Snow Day Observations

There were a couple observations i made friday during the snow day. the first was that i wondered why i hadn't procrastinate another couple days of taking my snow tires off. The other was that eventhough i had the entire day to work on homework and to get various other things done, i still only got about the same amount of stuff done that i would have if i would have had to go to class. Actually i think i may have gotten a little bit less done than i would have. I blame the internal idea all students have when they realize they have a snow day, which is "yea!! i don't have to do anything today" if only that was the case as then i'd have slightly less stuff to get done this week. eh, oh well :-P

my other observations has to due with society/rapid city culture (most likely it's just not here). i find it rather hilarious that altho the entire city (well not entire, read on) can be shut down but yet the bars and the porn shop are still open. granted the porn shop i don't think ever closes, but still, this kinda shows what is important to us as a society doesn't it? i guess there were a few restaurants that did open as well, but those were few and far inbetween. another factor i suppose is that the bars usually don't open until later in the day, and since it stopped snowing by noon and then got into the mid-40's (i think) the snow was becoming slush so it was a little less likely to get stuck, altho quite a few still managed. luckly i wasn't one of them, eventho i was parked in an unplowed parking lot (hehehe, ashley??? :-P).

so yup that means i ventured out later in the day. i started to get "cabin fever" or something similar. i just don't like being at home all that much. anyways, so first had gone to the movie theatre with some others, but sadly found out they were closed as well. so we just went back to one of their houses and watched a little bit of a movie before heading to Dublin (ya for smoke free :-P) to celebrate a friends birthday.

while at Dublin made a couple more observations. The first being that a lot of times i think someone could be my type, i then have to ask myself "are they or are they a foreigner". after talking to a friend, we concluded this was because people from other countries have a bit of a different fashion sense, and that they hold themselves differently. the other observation kinda goes back to society, and was actually made by a norwegian exchange student. he noticed that instead of studying the nights before final exams start we are all out drinking :-P this could be that everyone was tired of being stuck at home, but i'm pretty sure most of the people there would have been drinking if there wasn't a snow day.

and with that i should probably go do some studying.
