightmare...not going to bore you with the details but i FINALLY got another fone because we had no upgrades (thanks to my brother who always breaks phones) and the warranty was up. so i got a cheap fone. i plan to buy myself a brand new NICE one in march over spring break, with the money i am making off this blog. this one literally does nothing, you cant lock it so expect butt dials from me, and texting is harder than calculus on this crappy thing. it is a nice color, tho. and thats the only thing i like about it--its midnight blue. and its light as a feather. but i miss my green samsung propel--sooo easy to text and call on! grr..
oh. and i got frostnip on 2 toes. its a less sever form of frostbite and i know thats what it is because i still, 3 hours later, have pins and needles and the skin is still blotchy red and stinging. aka, frostnip symptoms. so yea. greaaaaaaaaaaaat day. thats all, the end. OH and no one ever text me unless its an emergency..texting is just too difficult on this phone. calling is preferable.

can you hear me now?
UGH. my fone just about died. this is awful. and honestly if i was at home it wouldnt be a big dal because the at&t store is so close i could walk there, and they know my family (or at least recognize us) and this could have been solved this afternoon. however, the following things dont work on my samsung propel:
-any buttons
-calling
-recieving calls
-i can get a text but not be able to view open or reply to it
-i can SOMETIMES recieve calls but not hear anyone... but they can hear me
-this afternoon i could view messages but not reply now i cant do anything
-the alarms still work, tho... great
soooo get at me via fb, and someone tell my mom i wasnt ignoring her texts today! and i will borrow a phone to call tomorrow!!
but seriously, thank god im not having internet problems or id be having a fit by now -__-
ahh but seriously this is so annoying. what if something happens at home? what if something really good happens and my internet goes out so i cant even read emails about it or anything? seriously i hope the store in dunkirk doesnt give me problems..i didnt srop it or anything, and everyone says its def the phone being stupid. its a year old, this should NOT be hapening. i dont even use it that much!!!
ahh ok done venting. back to trying to make it magically come back to life! pray for it, or just believe =)

im rooting for either the packers or the steelers
sooo everyone knows the packers play the steelers today. and who am i rooting for? i dont even know.
my brother and dad and boyfriend are rooting for the packers so i'm leaning towards them. especially since at one point i had a nice packers shirt thats now too small, but i used to wear it to high school a lot. on the other hand, my future apartment-mate and my godfather are DIEHARD steelers fans. moreso than the bf, and my dads not a hugh steelers fan but the jets are out so he really has limited options. so idk who to root for. my eyeliner right now is green so maybe its a sign from god? maybe it means im meant to cheer on green bay. but i really like that song "black and yellow" so does that mean my subconscious wants me to want pittsburgh to win? AHHHHHH i dont know who to root for!!!
on another note, i am getting homework done later today in the afternoon when the library is empty because everyone will be at superbowl parties. not me. im not home otherwise id be with friends or my family. but no, no ones having good parties here except maybe the on-campus ones (which are good for the free food). honestly i dont mind, i'll just watch it here alone or with ppl in a dorm somewhere. as long as i get my homework done and relax alone, i'm fine with not paying too close attention to the score of the game.
and i know who i'm rooting for now. i had a revelation. i'm rooting for----

