The weather is freezing here, but we don't have snow...It's kind of like the vitamin C without the orange juice.. I feel kind of ripped off in a way.

I've been filling out dozens of applications and looking into opportunities for summer employment. It's kind of a hard balance between using this very important time to build my resume and actually earn money that will allow me to live next fall.

I can't wait to watch the Grammy's tonight. It seems to be the least exciting of any of the award shows, but at the same time. It's pop culture and I think it reflects the time. "My time", if you will. I think it's important to stay up on who is winning what.

Of course there will also be a Whitney Houston Tribute tonight. I will never forget dancing in my pajamas as a kid(probably first or second grade) with my two big sisters to the albums of Whitney Houston.

Microphones in hand we could rock out for hours..

(I'm sure this would have been awesome to witness)

We also watched the Biography on VHS.. My sisters were really big fans, and by default, and without the power to choose, I too became a fan.

My thesis committee is still in the works and coming together. I've been reading a lot on my topic.

I may have to discuss that topic more when it begins to be set in motion.

It's a bit crazy/scary to think that I only have a year and three months until Graduation.

(Oh and my niece is still a no show.)
