Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!

So earlier this weekend it was nice and warm (by warm I mean about 40 degrees), raining and most of the snow had disappeared. I woke up this morning and there was another foot of snow on the ground. The weather in Potsdam, NY is CRAZY! This happens every year, one day it will be warm outside and the next there will be snow! Last year we got a ton of snow at the end of April during finals week, who knows when it will stop snowing this year. By this point of the year, I am so sick of all of that fluffy white stuff. The first snow fall is always nice, and I do like to occasionally go skiing but by mid-March seriously, enough is enough.

The picture I posted here is from a few weeks ago. Just wanted you to see that I wasn't kidding around about the amount of snow around here. Believe it or not my car is under there and I had to dig it out. Luckily, some random people helped me unshovel my car and then push it out. Here's to hoping the snow stops!

The end of an era

So Senior year is flying by, we only have 7 more weeks left and then graduation! It is hard to believe that 4 years has almost gone by already. We got our exam schedule for finals yesterday, I have 4 finals but will be done by Wednesday night. I have never been done before Thursday, so this is exciting news. I am moving to Boston in June so I need to start doing some serious apartment hunting. I will be flying a lot for my job so I would like to live somewhat close to the airport. I am definitely ready for some big changes after being at Clarkson for so long. :)

3 weeks until spring break!

So I finally booked spring break the other night, and I will be headed to Orlando, FL! My cousin goes to college in Orlando, and said that I could crash at his place so I was definitely not going to turn down a free place to stay. I am a little disappointed that I won't be on the beach, but his apartment has a pool so I can still work on my tan, lol. I was just in Orlando in November and had a great time, I went to Disney World and stayed at the BoardWalk Inn. Matt and I are thinking of going to SeaWorld this trip, and looking into what else Orlando has to offer. We might head to one of the water parks that are in the area, or even check out Disney again. It is funny how I hadn't been to Orlando in years, and now I am going to be there twice in six months. This will be Matt's first time there, I am excited for him to have the experience! He has never been to Disney World so I don't think we can pass up Disney. Anyways, I am so excited for warm weather and hopefully sunshine!

Heart Day

I hope everyone had a really great Valentines Day this year! This was the best one I have ever had, thanks to Matt! :) In the morning Matt brought me home-made, strawberry, heart shaped waffles! They were so delicious, and I was so surprised - it was a great start to the day! Then later that night we went to the 1844 House for dinner and had the best meal that I have ever had! We each started with a glass of the riseling wine, which was delicious. We have tried this type of wine on a wine tour we went on over the summer and knew that we loved it. The waitress then brought out delicious bread with homemade honey butter. We ordered 1844 house salads which consisted of romaine lettuce, apple pieces, walnuts, blue cheese and a house vinagairette dressing. It was seriously one of the best salads I have ever eaten. I ordered the herb-dijon encrusted salmon, and Matt ordered a strip-streak with mashed potates. Both of our dishes were fabulous, we were so impressed. After that we ordered dessert, which was an espresso chocolate mousse. Again, it was so delicious! When the waitress brought us out the check we were given a complimentary chocolate covered strawberry. The food was seriously so good. It is a bit pricey so we can't eat there as often as we like but it was defintely worth the price.
On top of the food, the ambiance of the restaurant was also really cool. There was a woman who walked around playing the violin. There was also a magician there who acting as the house entertainer. He was very good and at first we were hoping he wouldn't come bother us but after he did his magic tricks we were glad he stopped by. Overall, the perfect Valentines Day. :)

So I guess I am going to tell you briefly about the classes I'm taking, I'll try not to bore you. On Mondays my only class is neurobiology, which so far hasn't been too bad (with the exception of the first test :x), but I am really worried that it is going to be very difficult for me because I don't have much of a background in Biology. I had to take this class because I had a conflict with another Psych class I needed to graduate, and neurobiology was the only other option I had. On Tues/Thurs I am taking Advanced Topics in Supply Chain Management, a Negotiations course and Environmental Supply Chain Management. On Thursday I am in a night class, Quality Management. So most of my classes are pretty supply chain intensive this semester.

We have a break coming up so it will be nice to not have to attend class for a couple of days!

Well I am about a month into the second semester of senior year, and it is about the time I typically start looking forward to spring break. Unfortunately I am having a difficult time finding a place to go for Spring Break this year, . .I want to go some place warm, but I don't really want to spend too much money. I am going to need to save all the money I can now for when I move to Boston this summer. A few ideas that have been tossed around for spring break are an all inclusive resort in Cancun, staying in Miami, staying with my cousin in Orlando, trying to find an affordable spa/resort in the North East, or Las Vegas. So clearly I am all over the place.

Last spring break my boyfriend and I went to Fort Lauderdale and had a great time, but this year everything is so much more expensive.

Well heres hoping that warmer days are in my future! :)
