Spring.

Today it hit about 90 degrees, and it was absolutely wonderful.

After volunteering at an Easter Egg Hunt this morning and apartment-hunting this afternoon, I went and got frozen yogurt and then laid outside and did nothing/took a nap for about two hours. I brought a book with the intention of being productive, but ehh.

This is the part of the semester when productivity becomes near impossible because all you want to go do is sit outside. Nebraska is kind of known for having crappy weather, but it has its fair share of absolutely gorgeous days. I spose I should also mention that it's incredibly humid and we're in a tornado watch until 1 am, but I'll take what I can get. It's nice and warm outside.

This is also the part of the semester when everybody and their mother are trying to find apartments. It's a bit crazy. My future roomies and I don't have a place picked out yet, but we are on a waiting list and have a few more places to look at. I won't be homeless! (That's always good...)

This is also the part of the semester when everyone starts hating college. Ok I love college, but I am SO ready for summer. 3 weeks left! EEK!

Is it Friday yet?

You know how when something important is coming up, the days....just....drag....on...sooo....sloowwwlyyyy...

This has been the longest week ever, and it's only Monday. It's a bit depressing, actually. I don't know if I can make it two more weeks until Thanksgiving break...and then two more weeks until finals....and then Christmas break!

It will be amazing.

And I'm having a really hard time realizing that it's November already and that there really are only two weeks left until break, mainly because it's 60 degrees outside. What the heck, Nebraska???

Not that I'm complaining. It's beautiful out =)

Highlight of the Week: Huskers>Sooners. Enough said.

Survival.

Surviving college is not all that hard, at least so far. You just gotta know some stuff.

Like don't sit by people with laptops in lecture classes. I spent almost the entire 50 minute class period watching the guy I sit by play solitaire and the kid in front of me play some game where you throw turtles.

I sit in the second row.

Also, I found out sometimes it helps to study someplace other than a dorm room. There's just something about that I can't focus on anything. Go to a study room if you want quiet or the dining hall if you need background noise. I can't do anything in complete silence. It drives me crazy. I always bring homework to breakfast, especially if I don't have anybody to go with. It's nice. My new favorite place though is the Coffee House. Bring your laptop, grab a mocha, be productive. I was there for like 3 hours the other day studying for my biology test.

And finally, you gotta learn to outsmart the weather. You know how in movies when it's really windy and the umbrellas turn inside out? That totally happened to me today. Also, it's probably not a bad idea to invest in a pair of rain boots. Chuck Taylors do not cut it.

Tip of the Day: Well, I already had like three, so we'll call that good.
