Super Bowl XLII and Other Things

I had an awesome week last week. One of my classes was canceled three times in a row because my professor was sick, so I didn’t have that class the whole entire week! The extra time allowed me to eat lunch on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when I normally would have had to skip lunch or have a really late lunch due to back-to-back classes. 


I am really enjoying my typography class. I started off not knowing anyone in the class. All of my friends in design had registered for typography at another time or with another teacher. However, I am starting to get to know my typ. classmates a little better, and we are having a lot of fun. Our first project is due on Thursday, so hopefully I’ll be getting a sense of the teacher’s grading soon after.


The weather here has been interesting. It was really cold and windy a couple of times and snowed once. Then, on Friday, it was cold, rainy, and very windy. Walking all the way to north campus was miserable! My pants got soaked, and they were icy cold. Luckily, one of my friends picked me up after class and drove me back to my dorm. Otherwise, I would have had an awful time walking back. Yesterday, on the other hand, was gorgeous! The temperature was in the mid 40s, and the sky was a brilliant blue. So, I guess fluctuating weather is just something that comes with the territory. 


My weekend was fantastic. I went to Providence and then to Wheaton on Friday night and saw one of my friends from home. We saw Enchanted, which is a really cute movie. I spent the night in my room, but then I went back to Wheaton on Saturday and saw my friend dive against Bates and Tufts. Swim meets are really fun to watch, so I had a great time. 


Sunday was spent thinking about the upcoming Super Bowl. I went to a nearby dorm to go to a party and watch the game. My friends ordered too much food, so we had tons lying around afterwards. That was one of the worst Super Bowls I have ever seen. I was so angry! How could the Patriots blow their perfect record like that? Job NOT well done. To all you Giants fans...congrats. At least I like Eli, so I guess the Pats loss wasn’t all that bad. No, actually it was. I screamed and yelled and generally looked murderous last night.


Ok. That’s all for now.


Ciao!
