joy in simplicity.

I feel like writing a blog, so I suppose that is what I'll do.

The new semester started a week ago. I like all of my classes, and all of the professors who teach them. It was a bummer to show up to my favorite class (I think) yesterday, to find out that all art classes were canceled. Fingers crossed for class to be in session tomorrow.

My English teacher is the bomb. She's funny, and she makes it worth it to show up to an 8 a.m. class. Speaking of English, I was so worried when I saw the huge literature book that I had to read for this semester, but this stuff is actually really good. Seriously, I'm sort of excited to go and take my reading quiz tomorrow.

There are over 70 students in my American History class. It's really intimidating. That's all.

And I have the same instructor for Math that I had last semester. She knows what she's talking about, and I'm hoping for another good grade in her class this semester.

It's chilly here. I'm thankful it's not as frigid as it is across the rest of the country. Did you know that 49 of the 50 states have snow on the ground right now? Can you guess which one doesn't? Hint: I live in it. ;-)

Pertaining to the cold weather, my mom made potato and leek soup for dinner tonight. It was the best to get home from my class, plop my books on my bed, and scurry into the kitchen and ingest some of the best soup I've ever had the pleasure of eating. My mom also made pumpkin/cranberry/walnut/oat bread. That was pretty amazing, too.

Tell me, how have you all been spending the past couple of days in the snow/cold/chill?
