i have never

i have the flu. for real. the flu. stuffy nose, fever, horrible cough, headache, achy body FLU. So currently I'm sitting on my couch, not in class, resting and watching a marathon of all of the greatest chick flicks known to man, or woman rather. (Notting Hill, Love Actually, The Holiday, You've Got Mail.. you get the picture). And though it's nice to be on date with Hugh Grant rather than in class, I'm dreading the mountains of make up work I will be coming back to.

But you wanna know the worst part of having the flu? I've never had it before. Now normally this would be cause for celebration- I've never had the flu until my sophomore year of college? yay! How lucky I am to have a healthy immune system! But it's frustrating, too. You know the game "I Have Never" where you hold up 10 fingers and go around in a circle and say something you haven't done, and if you have done it, you put a finger down? (yes, I know this is a drinking game as well.. but I don't do that..) Well "i have never had the flu" was ALWAYS the card I played! EVERYONE has had the flu, and that was always sure to get someone out. Well gosh darn it, I can't say that anymore.

Okay, so maybe that's a little dramatic. I do feel very blessed that my immune system has held up until now.

Well, I'm off. Time for another nap.. prayers for fast healing would be greatly appreciated! :)

my hot valentines date: campbells and cough syrup

dancing dirt into the snow

Today is Saturday. The last time I went to class was Monday.MONDAY! We've had the past four days off from school because of SNOW. How fun is that? I think last year we had two snow days, but they were a couple of weeks apart. This year we've had a whole week of it! It has been so fun being able to just relax and look out the window to pretty things like this:

But the snow has definitely had some drawbacks. Since it hasn't gotten above freezing here, none of the snow has been able to melt. So, we've been stuck inside for the past few days. Can you say cabin fever!? I've watched more movies this week than I have in a looong time. (I think the count so far is 9!)

None the less, I LOVE the snow. It's so beautiful on the ground, and it feels AMAZING outside. Seriously, I think I was made to live somewhere up north instead of hot and humid Houston.

That's all I really wanted to say.. Not much has been going on due to the snowpocalypse. Sing song is really started to come together, and I can't wait for the show! School is going well.. the break this week was definitely needed though. I'm still getting used to balancing my time with my workload. I'm definitely read for classes to start up again.. not because I'm excited for school work, but because I'm ready to see people and see other things besides my dorm room!
