Sad Happenings

My family and I absolutely LOVE snowmobiling! I like to think that I love it more than any of them combined, but that's just my opinion. We haven't gone snowmobiling all winter and it saddens me very much. Every time we plan to go out, we end up having to cancel because something at our resort breaks (...we own a resort...it's pretty legit...maybe...) or the snowmobiles are acting up. Sunday after church we had planned to go snowmobiling. We were all ready to go. We had our quick bake pizza all done, we had our gear laid out and ready to go, and all we had left to do was get the snowmobiles out of the trailer. Sounds easy right?

WRONG!

Long story short, it took about two hours to get the two in the trailer out. When they were finally out, one of them wouldn't stay on. It would run for about five minutes, but the second you tried to do anything with it, like say, move it, yeah, it quit working. Ugh.

The funny thing was though is that all that night I had been waking up from a dream with the horrible feeling that we weren't going to go snowmobiling. Every dream that I had something happened and my parents said we couldn't go. At one point I even asked my mom if we were still going. All she did was give me a confused look and a "uh duh" answer. But somehow my inner self knew the truth.

Maybe I should listen to my subconscious more often. Granted this was the only time I can remember something like that happening, but still. Maybe God was keeping us home for a reason. If I wouldn't listen to my dreams, then He would kill our snowmobile. Thanks God, I appreciate it. (Heavy sarcasm.)

Today is my first day of the spring semester at NMC. I don't know why they call it the "spring" semester. It's the middle of January and there's a foot of snow on the ground. They should call it the "winter semester that eventually ends in the spring...maybe". That would be more accurate.

I have a pretty nice, somewhat random schedule. I have biology in the morning at 8am (yuck) then a bio lab at 10:15 (only on Mondays though) and then I have english at 1 and then way later I have math at 5:30. I have 2 1/2 hours between my english and math classes and that's the only time I have to eat. But luckily I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesday which is nice. Today I didn't have my bio lab and my bio class got out at 8:30 so I didn't have anything to do from 8:30 till 1 so I hung out in the library with some girls from my bio class, did homework and then called up a buddy to go get lunch with me. So far it's been a pretty good day.

If only the snow would go away and it would become spring outside. I mean come on, this is the SPRING semester!!!
