Hello all!

Today was a snow day here at the University of Oklahoma. I was surprised to find out that President Boren records the message that goes out to students when the university closes; at Arkansas they always had a robot do it and it was very creepy. Since I have 2 of my 3 classes on Monday, it was like I missed a full week of 2 of my classes! One of my classes is coping by using the online discussion forum instead of class; the other class is just letting this week's material go. This means that I am done learning statistics - all I have left to do is my presentation!!

I've been making homemade lemon-limeade. It's tart, but so good! (Limes were 5 for $1 last week.)

I also made my Advent calendar last week. I cleaned out an old candle jar and attached some sequins before writing on the glass in Sharpie. I'm going to fill it with 25 thoughts of the day I wrote during Advent last year & read one a day! I'm also going to write new slips this Advent and make it a tradition!

I didn't get all the wax out. Oh well.

Related: We sang "Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates," my favorite Advent song, at church last Sunday. I thought that was strange since it's so close to Advent...

This past weekend I went home because Arkansas/LSU was on ESPN2 and I don't get that channel on the weird cable package at my apartment. It was definitely worth it to watch that game on tv. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG!!!!

On Sunday morning, however, the weather forecast changed so that snow was predicted all day for Norman. I skipped church to drive home so I wouldn't get caught in bad weather, which turned out to be a good decision!

I made pizza for dinner with homemade crust & sauce.

The crust didn't rise this time? The last time I made pizza I used the same recipe and the crust rose. Bread is weird.

The last picture I took of the snowfall before it got too dark outside. They cancelled school around 9 pm....but by 10:30 this morning, most of it had melted! I definitely would've been safe going to my 3:30 class, but the roads would've frozen by the time I got finished with class at 9 this evening, so I'm glad I didn't have to go.

One last observation on this snow day: How many people do you know that got a day off of school for heat when it wasn't hot outside and a day off for snow when there wasn't snow outside within six months? I am crazy good at getting out of school. :P
