Bored..

Well, I left the house at about 8AM this morning.. School was back on today. I drove around Lyons last night, and not a single business or residence had power even the gas stations were closed. I could still hear limbs crashing all night and this morning. I slept in my sleeping bag, which was actually a little bit toastier than expected. It was a little under 60 degrees in the house this morning before I left. Not sure what I'll do to entertain myself today...

No children playing here..

This is looking down my street. I took a walk around the neighborhood, the tree limbs are still crashing down. There were kids out enjoying the ice in the park; knocking icicles off of everything within reach.

Ice Storm

Throwing this together pretty hectic-like the lights keep flickering, and I'll probably turn off my computer so it doesn't catch a surge. It rained all night, and is still raining. I walked outside and tree branches can be seen and heard crashing down all over. They have canceled school today, so no finals for me!
I will get some more photos when it gets lighter and stops raining; this is from my porch. Sorry for the blur its still dark out =)

psst... vote for my photo..

Yes.. go vote for my photo, it will help me get a scholarship! You can even vote for it more than once.

You can have some fun looking at the other photos there too, some are kinda amusing.

Back in Lyons

Today marks the first official day back in Lyons. Not so excited about that of course. There is still some snow on the ground out here so they must have gotten a lot more than we did back home.
We were greeted by our freshly fired sculptures in our 3-D Design class today. For whatever reason I got a B+ on it, which i find strange. (88%) Don't be fooled by the photo this sculpture is a hulk! It's about 15 inches tall, and must weigh about 20lbs. It has a matching fish on the opposite side swimming upwards. I'm not sure how I want to finish it yet, but I'm leaning towards white with some orange on the fish.
This is also the first photo taken using my shiny new black friday special camera tripod. Maybe if I get adventurous I'll get out and do a night photo of some Christmas lights. Sure is cold though..

All for now!

Geek?

Fun little quiz I saw while checking out a Random blog. Not as geeky as I hoped. There were some tough questions in there!

Homer said it best...

No.. I haven't been reading any Greek tragedies lately, I'm talking about Homer Simpson and his "Doh!"
Life has thrown a good number of those my way the last couple weeks: my college dropped my major, I got lost trying to find a friends wedding, and as seen in the photo I most recently washed my flash drive that I use to cart my essays and photos around in.
Fortunately life continues on!
Luckily my flashcard still works, and as a bonus now smells great.

We've come to Thanksgiving break and I am thrilled to get to spend almost 5 days back at home. TG promises to be a treat this year; we are venturing away from the norm and spending it with Ron's family in LS. Other than that I think i'll spend time goofing off with Ron, spending some quality time with my favorite cows, and try to nab a few good deals on "Black Friday".
Not much to say other than that, back to packing!
