So I am working in the library today and it is pretty deserted. I work in the computer labs all over campus, but the library is usually the busiest. It was weird walking to work today - roads and sidewalks were completely empty. Typical Sunday morning before noon in Bloomington.

Everyone was out of town this weekend! Both of my roommates were out of town so I had the house to myself for the whole weekend. Weird. I would like to say I got a ton of homework and reading done, but somehow not having any distractions was REALLY distracting.haha

My classes are going well so far this semester. On Thursday my creative writing class read my short story. The reviews were mostly positive, though there were some holes left in my story that I could not see while writing it. It was really complicated.. next time I will try to make my story a little more understandable.

This semester has been unlike any other, in that I only have ONE class with a group project! Our project is due in a couple weeks, but as far as I know that is all I have to do with a group this semester. It is amazing to realize how much time group work can take up.

Next weekend is the annual Women in Business conference! Our club has been working on it all year and we are going to have some amazing speakers. Valerie Grubbs, former COO of the Oxygen Network, will be our keynote speaker. Get the application online if you're interested: www.indiana.edu/~wib

Valentine's Day!

I am working on making the "semi-ultimate" cheesecake for my boyfriend today. I can safely type this on my blog because I know he does not read it ;). Anyway, our plans tonight are dinner at La Dolce Vita and maybe the movie Valentine's Day.

Everyone is so obsessed with this movie - by 4pm on Friday all the showings for the night were sold out. We are buying our tickets in advance for today.

There is another winter storm watch in effect for tonight! Yet again, 5 to 7 inches of snow is expected in some areas of southern Indiana. Regardless, we are not going to get out of school and it is going to be terrible to have to walk to work in the snow :(. Only a few more months until summer though!

This weekend has been really fun. Last night I went to see the Raas Royalty dance competition in the IU Auditorium with some friends from WIB (Women in Business). Schools from all over the country were there competing in Indian dance. The costumes were amazing, the music was good, so it was an entertaining night.

I will write again next week with how my V-day went!

This was the weekend of the big blizzard! It actually was not too terrible. It snowed maybe 5 inches over night, but the city had everything cleared off the roads by this morning. Last night was NOT fun though. I was driving my car that is not made for snow and I got stuck going up hill. My car would not budge. Some guy ended up running up to my car and trying to push, but to no avail. I eventually made it to eh parking garage and left it there over night for fear that I would perish on the icy roads driving that thing.

Anyway, the storm is mostly over now so I am sitting in my house today with the goal of finishing two papers that are due on Tuesday. Right now I am working on my creative writing short story. I am not that creative - sorry to everyone that has to read it...

Last night I went to the Opera! It was Lucia de Lammermoor and all I have to say is the lead soprano was one of the best I have heard at IU thus far. I have been to several operas here, but she was just amazing. Going to the opera is sometimes an awkward experience though, because I always have to go by myself. I go to watch my boyfriend mainly because he plays in the orchestra, but no one will ever bring themselves to go with me, haha. Last night I got lucky though - I randomly saw my friends during the intermission and we ended up sitting together - much better.

In other news - I found out bad news about graduation this week. I found out I am 3 credits away from graduating in May. Big shock - it happened because my creative writing class, which counts for my English minor, does not count as an A&H distribution. I appealed it to the school and should hear something next week. Regardless, I signed up for a second eight week class that will count - so my bases are covered and I WILL graduate in May. yay.

Will post again soon. Gooo COLTS! Superbowl party tomorrow should be fun!
