"UGA at Gwinett closed Friday"

the good lord has showerd us with blessings...enough rain, that is, for uga, "out of concern for the safety of [their] faculty and students", to cancel school for the day. i happened to wake up at 6:21 am this morning, roll out of bed, and log onto my yahoo mail account to see what the fate of my day was. the letter was titled "UGA at Gwinett closed Friday". oh no. what about us here in athens? i was all nerves as i double clicked on those doubtful words...but the first line said, "in addition to the main uga campus in athens being closed on friday..." i didn't need to read any further. i had a silent dance celebration for a minute or so...i was so excited that i couldn't fall back asleep for another hour. woke up around 10:30 after finally falling asleep and had a wonderful belgium waffle for breakfast.

speaking of delicious food, i had a wonderful dinner last night. two lobster tails with butter dip stuff on the side, a georgia chicken breast, piles of pineapple, grapes, and strawberries, an egg roll, wong, fruit-a-licious smoothie, and finally, a chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. pretty expensive meal for a poor college student, right? where else could you get such a variety of foods together but on the meal plan here at uga? yesterday was the dedication dinner for the new east campus dining commons. who ever said that college food was bad?

back to there being no school today, i now have more time to finish my english paper...although the likelyhood of that happening is slim. i'm hoping that the hawaiian night at the ramsey center tonight won't be cancelled....it sounds like so much fun! theres gonna be a giant slide, inflatables, flame twirling dudes, handwriting analysts, limbo contest, hula dancers, bbq and daquaries (virgin, of course), and so much more. i love dawgs after dark. anyway, i'd better get started on my day...its 12:14 and i'm still in my pjs!
