cold, cold february

We hear it will be in the upper 30's on Tuesday...despite the fact that it's supposed to snow 4-6 in. tomorrow. 

That will be the first time that it will be above freezing since Jan. 10. 

Yes, we're all a little tired of the cold. 

But look at where we live. What do you expect?

It has been nice to see the sun stick around for a little bit longer every day. 

It used to be pitch dark when I would leave for babysitting at 5:15, but not anymore!

It's been a BUSY week. 

Internship hours went up due to an open mic night on Valentine's Day Eve and tackling some data entry tasks and visual art preparation throughout the week. 

This will of course be ANOTHER busy week because I have a weekend class on Native American Art Therapy starting on Friday evening. 

That means making sure all homework for the following week is complete (or sort of complete) before the weekend starts. 

Spring Break is in 3 weeks...which is sort of unfathomable. 

And unfortunately, Ben's Spring Break is a whole month after mine so I'll have to make my own fun. 

I swear we just started. 

I have to slow myself down and look around every once in awhile because these weeks disappear quite quickly.

Classes are going well! 

We're not writing near as much this semester, but we are reading A LOT and video taping fabulously awkward practice counseling sessions with classmates.

Then we watch them so we can learn more about our counseling styles.

It's about as much fun as it sounds. 

Something kind of cool.

Rachel Ries interview on NPR today. Found HERE.

She was in MKE again this last week, but I had internship and kind of forgot to tell Ben about it so none of us went. 

I'm mostly excited about the interview because she talks about longing for her agrarian roots while living in a city for so long and we can definitely relate to that. 

Hope folks are staying warm. 

Spring will be back someday.
