I awoke yesterday to a glorious white wonderland. It made this grey city shine and sparkle. I hope that I never grow so old or so serious that snow fails to make me smile.
This has actually been a wonderful week. Seattle, when I'm not in school, suits me perfectly. It's not that school is so bad, I just get really tired being taught everything by powerpoints, and some of the attitudes associated with the school. I just keep telling myself that if I can do this, it won't matter that I'm not enjoying it, it will pay off in the end. Er, so that was not the upbeat paragraph I was trying to write. Oops, redo.
This week has been fantastic. On Friday Dad came up and we went to a greek hole in the wall in my neighborhood. Amazing food, super cheap. We've hit up the Italian place, Romio's, a good three times since I moved at the beginning of the month too. I live in a delicious neighborhood.
Saturday I went to the U-District Farmer's Market with Sarah D. from school. It was a lot of fun, but freezing cold. We went to Chaco's Organic Cafe (I think that was the name), and had some delicious Egyptian Red Lentil soup. I had a great time. Poor Sarah, I think I talked her ear off. I don't get to be too social anymore. After, I headed to the Goodwill on the Ave, and found a classy pair of jeans for 10$. Not bad, since they retail at $185.
Sunday, Gabriele and I met up at the Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace for Harry Potter 7. I had a fantastic time! It started snowing before I got there, so of course I was thrilled with that. The movie was great, and we split a pitcher of mimosas (also great :p) and a pizza. Yum.
Monday, the snow really started coming down, and I made an executive decision not to go in to school. It would have taken twice as long to get to school as my class takes. Not worth possibly falling. So I had a day off, a physical therapy session, and mainly watched more online tv than anyone should.
Today school was actually canceled, which was great. I walked around town, got some Christmas shopping done, and cleaned a little house. I have steadfastly been avoiding homework, which is going to bite me in the bum soon enough, but I just don't care.
Cameron gets into the airport tonight, so Dad is driving to get him, then heading here. Looking forward to seeing him. Been almost a year.
Tomorrow we're going to check on Starla. I'm a little worried about her in the snow at this new place. They aren't exactly as diligent as Teresa was about taking care of the horses. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I want to see her, ride a little. I leave with a pic of me adventuring in the snow yesterday. Hopefully I'll remember to write over Thanksgiving break!
