Life in general

So today i realized that there is only 5 weeks left until the end of the semester. I can't believe how fast its been going!!! last week was spring break, didn't do anything exciting really. Me and Cory went down state to see his family the Thrursday before break actually started. Neither of us had class that day, mine was canceled, so we decided to take off early. We were only down there for the weekend and then came back up to Houghton and just hungout and was lazy for the week with everyone else that was in town still. Wednesday of break me and some friends decided to take a mini road trip down to Appleton, WI we went shopping and stayed the night down there and headed back up in the afternoon.

Besides that lifes been good, its finally started to warm up here. It's absolutly beautiful today sunny and in the high 40's! Although it feels like its warmer then that. Thats about it though for now.

School canceled...WHAT?!

The snow is still falling but not that hard. It doesn't even really seem like we got all that much because it was all blowing so the cars weren't coevered, although it was about knee deep behind my car when I was trying to go to the bank today. But anyways thats not what this is about. Tech actually canceled classes today!! I don't even know the last time that its happend there have been none for at least the past 5 years!
