Because I have a hard time rationalizing in my head that 50 degrees is cold enough to be covered head to toe in heavy clothing. Come on people, lets be a bit more hearty eh? Put your gloves, your scarves and your knit hats away. Its not cold enough yet. I swear to god if I see snowboots, I might point and laugh hysterically to the point where someone will call me in to the foam hospital.
And its SPRINKLING, not a freakin torrential downpour...put the umbrella away. You are not made of sugar, you will not melt..and repeat...
I had my first oral presentation today. For some strange reason my eyes clouded over when I started to read or my contacts went all weird on me because it was really fuzzy and I had a hard time reading. Never happened before and I wasn't all that nervous. My topic was on how personality can predict music preference and it generated some good discussion. I was happy with how I did and the result. I picked this particular topic because I am really into music and feel that music is one of the most important mediums in which a person can be expressive, gain confidence, and in some ways shape their values, beliefs and identity. I also don't think it is fair for the government or other bodies to censor music. Personal censorship should be more important. Obviously a 3 year old should not be listening to heavy metal or rap music, but if a parent is conscientious, this will not be an issue. I have differing views on what genres of music I like and do not like, but I don't promote censorship because I think it is an infringement on our basic rights.
I also finished my take home midterm tonight. It was a 5 question take home essay exam. It wasn't too bad, I just wish I would have started on it earlier instead of putting it off. I think I just work better under pressure because no matter how hard I try, I still manage to procrastinate. Things get done and I produce quality. Guess its just who I am.
I'm still on track to get through this week only slightly scathed. I'm staying on top of things as well and not falling behind due to the projects. I'm proud of that accomplishment.
My dad got the job!! Woo hoo!! I'm happy for him, it will be a good change for my parents. He owes me ice cream now since I helped his with his resume and letter. That was part of the deal. Hehe!
My boyfriend is doing great, he's at his first placement this week and next. He's excited about it and I'm happy that things are going well for him in school. We are counting down the days until my visit over Turkey Day. We don't have any major plans. I'll probably go watch him play hockey which I'm excited to watch. It will be great just to be together.
Well I'm off..night ya'll!

You would think they would ban umbrellas from the "windy city." You certainly don't see too many of them in Grand Forks!
Heh...its not really all that windy here...its basically the same as NoDak. And thats not even how Chicago got its nickname! Never knew that until I moved here.
