Day 41!

Today marked the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Tau Beta Sigma - Eta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Psi - Theta Beta.

"That the bond may never die."

It was amazing to be back in Boston to see all the new changes and the mix of old and new faces. I had a lovely time and it was a special night.

Eta Gamma, active and alumni.

"From this day, until I rest, with my sisters I am best."

Many more pics to follow on Facebook. I am now, however, off to sleep, happy, but tired.

Day 36!

I am really done with winter.

Yesterday's snow became evil solid ice mountains of doom! The fallen snow-ice could be broken but the deposit of the Evil Snow Movers (plows) were SOLID and twice as deep. My driveway's plow guy also plowed crooked; I believe to shift Snow Everest further into the backyard. His ventures, though of noble intent, made it impossible to get to my front wheel or make a u-turn escape route. It'd been nearly half an hour and I had barely made progress.

I called in back-up.

Aka. The math teacher drove down the road to give me a ride to work.

I was hoping the sun would show or that we'd get the promised rain and warm temps. Nope. Stayed cold and the snow stayed mostly solid ice.

Whilst settling back into my apt, someone shifted the mini ice range behind my car to not behind my car. Many thanks to Mysterious Helpful Plow. Perhaps he has relations to Mysterious Helpful Snowblower? In any case, I still had mountains to conquer. My giant ice pick and I took out some aggressions - I still have all my toes, I'm shocked, too - and the shovel survived the second venture after nearly succumbing in the morning.

My driveway's new addition: Snow K2! Snow Everest's got about 4 feet on Snow K2. Regardless, I'm proud of the creation! Haha

Now for some needed rest. Gosh that was exhausting!

Day 19!

Despite the day beginning with snow shoveling and fighting to get my car out of the driveway, it ended in the best possible way.

Paradise:

Hanging out at the bookstore in the city!

There's not much better than a comfy chair and being surrounded by books. :)

Today's work was all workshop but it was actually useful and insightful. I have found asking questions, commenting, and taking notes allow me to focus and learn - it's the way I am. Maybe the nooblet should sit and listen but then Id get nada out of it, so I talk and I wonder and I think. That is, as far as I know, what one is actually supposed to do at these things.

The other main thing on my mind? Spring. What is this mystical season?
