Last night was easy. First I got an e-mail about bellydance classes being canceled this week due to a furnace blowing up or something like that at the studio. Then my 4:00 class only lasted an hour (whoot!). Its looking like this class (Evaluation Research) will be a good one. There won't be too much time spent on reading/writing but it will be a very creative and thoughtful class. It will also help me out A LOT in my job. This class is one of the reasons that I won't be done with school in the summer, but I still think it's worth it.

I spent $200 on books for two classes and only $30 of that was for last night's class! The other professor (and also the head of the program and my adviser) likes to pack on the books/money to us, blech!

After reading all of the material for next Monday's class last night (I'm going to try and do the related weekly paper during lunch at work today) we watched a bit of TV before heading to the bedroom for some snuggle-time. I finally caught some of Headbanger's Ball! I had never, ever seen it before (my parents didn't have cable). They played a video from the band http://www.evergrey.net/ and I liked the song ("Blinded") quite a bit. I'm going to have to see if I can dig up a CD.

Snow

A meeting scheduled for 9:00 tomorrow morning was canceled due to the impending snow storm. They figured since the three people presenting reports (one of them being me) had long commutes anyway adding snow on top of that wouldn't result in us showing up by 9:00. Now I'll spend my afternoon pulling together files that I can work with at home (for confidentiality reasons I'll have to strip certain info out of the database to make it HIPAA complaint to have at home). My boss told me to just head in late if the roads were really bad in the morning.

Who knows, maybe they'll even cancel my class at Umass Boston tomorrow night :)

I'm happy for the breaks, but I'd also like to hurry up and fall into the normal spring semester routine too, you know? I've always thought that the anticipation of something bad was always harder to deal with than the actual bad things themselves.
