Back in the Arctic Tundra

While I'm not really in the Arctic, I feel that way at least. I left Friday morning to spend the weekend in Rochester, and while I was having fun in New York, it was slowly blizzarding back here in State College. When I got back, I couldn't even park my car. Not because the parking lot was full of cars, but because it was full of snow - the only way it is possible to park anywhere is to park in a spot that somebody has already pulled out of. About eight inches of snow fell here between Friday night and Saturday. And we're getting hit with another snow storm tomorrow. Great. So now you understand why I'm back in the Arctic!

But the snow is actually a savings grace. I have so much work to get done, it's probably best that I never want to leave my room and go outside. I'm slowly starting to chip away at the mountain of work that's looming over my head, but a start is better than nothing. And at least this time I don't have tonsillitis.

Yes, that is correct: my recent case of sickness is passing, thankfully. My throat still hurts from time to time, and I legitimately think that my tonsil is scarred, but at least I can actually function without feeling like I'm going to pass out. In four more days I'll be out of antibiotics, and hopefully I will finally be able to say that I'm healthy once again.

Hopefully is the key though, especially since four days from now is Friday, which means the weekend. And while it might be Valentine's Day weekend, the one weekend I dread every year, I'm actually a little excited for it this year? I might actually have plans... as in a date. When do I even have a date on normal, everyday situations, let alone for Valentine's Day? So yeah, it's a pretty big deal. Which is one more reason why I need to get my shit done, so I have less to worry about. But hopefully I'm not jinxing myself and my plans for this weekend actually follow through, because, for once, I might actually have a very happy Valentine's Day.
