Snow, ancient lit and weak coffee...

Snowboarding is definitely on the agenda for today. I would be insane not to go. The Beav got 20 inches yesterday. They haven't been over 80 inches (as a base depth) at all this year, and they are currently sitting at 88 inches! I about peed myself with excitement when I checked their website this morning. :)


We have a test today in my Ancient Lit class. Covering Agamemnon, Oedipus, and Hippolytus. Not too bad, as well as a paper on the 3 due next tuesday. (My group and I are writing about the similar themes in each play)

And the coffee. This one breaks my heart. I don't normally drink coffee,cuz... it's just not really my thing, but I've started to this past semester. Well, on campus, they use beans from a local coffee shop, which I think is neat that the University is supporting local businesses. Well, I tried a special blend one day, and about died. It was an amazing bled of cinnamon, hazelnut (they had me at hazelnut...) and cream. I finally made it downtown to the Ibis to buy a pound (for trying to shopping local, it was more expensive than getting a pound of beans at the grocery store!). Then the real test came. I set the bag of beans out last night, so the guys would take a hint, and make a pot of Sally's Special. And... it's just not the same. I'm guessing that not enough beans were ground for the amount of water... and it doesn't smell the same either. I apparently now know what a weeeeeeaaaaaak cup of coffee tastes like. Water. Warm water. Warm water with a splash of milk.
I think I am done trying to interfere with the coffee in our house. It just was a disappointment for me.

*SIGH*

I'll go sit in the corner now, and try to do some last minute reading before my exam...

I have never snowboard before. I want to, but for some reason I have never gotten the opportunity.

Good luck on your test. Man, I do not miss college at all! The funny thing is I am considering going back for Grad School.

I am a huge coffee drinker. If I do not have coffee next to me when I open my eyes in the morning get ready for World War 3. I have got Mr. P trained. LOL.

So in the never ending quest to save money, I went out bought a fancy coffee machine and even a French Press to make coffee at home. I have learned that coffee at home never taste the same. So both machines sit there as kitchen decoration on my counter. *Sigh*
