WARNING: this is very random...
Man, this snow is crazy. My apartment parking lot is crazy. Okay, let's be honest, it's a joke! We haven't had a snow plow come through at all yet. But, luckily, they are having everyone clear the parking lot on Thursday, which will definitely be nice. Me and my roomies spent a great deal of time taking turns digging each other out. At one point, my car was completely covered and I had to push away some snow on a couple cars because I couldn't remember where exactly it was that I had parked. It's too bad that it took them so long to cancel school. I got screwed. They cancelled school at 3...I was done by 2:45 :(
One thing about the snow, and probably the only thing, is that it has brought out the "Good Samaritan" in me and my roomies. We have been pushing people's cars and digging people out all week. We even helped these random girls at 7-11 when guys were just standing there watching. Rude.
Monday night I had some people over, I think there were 8 people total. I made everyone some homemade lasagna. It was yummy! I haven't cooked a meal that isn't pre-cooked in a frozen box or "Just Add Water" in forever. (BTW, "Just Add Water" meals/food is genius, whoever invented should get a big pat on the back and a 2.7 million thumbs up)
Suprisingly, school has started out alright. I think it helps that I don't have classes 5 days a week. I think I will actually be more motivated to go to class because I only have class 3 days a week. So far, my professors all seem nice. They are all women this semester, which is odd. They are all funny and very relaxed and don't have the SUB disease**
As always, work is good. I worked on Monday, but then when it snowed so bad on Tuesday, I couldn't dig myself out. I called in and told them I wouldn't be coming in to work. My boss told me not to worry, that they were slow anyway and that unless a tropical heat wave hit down on Cache Valley, to not worry about coming in today either. I had already taken Thursday off, so basically I will only work 2 days this week, which is definitely nice to have some time off to get caught up on some random things.
Speaking of random things, I saw someone from my past that I have not seen in years. It was the strangest thing. I have been thinking a lot lately about when I was younger and the people I knew then and what they are doing now and wondering how they are. Then out of the blue I see this person. It left me all flustered and just...ugh. I said hello and made small talk. It was honestly really good to see this person. Then, I left and walked off. I wanted to run back and say something, but I just wasn't sure what that something was. Kind of like I needed to...I don't know exactly...I was just really flustered. Now, I'm regretting that I didn't go back to this person, although I'm still not sure what I wanted or should have said...
Speaking of regret...back in the day when I graduated from high school and I was going to go back East to be a nanny and then decided not to, I thought I was doing the right thing. I run into people/people's parents that have gone to Connecticut or something and I hear about what a wonderful experience they are having, and I have major regrets. I get this emptiness in my stomach like I should be there, doing that. Then at the same time, I thought I made the right decision when I made it. And it's not like I am not moving forward here. I have an awesome job and am going to school, etc. I don't know. I think that if I went to be a nanny, I would regret the great employment opportunity that I am having now. But I stay here, and regret not going to be a nanny. Ugh. I'm confused.
Hmm.
Sorry for the random thoughts.
