praying to the Snow-Gods-

This was a week ago-- little flowers coming up due to freakishly warm weather.  Actually.... freakishly warm for like February 1989, in the past few years has seemed like 'normal' February weather- for it to be 50 degrees or something.  Not saying I agree with it- or like it but it has helped me to get an early start on some yard clean-up chores.  

However- the last few days have been 'normal' ~old school~ February days.  When I drove Anna to the bus stop, and yes I did drive her because it was hellyeah cold out!- anyway, it was 14 degrees. [11 when Alex left].  Now this morning- it was 22 out, when I took Alex to her stop at a glorious 6:30 am.  The really cool thing I've noticed [at 6:30am] it was light out:)  I could see:)  Usually it's pitch dark, yucky, still wanting to be in bed darkness.  Spring is coming!!!

However [again] it still is February- and yes, I'm wishing, hoping, thinking SNOW.  it's a snow sky out there... but I don't know.  There's only a slight chance [it'll be more north-west of us]- but those weather guys are hardly correct, so you see: there is hope for us. 

Not too much else of interest going on~  same old/same old.  I took the N.E.T. on Saturday, the nursing entry test.  God- I was like a nervous little kid taking the S.A.T.'s.  Except I clearly remember taking the S.A.T.'s and the fact that there was this amazing blue sky outside, and the bigger fact that I was leaving for the beach after the S.A.T.'s.  Yeah- I didn't do so hot. I wasn't exactly the 'scholar' in my youth.  Not even sure I'm such the perfect example of a 'scholar' now.  I'm still way last minute, taking it serious -the day of class, instead of reading, reading, reading all week long.   But back to the N.E.T.'s.  I had to be there 7:30 am.  I got up early, [i need to be showered and 'dressed/makeup' to feel functional] I studied some, arrived on time, registered, had my 2 #2 pencils.  Math was first, [thankyou]- felt confident about that.  Honestly there was 1 problem I guessed on, the others I [hope] nailed.  [sometimes over-confidence screws the piss out of you!!]  Reading comprehension, hopefully I did 'ok'.  Why do they always have some boring-ass story?  English-  I instantly felt retarded and started second guessing proper sentence structures.   2 of the 4 choices would instantly sound 'correct'.  [I hate you Mr. 'test-maker' man. You do that crap on purpose, I had assessment at Temple Univ.  all about 'testmaking']  BUT- it's done, I'm dying for my results.   

that's all folks.  Family is normal, so to speak.  Weather is now back to normal- and no shit- it's snowing.  Small little flurries, but it'll still count.
