Well, here we are, almost to the middle of February and it's only snowed a little bit in Sewanee. My mother tells me that it continues to snow in Jackson, so much so that she and my dad can't go to work.
I'm jealous. They'd never cancel classes for snow in Sewanee... they'd just dig tunnels to the academic buildings so we could go. Ugh.
I've been ridiculously busy for the past couple of weeks. First it was Rush - Formal House, Return House, and Shake Day. Then there was a lot of reading to be done for various classes. Then it was Prom, and Crush Party. And now it's papers. I have a paper due tomorrow (Tuesday), two Thursday (for the same class!!), and one next Tuesday, a week from today. I've finished the one for tomorrow, thankfully - all that's left is proofreading - but I still haven't gotten anything of note done on the rest.
As for the funeral, that's where I stopped in Mothwing late last week before turning it in to Kevin - poor Gideon had to watch his own funeral (can you imagine how awkward that would be? Ick.) I haven't had a chance to go back to it yet, due to all these stupid papers, but I plan on working on it tonight. Kevin has introduced me to a writing program called Ommwriter that I am absolutely in love with - it essentially takes over your whole screen with this nice white picture of some trees in snow and you type in the middle of it and it plays various ambient sounds like ocean waves (my favorite) and it's just awesome. Yep. So go look!

They have a nifty video and everything.
In other news, I have started going to the gym. I know, scary, right? But it's becoming a regular thing since Elizabeth, Jessica, and Kayce all go regularly, and Eliza goes sometimes too. And today I met a man named David Coe while I was on the stationary bike. I accidentally threw my iPod at him and then later he introduced himself because of a book I was reading (The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan, fourth in his Wheel of Time series). Apparently Mr. Coe also writes fantasy for Tor, Robert Jordan's publisher. I am to read one of his books whenever I finish with Robert Jordan. And I think I will. It was just weird enough of an encounter to make sure I do, eventually, lol.
