Maybe it's a little extreme to be posting this on a public forum, but this isn't quite nearly as public as something like my Facebook status, so whatever.
I'm sick of Richmond. Basically. I feel like I'll never fit in, no matter how hard I try. I honestly do wish I was still abroad. I mean, yes, Richmond is much better now than it was freshman, sophomore year but honestly I will be relieved when college is over and done.
But, I can think of maybe one time where I did not feel a million times better the next day. I do think it's kind of a funk.
It's just upsetting that these times do have to happen and I feel like I'll never not be miserable.
Update #1: No one is reading this, so I don't know why I bother updating.
Update #2: I am dramatic. Hence all the moaning and groaning I just did over painting a mug with polka dots. Oy.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I spent a nice little chunk of my Valentine's Day weekend in the car ... but that's OK because I spent it with Hannah at Wake Forest!
We had a lovely time (seeing as we could not be at Mardi Gras grrr), drinking and eating lots of bad-for-you-food.
Case in Point: I had my first KFC Bowl. Gross but good. Ideal hangover food really.

Sadly, does not look that nice in reality. But it. Was. Good.
Also got Cookout yay!! Besides the company, really the main reason I visit her.
I made lots of grumbles about boys whilst drinking, there was chocolate and ice cream involved - truly the best and proper way to spend a Valentine's Day I believe!
Thank you for a great weekend Hannah!

Snow! Snow?
Today we had our first snow day of the year! Exciting, that it was.
But I'm almost ready to get back to normal.
1. I do well with a schedule. Free time is nice, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed.
2. My dad pays a lot of money for me to go here. As much as not having to listen to my grizzled war vet of a professor talk about photography was lovely, it still almost pains me to think about wasted money on my education. (Can you tell I'm Jewish??)
3. All the food places close early. Obviously, the people who work at the Pier and in D-Hall are AMAZING coming to work with the dangerous conditions, and during the past two snowy weekends they even spent the night oncampus. However, I just wish the snow would go away for our sake and theirs. D-Hall gets crazy crowded because they close it at 7!!
C'mon spring!! I want to wear flip-flops!

Ring Dance Recap
Friday:
My parents get in. It's snowing. But they make it! We eat at Can Can, for my daddy's birthday (which is the following day). So freakin' delicious. I get a salmon yummm. And we see some fellow Who Dats there. Who woulda thought?
Interior of restaurant. Very cute, although not very good picture.
I get tips off wine, no big deal.
Saturday:
It's still snowing. My dad wants to go drive around? The southern fool. We eventually make it out to eat the Village Diner, featured on Triple D. It's delicious, and in the cool VCU area, which I should totally hang out in more often.
THEN RING DANCE TIME!!!
Get to wear my dress for the second time! My dad wears a gold bowtie for the saints! and my mom all over gold!
We walk down the stairs - which is totes not as as stressful as I thought it would be. Us girls line up in the shape of a W, for Westhampton. Not as stupid as I thought it would be.
Then it was party time!!
Sunday:
Am hungover, but luckily it dissipates in time for me to take pictues of maitenance men shoveling snow.
AND THEN BLACK AND GOLD SUPERBOWL. WHO DAT.

Cursed
Ok, apologies to my fellow junior class women: but my dress is cursed.
Case A: I am re-wearing my high school graduation dress for Ring Dance. The day of graduation, it poured buckets. It was ridiculous. We hd to take the traditional picture instead inside of outside. Tragedy I know, but it really was!! It also seems to rain on every important day of my life (at least in high school, as it rained on our last day offical day of senior year, which was also the day of the Cum Laude ceremony).
Case B: This weekend, if it doesn't snow, there will be wintry mix and a lotta rain. I mean, at least we'll be inside at the Jeff, but my Dad is a snow-phobe (he and I are a lot a lot alike).
Keep your fingers crossed that meteorologists are wrong!!

A Night of Firsts
So guess who doesn't want to read Merchant of Venice? That's right, moi. So let's talk about this night of firsts!
Ok, so starting Saturday, Richmond has been blanketed in snow. My poor Rav4 (which has recently been recalled, natch), was exposed to snow for the first time. So thank you, Katie! For helping me dust off all the snow and ice, and for being in the car with me the first time I tried to drive it in the inclement weather! Scariest. Moment. Ever.
But then we had fun times, and we went to dinner at Joe's Market! I had never been before, and it was goooood. I had a sandwich with roasted veggies and hummus on it and it was YUMMY. Demolished that sucker. I would totes go back to Joe's Market (and I intend to!) since there were also lots of fun groceries, like Australian Licorice mmm. Great another place to spend money offcampus woo!
Ima start bringing my point 'n' shoot with me more often so I couldve taken sweet pictures of the car and my sandwich.
Oh. Andddd it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Like what. The. Fuck. It better not be snowing this weekend for Ring Dance, is all I'm sayin'.
