this is the part where you find out who you are

Not much to say about the last week, except SNOW. I used to like snow. I used to like having work and class cancelled. There are drifts taller than me outside my apartment (okay, so I am short, but that is still a lot of snow). Round 2 hit yesterday and there were 50 mph gusts. I managed to make it out to see the Duke-UNC game (go Devils) but that was about it!

Today, Sarah and I tried to go for a run, which mostly consisted of us scurrying around slush puddles and black ice. The streets have gotten cleared out a bit so we're going to work tomorrow, which I'm actually excited about.

The good thing about being stuck inside for the past week is I've managed to get caught up on a lot of homework, applications, and such. I actually sewed up some pants and cleaned the kitchen. I think you know it's a bad sign when I'm mad that someone else got to unloading the dishes before me.

I tried to work on my independent study project during Round 1, but my software wasn't up-to-date, so I had to order a new set from Mac. Of course, the post hasn't run all week, so I haven't gotten it yet. All I've been able to do is read up on the new software and play with what I have. It's kind of a frustrating waste of time.

I realized that I haven't talked about my classes yet. I'm taking three - Theories of Constitutional Interpretation, an internship seminar, and Economics and Public Policy. I've never liked econ, but I've always wanted to. I think that economics and education are the best way to solve social issues, which I suppose is another tangent. Anyway, my economics professor has given us some pretty interesting readings that are real world applications of economic theory and I'm actually really enjoying it.

Last weekend, Brittany and I ventured out in the snow to go try out a church. The pastor gave a great sermon about vision and timing - it's funny how everything seems to come back to the same message sometimes. I've had a lot of free time this week to think about how close I'm getting to graduating, and it's been neat to see how some things just seem to be falling into place.
