POWWOW IS TOMORROW!

That is my life.

I stepped down from my NAEA presidency yesterday, which made me sad. I will train my interim President while I work on my thesis.

Thesis has consumed me. And my other classes, but mostly thesis.

I have a lot to do!

POWWOW IS TOMORROW! And despite all the work I am stoked. More interesting things will come later when I am not braindead or hyperventilating.

Weather, wtf?

So, the weather has been nice, temperate, and mostly warm lately. I sadly missed the one day of real sunshine due to homework and laundry, but it has been great! 

Now the weather has turned cold. My lady mother and my lord father have been beset by snow! It has gotten really cold here, too, and I fear frost and ice in the morning. A chill wind decided to blow down the valley and rather annoys me. I was hoping for nice weather, especially since it is Powwow on Saturday! I fear the weather will be sour and my last powwow at WU will be forever remembered as rainy and really cold. A repeat of last year, I think, but perhaps wishful thinking can make the weather turn out how I wish. After weather in the low 70s, upper 60s, the weather being below 50 again is sad. 

Today's forecast for Saturday: Chance Of Showers, Hi: 53°, Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Highs 50 to 55.... I want at least 65-70 and partly cloudy. *Wishful thinking*

Not gonna do the countdowns today. They are all one day less.

EDIT: After looking closer at the weather site, a Special Weather Bulletin: possible snow/rain mix tonight all the way down to at least 500 feet (it says lowest elevations). Snow level proper is 1000 feet, snow into tomorrow morning. Funfun. (This is just looking at where WU is located.)

POWWOW and other things

I would like to start by saying that my favourite WU event is happening this Saturday: Powwow! I will be simultaneously working it and having a booth to potentially sell things. I am excited.

What I am not excited about are all the things I need to get done, not to mention the fact that a professor has pulled an Academic Alert on me because I have missed a good deal of class, thanks to the stomach issue listed earlier. BTW, it is a stress-induced issue and being sick makes me more stressed makes me more ill.... etc. Oh, an Academic Alert means that they will keep an eye on me to make sure I can graduate, aka "we think you might fail" or something like that. If I do, this will suck...

Countdowns:
Till WU's Powwow - five days
Thesis 2nd draft due (aka all interviews done and analyzed) - 3 weeks
Thesis Presentation (aka all info done) - 5 weeks
Thesis FINAL draft due - 8 weeks
Till Commencement - about 11 Weeks (about 2 months)
Till Wedding - 5 months
