My email:
“Syracuse University classes starting at 2 p.m. or later today, Thursday, Feb. 25, are canceled, including University College classes and Drumlins Tennis co-curricular and physical education classes.”
Pure crazyness I tell you! SU never ever ever closes. And well, honestly, it has barely snowed here. I mean, not even enough to tell the difference from when we got up this morning. ?

At night my mind comes alive, with the stories of yesterday, today, and sometimes if I’m lucky, tomorrow. I’ve always said I could probably write a novel during a bout of insomnia. My problem is the lack of motivation to actually write. I prefer just laying there with the stories floating around in my head. I’m a much better at creating in my head than actually putting the words down. So to actually take the step of pushing myself to write things down would be amazing, and not a step, in my 27 years, that I have been willing to take. Maybe someday.
Over the years I’ve had many people assume a lot of things about me. Maybe that’s true for everyone, but for me it seems that I’m above average (have to excel somewhere, right?) I’ve heard many times “I didn’t know she did this,” or “I didn’t know she liked that or was even interested in it.” I guess maybe the problem is that I seem to keep changing myself. I think you have to, to keep life interesting. At least it’s true for me. Seems I’ve been victim to the negative though. Some people seem to think that I’ve spent my life being a student and not getting out of the house. Or living what other people have deemed as a pretty boring life. People also assume that I don’t know things, or that I have not experienced much. I’ve spent many hours of my life horseback riding, then painting, then playing tons of field hockey with my sisters, to being able to play five different instruments at one time (I doubt I remember anymore…) I also snowmobiled for much of my childhood (I used to have my own little one, and I lived on it). I’ve moved so much, that I keep losing myself, or at least little parts of myself, when I move on to a new place. Obviously stopped snowmobiling in Florida, and that’s when I took up rollerblading. I took my rollerblades everywhere, and also biked. When I lived in Florida is when I started my interest in birds, and eventually owned one (I would love to own another). For a few years I went to probably a dozen concerts a year, and now I haven’t been to one in over 4 years. There was a year that I took up hiking with a good friend, and truly enjoyed it. In high school my father decided we were going to be very interested in 4 wheelers, and we spent many weekends 4 wheeling up on my uncle’s land. I wish people would stop assuming they know me. I barely know me. I’ve gone through so much in my life, with moving a hundred times, and going to 7 different schools, it has shaped who I am, or who I’m not.

I have really sucked with updating. Gotta say Brandon isn’t helping though!
So I’m in Florida, finally. We left the house a little before 6 in the evening on Tuesday, and I didn’t arrive in Florida until almost 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon. How insane is that. Our flight left over an hour late on Tuesday, so I missed our connection flight. Which stranded us in D.C. overnight, and when we got to D.C. we had to wait in line at the United Customer Service for about two hours at 11 o’clock at night. Sounds rough for me, but for a 3 year old, it was hell. We luckily got put up in a hotel, and got about 5 hours of sleep. Then our flight was supposed to leave at 8:40, but we were stuck sitting on the plane waiting for them to fix it for about 4 hours. I’m not kidding. We were just sitting in the plane. Poor Erik…we didn’t get to eat or anything. Erik didn’t eat for almost two days. I felt horrible.
We are here now though, and everything is good. Erik and I haven’t left the house since we got here now. Haha.
Caitlyn is happy, though.

So I had today “off.” My professor canceled class in spirit of the holiday, and so people could go home earlier. As I’m not a normal college student, and I’m already home, it turned into a day off for me. I still took Erik to daycare today, as he only goes one day a week, and it’s already paid for. I really really really really should be working on homework. I have a book that I need to read asap. But alas, I’m sitting on my computer doing nothing.
I spent a large majority of the afternoon playing scramble. I’m seriously insane sometimes. I kept getting in first place online over and over and over again, so then it became addicting. I think I ended up in 1st place at least 90% of the time. Damn me and my extensive vocab. Or my extensive playing of scramble which has made my vocab extensive. Whichever gave where, who cares, it’s fun. And I really should be cleaning. And giving Drake a bath. And DEFINITELY reading for school. So, I’m going to go, and pretend that I’m going to do that, when I probably won’t. Ha.

So, in less than 24 hours we will be seeing New Moon.
I’m normally anti-mega-popular-culture. Well that was before Harry Potter. Before Lord of the Rings. And DEFINITELY before Twilight. Ugh. What has happened to me? Pretty soon I’ll be putting posters of Robert Pattinson up on my walls. Someone shoot me.
Anyway, speaking to my not-so-sane-child-like-psyche at the moment, I think it’s great. Actually, freaking awesome. I would use worse expletives but as I have a 2 year old and I try not to curse out loud, I fear that writing it would be just as bad. These are definitely my favorite books. I put off reading them forever, because I figured after my Harry Potter obsession/fiasco that I would never get roped into another over the top teenage girl obsession again. Well, screw it, I was absolutely wrong. More wrong than wrong could possibly be. I have read the 4 books more times than I have read all of the Harry Potter books combined, and we all remember my HP days. *sigh* I really should be reading engrossing ethnographies, and books on gerontology, and on sexual disorders that actually apply to my up and coming promising, very interesting (!) career. But no, I’m reading about vampires, along with the 9000000 other sickeningly infatuated girls. Oh well. Can’t deny what makes you happy. So, go to Stephenie Meyer. She, totally, rules.
