Reasons I hate driving through the U.P.

1. 90% of all the highways are 2 lane
2. 98% of the high ways are 55MPH, there is only about 20 miles between St. Ignace and the Soo that is 70MPH
3. U.P. drivers INSIST on going 52MPH until there is a passing lane and then they speed up to 65 and then slow back down once the lane is gone.
4. On more than one occasion when I was trying to pass someone in a passing lane the driver in front of me decided that it wanted to drive in the passing lane as well and cut me off.
5. This time of year they are always wet and full of salt/sand still so the tires of the car in front of you kicks up the grossness and covers your windshield.

I sure there are many other reasons I just can't think of any right now.

Last week was winter carnival and this years theme was "Games we know caught in the snow" It was a lot of fun like always with events going on all week along with seeing old friends. Unfortunately I had a really bad head cold this year during it so I felt like crap the entire time. My sorority didn't do a statue this year.... well, they started and just decided to give up on it. It was a bit embarrassing... The winners this year did Mario (fraternities) and Pretty Pretty Princess (sororities). Mario was Incredible! They had the flower guys that bite made completely out of ice along with mushrooms made out of ice and blocks and Bowsers spikes were all ice as well. I didn't take any pictures but here is the MTU website with some. http://www.flickr.com/photos/michigantech/ the pictures aren't great.
