So much for the spring weather....


Forgive my insistence on blogging about the weather. It's a psychological trauma or something :) Im just so amazed. Too much snow for me, if you ask :P It snowed all of last night and throughout most of this morning. Yup. I still walked to class. Im so proud of myself :)) That's the end of my summery hopes. Though I have to admit that its nice and warm. A Boston native (they are as hard to find as Mexican natives) said that snow has the same insulation effect we desert people say sand has...
soooo it's nice and snowy... soft warmish snow! I've decided it's snowman time!! jijijijiji si no puedes con ellos uneteles, no? muajaja
oh. this is harvard yard in the picture. the snow is actually a whole lot taller than that right now. It's probably close to a foot and a half where they let it accumulate... or maybe that's my own desert-girl perception :P but anyways... it's snow. lots and lots and lots of it :)
I met our fourth roommate last night. He is very cute. Big ears, though. But that's alright. Cute is still cute. Besides, Q should not worry bc this new roommate is probably gonna go soon. Pobrecito, he's a mouse. Cute, cute tiny little thing... walked to the middle of my room last night while I was on my nagging girlfriend role.... I saw him from the corner of my eye and turned to see if I was imagining him. he stoped and stared at me, probably to make sure I was a living creature too :P Maybe thinking, "I hope she thinks my big black eyes are cute enough." And finally after a whole minute of intense mutual staring he turned around and went back into hiding. Poor thing. Do I really really have to get a trap for him? I mean, arent there good things about mice in a house? I think I saw a documentary about this scientist who had mice in his house for some purpose... but then again he had other creepy animals too.
Ah well... I'll call the landlord and tell him. Health first. But I have to admit I feel awful.

LEEEAVING... OOON A JET PLAANE....

Well, not me. My family =D

THEY'RE COMING TO VISIT ME!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!

It will be a happy Easter indeed :D


Hopefully it will also be a little warmer. I say it's time for some spring weather already. I want them to be able to see the city without ...uh... side effects. Catching a cold during vacation is not fun :P

Life has been pretty normal around here. Just lots of reading. Ive been spending 4-6 hrs at the library or reading at home every day this week. I have to do some serious ahead-reading cuz I know I wont do much that week ...jejeje :"> Im so happy!

I plan on starting my translation of Mark today, and doing some cleaning. Living room and kitchen floors need some attention. and the windows too. and the wood furniture. and the microwave needs to be "washed" and disinfected. I've been on a cleaning splurge lately. I re-arranged my room, cleaned my closets, organized my papers and desk drawers… don’t ask me why, but I find it strangely rewarding. I think that the fact that cleaning is not studying also helps :P

Hmm… other from that, no news. Just studying. Freezing and studying.

the simple things in life

Apple pie :">
It looks way darker "in person." And it smells absolutely great :) !
mmmmm.... ke rico! cant wait till it cools down....
I had such a nice evening! I took my time... listened/danced to a little salsa... changed the recipe a bit.. made it from scratch, even the crust :) Today felt Saturday-ish, from the very start.

I realized this morning that I had no clean clothes. Yup. PJs all day. Went to Greek class and then went to Stapples. Got myself this:

Not the book. The Bookstand!! THE bookstand! Hehehe... it's flexible:

So I can take it to the library. I can fold it and put it in my purse/bag ..aand I can stop hunching into my readings! wujuu
:D
hehe.
It makes me happy.

Other small and not so small things that happened today: Q is coming. Did I say that already? hehe :"> well I got details today, so it sortof happened today :P My friend P went back to work the other day and had a nice day :)! It was sunny out today, despite the new snow. no wind either. My 2pm class got cancelled (wuujuu) The change machine had enough quarters for my laundry. I did my laundry :) I color-coded mi calendario.. I have the apt for myself tonight, which means nice indoor weather and more muusic :D The rice I made to go with my stir fry was PERFECT! hadn't done such great arrocito in a while :D

oh. and my pie is cool now I think. muajajaja....
