It is Sunday, February 25th, 2007 Fuddy Meers is over and the Mikado begins tomorrow! The Mikado is an operetta and the next show in the theater. So we have one day to breath the wonderful air of freedom and then tomorrow, back to work! Good thing it's work we love.
It is also snowing right now! The second time this semester! Who is excited? This New Englander definitely is I'm currently pondering the possibility of sledding later, but my school work is proving to be a minor problem to overcome. We'll see how the night progresses.
This week was a rather big week because I handed in my research proposal for class. I need to conduct an ethnography, which is basically a fancy word for Sociological Research consisting of different methods of observation. My proposal was for a Research Project studying the relations between Albright College students who live on and off campus and the residents of the Albright College Community. The purpose of this study is to see how the relations are, are there mutual feelings, and why does conflict arise between both parties? I'm hoping the end product will be something that can be applied to many other college campuses and surrounding residential area. This still has to be approved...so we'll see.
Alright well I'm going to do some reading and work on my Research Methods homework.
God Bless!!

FOUND YOU
Did you know there are no 2 snowflakes that are the same?
Yes, Reading finally found the snow!!! Snow day and Albright College normally are not associated together, but last week, Wednesday, February 14th, 2007 it happened! Albright College cancelled classes! I awoke at 10:15 a.m. to the distant screams of college students sledding down the hill behind my apartment. I peeked through my blinds and saw a white winter wonderland and flurries coming from the heavens! It was a truly magnificant sight. I proceeded to put 4 layers of random articles of clothing (all colors) on and left the apartment armed for battle (2 sleds). I spent the next hour of my life in complete bliss...sledding down the hill with friends. When I came back home I was completely frozen, but had the much awaited and anticipated mug of hot chocolate. It was incredible. I spent the rest of the day in the poof, which is my bed, watching a movie and relaxing.
At 5pm I received a phone call from an elderly woman who lived right by the college. She was completely snowed in. So, Jessica and Rachel (2 of my roommates) and I walked to her house with shovels and shoveled her driveway for her. She was absolutely adorable. We then stopped by the mailroom to check my other roommates mail for her, since she was home. And what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a letter from one of her schools for grad school accepting her into their program!!!!!!!
So yes the first snow day in many, many, many years at Albright College can go down as one of the best days of my life with some of my best friends.
God Bless!

Listen to the song here in my heart....
Did you know Beyonce kicked butt at the Grammy's!?!?
"Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete
Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release
Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own.."
Go see Dream Girls..it is super amazing.
