Officially, we're under a blizzard warning now. One model is saying we'll get as many as 20 inches of snow. Most are a bit more conservative, but estimates are hovering in the 10-12" range, for the most part (my personal guess is maybe 9"). Along with up to a quarter inch of ice. So far, we've had thundersleet. Epic thundersleet, I would argue. The lightning really reflects around the sky when you're dealing with frozen precip. And the thunder... well, it's loud. I can't say I've really seen much like it before.
Roomies 2, 4, and myself decided that just as the thundersleet was starting would be the perfect time to go to Walmart. Why? Because we're crazy and realized we're about to be stuck in the apartment for easily three days.
Class has already been canceled for Tuesday. Everyone is counting on Wednesday to be canceled too--if not for the snow/ice on the roads, then for the cold (wind chills as low as -15. That's not really a thing in Oklahoma). Thursday and Friday are kind of up in the air. We'll probably get at least one of them off, because the school has a tendency of giving a sort of safety-net day, for people who live down crazy back roads that won't be cleared until it melts (which it won't until at least Friday).
But this is uninteresting.
I've been sick for the last two weeks or so, basically since the very start of school. Roomie 4 gave it to me (she caught it in Iowa... shock). Started with a sore throat and lots of sinus pressure; sinus gave way to a very low-grade fever; fever broke after a couple days (during which I adequately ignored it/kept it at bay with Tylenol) and the sore throat turned to a hacking cough. Now I'm left with just the cough, but it's gotten significantly worse. It was enough to give me a headache within 20 minutes of waking up this morning. I've finally resigned myself to cough syrup, which I've tried to avoid since childhood. My gag reflex tends to try to preempt the cherry flavor at just the thought. That was a poorly constructed sentence, but you get the point. Roomie 4 threatened me with a knife 'til I threw it back like a shot and chased it with grape juice, and I'm thankful she did because it worked wonders overnight. Unfortunately, it's a super-drowsiness-inducing one, so I can't take it during the day.
I haven't let being sick interfere with my booming social schedule. Which is to say that I've DD'd a couple parties that I didn't actually attend, went to a movie, and have even made new friends that I can eat lunch with. Wutwut! Including a boy who I've maybe got at least a baby crush on. But we're not encouraging this because boys are dumb and lead to problems. *Ahem* I'm focusing on my studies and work now. TOTALLY.
Weekend program is February 19. Apparently someone invited Dick to the facebook event. I didn't know this, seeing as he blocked me a few months ago, but Roomie 6 reports that he's listed as "not attending". Thank god. I'm pretty sure if he showed up, I would cry. That aside, I'm really excited for the program. I'm a little worried now because I'm going to have trouble getting the payment through in time for a DJ... but we'll make it happen. And the rest of the event is super super awesome. I'm especially proud of my publicity, which I worked very hard on. It looks even better printed, but it's pretty schnazzy.