i'm a big kid now!
So. I have made some life changes the past 2 weeks. I have altered my sleeping habits dramatically. Anyone who lived with me last year knew that for me, going to bed early meant sometime before 2am. I was usually up til 4, had class at ten or eleven the next day, and constantly fell asleep or dozed off in class. I napped everyday and slept in til 4 or so on the weekends. It was awful. Now, I am going to bed btwn midnight and 1am. its a big difference--i am actually falling sleep right away and sleeping through the night, for once. I am up at a decent hour and havent fallen asleep in class yet this semester! I havent taken any naps this week and don't plan to (unless i get sick). This is definitely doing me some good.
I have also began to drink a lot more water because I was always getting thirsty and drinking sugary juice or soda which makes it worse. My acne has virtually disappeared since adding a bottle of water a day to my diet and thats sooo awesome! Anyone who knew me in high school knew it was a constant battle with my face to get rid of the acne. Cover-up only hid so much and I didn't hang out if i had a bad breakout. Now I just have to worry about my hair because its in the awkward "im growing out my hair and bangs" stage so its frizzier than usual and for some reason the blonde in it refuses to grow out! i cut all the blonde out this christmas (it gets super blonde in the summer) and yet the blonde remains. I guess i really am destined to be a natural blonde for life.
Also, I ambeing more responsible with my schoolwork. I am doing all the readings on time, participating more i class discussions, and am getting my assignments before dinnertime. very unlike the old me haha. im a procrastinator by nature. i'm also looking into internships and am doing some research on more companies to apply to right now as i write this blog. so i'm being a big kid for once in my life =)
however i am procrastinating a little bit...teen mom 2 is on mtv and i cant help but watch it as i browse the web...and play farmville to distract myself from my big kid duties of being a big kid. hahaha. oh and i have hall council tonight and i actually made the agenda! i usually write it up ten minutes before the meeting lol. im such a great president haha it like has 4 words on it but i know what it means so we're good to go. also anyone living in eisenhower hall--we are having a contest to design our hall t shirt so artists, get on it!!
kk back to reality and doing adult things again...as i watch reno 911!

please pack your knives and go
i love top chef, let me say that. i havent seen every season but i have seen the last few and currently the all stars is on. the episode tonight was pretty cool. fabio is basically a boss, tiffanys my girl and i would love to have either them two or angelo be my personal chef. fabios got the coolest thick italian accent and its hilariossss. this girl antonia, tho, shes soooo annoying. she cries a lot and tonight was an italian challenge and her dish was FRENCH and she won!!!!!!!!!!! ughhh. i hate her. i cant wait for her to be eliminated. she has been on the bottom for every single episode except this, and one other episode. the person who got eliminated tonight was trey...so sad, he looked like the kind of tough but lovable guy you'd want to have your back in a fistfight and then hold your hand during a sad movie. basically a gentle giant black man. too bad, he was mad funny and nice and better than antonia haha. i just cant stand her!!!!!!
i have to eat when i watch top chef because otherwise id get even hungrier and go on a binge eating everything i have in my room. so i ate pretzels and hummus and then some mini chips ahoy cookies. soooo good but with the italian challenge i kinda want some antipasti or penne right now. mmmmm penne alla vodka and chicken parm and garlic bread and everything else yummmyyy! everyone knows i love to eat, and i usually dont share. especially if there are fried oreos and off brand soda present hahaha.
basically anything they make looks amazing so idc what the judges say, im sure id love anything put on a plate for me! so now that trey has packed his knives and left, and i have to wait another week to get one person closer to THE top chef, i shall flip to comedy central and rot my brain from the colbert report and tosh.0 and maybe south park, if i'm lucky. i do love cartman's racial jokes hahaha

snow-pocalypse survival skills
so seeing as tonight and tomorrow i shall be snowed in, i have decided to write a few ways ot survive. most likely we won't make it through this storm, so everyone should prepare their wills just in case. on the off chance that some of us actually do survive this storm of death, here is what to do:
Today:
-stock up on food: non-perishables, like ramen and canned soup and crackers, pretzels, things like that
-get water (i know, its dumb to buy bottles water) or juice or whatever u like to drink
-make sure you have a bunch of blankets and cozy sweatshirts and fuzz socks and all that
-put off doing homework until we're definitely snowed in. why do it now? you'll be stuck inside tomorrow and probably bored since daytime TV is awful. and plus, if we all die, its not like you wasted time doing homework today right?
-get/borrow a book. in case the tv and computers go out, at least you can read to entertain yourself
-do laundry, if we have power. it takes a while and its nice to have warm clothes during freezing weather
-if you're really bored, work out. crunches pushups running in place, stretching...all good to do.
Tomorrow:
-pray that we survive while eating your canned food wrapped in a blanket doing homework
..i doubt we will make it out alive. if we don't, i hope someone can tell Harrison Ford that he is my favorite actor of all time and i have always thought he was good looking even when he got old.
until next post (if there even is one haha)

ps im totally being sarcastic in case you didnt realize that yet. some people freaking out over this snowstorm is hiarious and im making fun of the mass hysteria, i dont really think anyone's gonna die in this!
