If it is cold outside, then there should be snow. Especially considering that this is Iowa in the middle (okay, beginning) of December, I would expect to have at least a few inches on the ground ( Read more... )

To clear up any confusion people might have had about the title, I am SO EXHAUSTED! I stayed up till 2:15 doing my paper last night, which wouldn't have been so bad, except when you haven't gone to bed before 1:20 on any other night and then you're in a bad mood because you have to cram this report in and all I you want to do is scream,.. then ( Read more... )

Three more weeks! Thanksgiving was interesting. LOTS of family feud, but now we're doing better. Ate good food, did a little shopping, spend 12 hours in the airport/plane on Wednesday getting there. Just cleaning up for this semester and then I'm out!! home to arkansas for a couple days, then up to Iowa again, then down in Arkansas for two ( Read more... )

Ohhh... I am so ready for Thanksgiving. Not because I'll be taking a break, but because I won't have to attend class, go to work, or write a story for the Daily. Instead, I'll get to sleep in till 8:00, eat home-cooked meals, and STUDY. I don't leave for New Orleans until Wednesday, so Saturday I think I might visit my aunts and cousins Emma and ( Read more... )

We are finally coming into the last stretch of the elections. Leonardo DiCaprio and Bon Jovi were here this morning to praise Kerry, and Brendan Fraser will be here tonight to introduce a movie ( Read more... )

I am so tired of politics!!! Who thought that Teresa Krug would ever say that? I know Bush and Kerry better than probably 99% of the country. They should both just set up residency in Iowa because they are here so much. Dick Cheney is going to be here either tomorrow or Friday, Kerry was in Des Moines last Thursday, and I'm willing to bet that ( Read more... )

I have NO time to post. As I speak, it is 12:51 and I am literally facing 3-5 hours of homework tonight AND I have class at 9:30 tomorrow. But, I just wanted to put two things in ( Read more... )

Hello, again ( Read more... )

So, it is finally Thursday!! This is seriously my favorite day of the week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are so jam-packed and always make me want to quit school that Thursdays are my only light at the end of the tunnel. They are a welcome break and chance to catch up on stuff ( Read more... )
