Another Day, Another Dollar...

I actually did find a dollar on the street the other day. It was pretty neat.

Anyway, it's been a somewhat less busy week, but the I've been pretty solidly doing stuff, from drill practice, to final bits of homework, to preparations for studying for finals. My studying will kick into full swing after class ends tomorrow and I get to the weekend...

But before that, I want to express the celebratory cheer!

SNOW!

At least a light dusting. It finally makes winter seem worthwhile. Well, kinda. Sunday night, we got a very decent amount of snow, and it seemed everybody on campus went out around midnight for snowball fights like the world has ever seen. It was absolutely perfect packing snow, and people took advantage of it. Dorms had wars against each other... (think 400 people in two battle lines charging at each other with war cries) people built statues (including one epic monument to male anatomy that I took great joy in leveling with a shoulder charge) and such. I heard at South Quad and West Quad, some of the football players were out there in the midst of it. Weird to think of, because normally you think of those guys as approaching celebrity level.

Unfortunately, after that great night, all the snow melted and we received the joy of 50 mph wind gusts of icy chill that cut through clothing like it was mist on a sunny day. Metaphorically speaking.

Enough of the weather... tomorrow, I get to go home! For... a few hours. I'm gonna head home about 330-4ish hang out for a while and see the family, then head over and watch the high school's play, "Scrooge." After that, I'll go to bed late, get a minimal amount of sleep, leave home at ridiculously early hours and get to Ann Arbor in time for Drill Team Practice, then Parade Practice, and then the End of the Year parade itself.

Then there's the Markley Ball, which is like informal, semi-formal, wear something mildly nice end of the year thing for our dorm. At least, that's what I got out of the ads. That's Saturday night, and then Sunday... I think just studying, although I could be forgetting something. I forgot to write down my schedule this week.

Anyway, have a good Christmas preparation! Hopefully I'll see some of you soon.
