Sick Nasty Winter

Okay, it isn't that bad. I'll admit the snow is even pretty, but it is killing me. I got back late Sunday night and since I got to work yesterday it HAS NOT STOPPED SNOWING!! I swear there was 5 feet just yesterday, but I was informed by Utah natives that it wasn't so. At least a foot though. I had to drive to Orem for work this morning and it was BAD. I went out to brush off the snow and I was in snow halfway up my calves. It took forever, but at least there was no ice to scrape. I started to back out and my wheels kept spinning. I was praying because I really had to get to work and I was finally able to get out. I kept having to go forward and turn my wheels to find new ground so they would stop spinning in the holes. I definitely would not have thought of that on my own. Me driving in snow=bad news.
Anyway, I am back in school. It was super exciting to go to my program classes last night and see all my friends! Tati was there and she even went to the bookstore after class with me so we could keep catching up. Classes might be crazier than last semester, but they should be interesting and extremely exciting. Only about 8 months until I have a class of my own!

Funny story from work this morning:
**Not my gerontology secretary job--I have another job working with a 4 year old boy with autism doing ABA therapy. I do that 3 times a week and work on campus 4 days. More hours altogether, but it is worth it because I love my new job. I would do just that one, but I can't because I need more hours than that one has.**
Conversation this morning:
S: C, my brother's wife had a baby this morning! Remember I told you before Christmas that my sister had a baby?
C: Yeah. That means there are 2.
S: 10 altogether.
C: Do you have a baby in your tummy?
S: Nope.
C: Just food?
S: Yeah, just food.
C: Did you eat cheese pizza?

Past funny stories I need to catch up with....
I'm sure you remember Oscar from the class I volunteer in. I went on a field trip with the class before Christmas. It was Christmas Around the World with the BYU Folk Dancers. I was put in charge of Oscar.
*In the bus he asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me for Christmas. I said I would like a camera since mine was broken. He replied, "No, no, no. You go online to the website and click and then you get 3 days and 4 nights."
*I told him I was from California and I would be going there for Christmas. He said, "California. Cops. Dangerous, sticky cops." Not really sure what that meant, but I was cracking up.
