Well for the first time this year, the university is closed for the day due to inclement weather. With a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain falling, I can see why they decided to close. I had checked the school's website around 7am, and noticed that it still said classes start at 10am, but then my roommate was notified around 8:30 that the university was closed for the day, thus meaning no classes. I'm happy about this because I was scheduled to have an exam in my Global Environment class, but now the exam will have to be pushed back to Monday, giving me two extra days to study.

So did anyone go out and watch the total lunar eclipse that occurred tonight? I stood outside for nearly 40 minutes watching it, snapping a few photos, and shooting about seven minutes of video. I finally came inside after my hands and feet became numb from the 20°F weather.
Here's one of the better photos I managed to capture of the eclipse:

I always tell myself I'm not going to procrastinate with my school work, but it always seems to happen. Almost every assignment I turn in is done at the last possible minute. And I'm not seeming to make any exception this semester. Six weeks ago, when the new term started, I knew that I was going to have some work to do, but that's normal. I was given the syllabi for each of my classes, and I largely ignored all of the due dates for assignments. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
For example, for my Popular Music class, I knew I had a paper due sometime soon, but I had no idea when, nor how long it had to be. Well, thanks to Jeff from across the hall who is in my class, I was reminded about the assignment tonight. It's due Tuesday! It's a 750-word paper critiquing a piece of music of our choice. I haven't even decided which song to write about. I'll do that tomorrow night.
Then there is my speech class. I can't even remember the last time I sat through a speech lecture. Either the instructor doesn't show up because he's sick or his car breaks down (he was absent two consecutive Mondays), or I'm sick and have to miss class. I finally showed up for the "break out" session last Wednesday, and people are already giving their first speeches. Then I find out I'm to go on Wednesday. Well, I think I'm officially screwed. I guess I'll just have to work my butt off Tuesday night, and hope to preform decent on Wednesday. At least the instructor seems like an easy grader.

...supposed to be this boring?
It's a Saturday night, and I'm just too bored. I've left the building twice today, once for lunch, and once for dinner. I quite honestly can't remember being this bored in quite here at school in quite sometime.
Sure, the new NASCAR season kicked off this weekend, and I've been watching SPEED Channel a lot, but the same few shows live from the track and the same commentators get boring after a while. As it stands right now, tomorrow's going to be even more boring for me, even though Daytona 500 qualifying will be shown.
And it still seems that I am feeling effects from my illness earlier this week. It feels like my stomach is very unsettled, and just the wrong foods will set it off again even though I haven't been "sick" in three days. Ah, well.
