Can I Get A Little Sunshine?

I have lived in Wisconsin for all of my 21 years, and I am used to this weather. I am used to getting snowed in, and used to the freezing cold. But the one thing that will always continue to get me down is this gloomy weather! I can handle the snow and cold just as well as any other Wisconsinite, but I just want a little sunshine! Is that too much to ask?! And the sky, what are you doing? Are you just going to continue to drizzle a little, without letting one snowflake fall? Well, I would just like it to make up it's mind, and soon!
This weather has me wanting to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a good book and not leave for days, well except to eat maybe. I just feel gloomy like the weather and sky outside. I guess it is a good thing that I have a pretty busy life, otherwise I am pretty sure that is where I would spend all of my time. Then, I would feel like a bum.
On another note, where I am not just complaining, I am really excited about my paper for the Nobel Prize winner. At first I had a really hard time finding information about my winner, Shirin Ebadi, but just today I hit the jackpot of info on her. I am really excited to sit down with all of my articles and put all of that into my essay. Hopefully, I will get over my three pages, which I am sure I will! There is just so much good stuff on her, I want to cram it all in there! Well, I hope everyone is having as much fun with this as I am.
Until next time... Have a good week!

Another Crazy Week

So, this past week has been not that fun. I have been babysitting morning and night for my brother and sister-in-law. I love my nephews more than anything, believe me, but I have no idea how they do it. With three boys running around their apartment, with the oldest being 5 and the youngest being 2, I really don't know how they do it. My brother has been working overtime this week, and what do you know, my sister-in-law gets an infection in her mouth. She has been in and out of the dentist, rushed to the E.R., and she looks as if she has a baseball in the side of her mouth. I feel so bad for her, and nobody would work for her, so she had to work all week long. I really love to help out, but man those boys tire me out. So, between baby sitting in the mornings, and making it to what classes I can in the day, and working at night, I would like to lay down and sleep for days.
But, one thing that is really good is that I did really well on all of my midterms, so that puts a smile on my face. I am doing well in my classes that I know my grade in, and it is November and still 70 degrees!! So, after my stressful week, this brightens me a little bit.
I still can't believe how fast this semester is going! Maybe it just seems fast with all of the other stuff to deal with, but either way I am glad. Hey, maybe it will stay 70 out for a while longer, because I could definitely do without the snow.
I will post again soon, should I remember. I always seem to forget about this, I wonder if I am the only one...
