I've Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
Oh holy crap. I can see on my calendar that the end of April is not far away and I am both terrified and relieved. Cross your fingers that I make it there.

Pardon Me, Boy- Is That the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Well, okay. They're calling it Snowmageddon. And the Snowpacolypse. And the SnOMG storm and the like. The storm that rolled into Pittsburgh on Friday and left the city buried in almost two feet of snow is actually really hilarious to me. I had an awesome weekend.
On Friday, I went over to CLRG's house before it got too bad. We were just expecting a foot or so, but I didn't want to be stuck on the road with people who didn't know how to drive in the snow. When I got there, he and his roommate C and I walked to Applebee's for dinner. Then, we went to KMart to get him some boots. We meandered home, admiring the cars stuck on Braddock, laughing at people, and chatting with the police officer that came to check out the car that was smashed into a telephone pole. Saturday morning, CLRG and I woke up and peered out the window. We decided it would be a really good idea to go out. So, we did. We found the snow up to our knees. We trekked to Eat n Park, where we heard that the manager had had to stay overnight. We went to Giant Eagle to get some food. We trekked home. Later, we dug my car out from the pile in which it was buried. Okay, though. I'll be fair: CLRG, C and HatNick dug it out while I watched. I made them tacos afterward. I was supposed to work on Sunday morning, but the roads were too scary and I called off.
I finally left CLRG's house on Monday morning to make it home in time for work at 7am. Buuuuut I made the mistake of driving onto a side street. I got stuck. After some pushing and digging and the like, I got it off to the side and made it to work by 8:30am. This morning, I got K to come over and, with the help of two older gentlemen, we got my car out of the space and I got gas and drove around trying to find a parking space that was not already taken up by a chair. Not finding any, I took my chances and drove onto my street, parked in my landlord's driveway and dug a spot out. Now my car is parked and I will probably not move it for a while. Ha.
Classes were cancelled yesterday and today. I wonder about tomorrow, because there is more snow happening at the moment and we're supposed to get up to ten more inches by tomorrow night. Or something. I can't keep track.
Oh, Pittsburgh. Oh, snow. Happy Winter.

Relax
I really, really feel like I am drowning. There is more schoolwork to be done than I have time and motivation for. Seriously. This is the most ridiculous semester I've had in a while.
In other news, Valentine's Day is soon. I don't know what CLRG and I are doing, but I'm sure it will be something nice. Last year, we made dinner together and hung out. I suspect we will do something similar this year.
Pookie's bridal shower is in a month! I have to get cracking.
