Day 125---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Have you ever put something in a special place where you were sure you wouldn't lose it, and then forget where you put it? Well I did, and I found that stuff that I was "missing". Kind of embarrasing when I had to tell my dorm staff that I'd found it all. She just laughed and rolled her eyes. I really need to start writing stuff down.

It started snowing this morning. Now we have about three inches. Okay, I can handle this much, but apparently everything east of the Cascades is on a winter storm warning. Official weather reports said to 'Please plan accordingly and be proactive by taking care of errands now and stock an extra supply of food'. Yikes! Must be serious. Not looking forward to it.

My roommate, Michelle, moved out just about an hour ago because she was promoted to Assistant Dorm Chief. I'm pretty excited but I didn't tell her that. As much as I liked her, I am SO glad that I can do whatever I want now. I've been promoted to Bay Leader* so I'm top dog in the living situation now. I have to make sure my baymates to their bay jobs every morning but other than that I don't have a huge responsibility, which I am grateful of. I don't have to worry about waking Michelle up because I like to wake up between 0530 and 0600 and she likes to sleep until 0715 (we have to be out of the dorm by 0745, she likes to push it). I think the one thing I'm most looking forward to though is sleeping without music playing and never having to listen to another pop or rap song. She hates country so I could never play it when she was around, and that's the only thing I like. Now I can listen to whatever I want!

I'm going to get my permit tomorrow! I'm very excited. I have to have it for six months before I can get my Intermediate License. I did the math and hopefully I'll be able to drive by the time I come home for summer break. Hey, Grandpa? I think I'll need to borrow your truck.*    ;-)




*A bay is two rooms and the bathroom that connects them


*Don't worry, we'll talk about it when I get home. I already know, no friends, no loud music, and no reckless driving or showing off. We can work out the details. :)
