Here we go again

Well, as blue as the sky was a few days ago, I woke up to skies grayer than an old man's beard! The sky looks heavy with snow - remains to be seen if we'll actually see any white stuff today. Last night we got show showers (that's when Mother Nature can't make up her mind to snow or rain so she does BOTH!). The driveway is clear from the last storm on Monday that dumped almost 10" of snow on us. I'm ready for more - I actually like a fresh snow - makes everything seem clean, fresh, and new.

I'm working on schoolwork this morning. I realized last night that I do not have all my books yet! The bookstore is missing a key text in one of my classes. I wrote the instructor who said, yes, there are TWO books and six cds for this class. I have one book and seven cds. OK what's going on?! Have you ever tried to take a class in another language and NOT have a translation guide? Ya..that's what happened here - the main text is the translation guide. It's nice that I know how to say "Do you need a CAT scan?" but it's really sad that I can't count from one to ten or tell you what color your blood is in that language. Hopefully this situation will straighten out soon. Class started Monday and I'd hate to get behind.
