After a refreshing mid-week snow day free of classes and meetings, this was a pretty busy weekend… full of rescheduled meetings and, of course, all work I had put off in anticipation of cancelled classes. On top of that, Friday was spent at the LGBTQ retreat, followed by a rather tense e-board meeting, which for some reason we thought this would be a good idea after 4 hours of conflict resolution and True Colors (I always turn out to be a green-gold, and apparently it says a lot about me… not sure what my friends mean by THAT). Saturday I was up at 7am for a flea market excursion in the deathly cold weather, followed by an aquarium visit with Kayla’s family and best friend, Morgan (one of our future housemates!). The picture today is one of those fake Polaroids made using an iPhone app, which I’m having way too much fun with… there are about a million different photo apps available to download, apparently. I’m only sorry that while playing around with it, I forgot to take a picture of the penguins — Kayla was overjoyed at the sight of them, probably more so than her younger siblings and cousins. She even has a giant stuffed penguin named Professor Svelter, and I’m married to him on the Demarest Family Tree. There was a wedding and everything.
Luckily, Hall Government was cancelled tonight so that the love birds amongst us could spend the evening fornicating, and the rest of us learned about and composed erotic fiction in the Main Lounge (a joint section between Creative Writing and Sex, Sexuality & Gender — it’s a hit every year). You’d think the cancelled meeting would allow for plenty of free time, but somehow I ended up still awake at 1:30, blogging instead of sleeping… I should really work on that, considering I wake up at 6:30 during the week…
Wow, actually you sound really busy, despite the cancelled meeting! It’s funny how when meetings are canceled there’s always something else to put in its place. Also, I love the photo! I’ve never been to an aquarium, but I love zoos – there’s something about seeing animals you don’t normally see that’s just really exciting and adventurous.
