February will be Fabulous

I don't really think that a month could start off as good as it did today. I woke up this morning looked out the window, and saw the most amazing sight . . . snow! Now, I know not everyone agrees with me on this one, but I love snow and everything about it. And it's only February first so people need to stop complaining about it, you've got months to go people till this weather changes. So, that just put a smile right on my face. Then, I remembered my dad calling last night saying he was coming to visit. He had to drive to Dansville today, which is about an hour away, so he decided he would come have breakfast with me. Even though my class schedule only permitted us to each at the Campus Center, it was the perfect pick-me-up. Because I have my own car here, my dad has yet to see my dorm room this year - so that was exciting. Besides the whole going to class thing, the rest of my day was nice and relaxing. So I say, bring it on February! If today was an indication about how the rest of the month goes, I can't wait.
Now, the thing with going to Elmira College is that it is nearly impossible to get a snow day so I wasn't really surprised when I still had to go to class today. Last night there was a winter weather watch for our county so I went online to see what the forecast was . . . 3-7 inches. That constitutes a weather watch? That's just a winter day where I'm from. Back home they're getting FEET of snow. So, as I do join in complaining about walking to classes today I didn't really think a closing was necessary. The fact of the matter is, Elmira College doesn't have snow days because it never snows enough here. Which I guess could be a good or bad thing depending on your view of snow. But, just to be safe I'll probably sleep with my PJs inside out tonight with a spoon under my pillow. Ya know, a girl can dream can't she?
So I decided that I would play intramural volleyball. And by decided I mean I got a text from a friend saying "hope you wanted to play because you're on our roster." I didn't play last year so I didn't really think about it, but I am so glad that I was put on a team. It's an all girls team made mostly of JV players and the rest are athletic. Our first game was last week and we beat boys from the Men's LAX team! It was pretty amusing to see them get frustrated I must admit. Our record is 2-0 but we have a game tonight with some stiff competition. Alright, so I could end by saying I have to go study, but lets be honesty - that 70s Show is on. Okay, bye!
