Oh hey, snow

The first big snow of the season is here! Usually I am fully enjoying it by romping around outside or cuddling inside and watching it all fall, except today I had to drive back downstate in it. A two hour car ride turned into three hours tonight. But, while the trip was annoying and long, I made it all in one piece. I think Marge is being nice now because I got her fixed and ready for the winter. Marge is the name of my car, by the way.

This weekend was a fun weekend spent in Mount Pleasant for graduation! My sister and boyfriend both graduated, and I'm very proud of them both. We experienced graduation in the new CMU event center, which was extremely nice and super-new. It was nice and comfortable and temperature controlled. Not like my graduation. Which was outside. They meant it when they said, "rain or shine." Because on my graduation day, the sun did shine for a few short minutes, and the rain came...along with the snow, and sleet, and wind, and lightning, and thunder. To help us out, CMU gave us trash bags for ponchos. But yet nothing for our thousands of family members sitting in the stands, many of whom ended up getting sick afterward. But it was worth it...(right, Gram??).

While it did stink to drive home for three hours, I love the fact that I can get back to a normal schedule again! I love that I can work out before I have to go into work and actually shower before I go into work and feel presentable. I did love my PSE, though. I learned so much and loved all of my staff. As days went on, while I may have had more problems come up, I felt comfortable enough to handle them on my own and staff began coming to me with their issues, which was really neat. I'm sad that my foodservice experience is officially over (still can't believe it!), but I'm more than elated to start my clinical rotation. 

And, in five days is my winter break! Two weeks where I can do whatever I want, including sleeping in, finally...

Oh, and guess what?! 199 days...
