Hello world.

This is my hand.

whoa.

Yesterday, (which was originally "Today" but one (and very likely the only) of my faithful readers came into my room. hi kat!) I finished Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. And besides absolutely loving the book, I keep thinking: HOLY CRAP WHERE HAS THIS BOOK BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE???? I'm reading it again as soon as I finish my physics project. [[BOO PHYSICS PROJECT!]] I don't really know how to describe my love for this book. I put off doing my physics project because of this book. I put off doing French homework to read. I tried to learn my lines so I could go read. And the best part is, I don't have to have it finished until Wednesday! I never read ahead. Not because I only do the minumum, but beause I don't want to be confused or blurt out something that "hasn't happened yet" in class. However, Toni Morrison prevented me from being able to control myself. Instead of going to sleep, I read another chapter. Instead of trying to figure out how to get everything settled for the Angel Bowl, (besides the fact I am terrified of making phone calls), I finished the book. I'm really glad that I got to workout on Friday because I think my legs would have rebelled against me some time this weekend. This is because the chosen reading position for Song of Solomon was with my legs on top of my desk/table in courtyard. 90% of the book was read in this position and therefore my legs fell asleep constantly. (My chosen position for reading Things Fall Apart was under my desk...YES I'M A FREAK). Anyways. This was supposed to be about my love of Song of Solomon and my wondering about why I've never read this book before, not the process of me reading it! Well, I can't really describe why I love it yet. It's just AMAZING. And if you haven't read it, you totally should. "It's not weird!!!!" And then you should pretend that your teacher is Dr. Thomas. Because then the book will be even better. In fact, your entire life will be better because your life can only be better when Dr. Thomas is in it. Okay, I will not get sappy just yet. Song of Solomon was beautiful, Toni Morrison is a genius, and I can't wait to read it again.

Well then!

From the Appalachian State Class 2013 Facebook group:

Appalachian & Boone received 12" of snow Sunday night/Monday morning. This is the biggest snow event in one day since Jan. 27, 1998. Get used to checking this website often: http://booneweather.com/Forecast/Boone

Appalachian canceled all classes on Monday. This is something that rarely happens at ASU. We hope you all are ready for snow!

He has two mommies

Tomorrow will probably be the last snow day I will ever encounter. App State doesn't cancel school for snow. Unless students are getting frostbite and the gas is freezing in their cars. and last time that happened was like 1984.


I'm sad that I'll only have English class once this week. BUMMER.
