Snoooooooooowww!
My photo (January 2015)
As you can see by the above photo, I was pretty surprised when I woke up to snow this morning. This week the weather has been so nice, then yesterday it got pretty chilly, and this morning... snow? Oklahoma really needs to get its act together. I cannot handle all of these seasons in one week. My allergies have been seriously kicking my butt; I've been sniffling, sneezing, and rubbing my eyes like nobody's business. However, the weather was nice in some ways: my roommate and I were able to take Lily to the dog park (which was actually pretty scary/crazy because she got attacked by a much bigger dog and bled everywhere- don't worry though, she's fine and only has a tiny scratch on her nose that was fine after a much needed bath and some Neosporin), I got to comfortably wear my new slacks and blouses in the nice weather, and the cold gave me reason to get my favorite Starbucks drink (peppermint mocha... yum).
Peppermint Mocha, you Seductress

Anyway, apart from the allergies this week was really good. I celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by not going to class (which meant no class all week since I only have class on Mondays), doing homework, and writing my admissions essay for the OU Masters of Social Work - Advanced Standing Program. It was a relaxing day and when I was done with my work I read some of my favorite quotes and speeches by the late, great Martin Luther King Jr. He is one of the most inspiring people i've ever learned about. Sure, he was an adulterer who smoked cigarettes behind closed doors, but you can't fault a man for those things when he did so much for our country. I'm a big proponent of equality for all people and have demonstrated that through work with the lgbtq community, special needs children, African-American foster youths, and through participating in the Sooner Ally training my freshman year.

I agree! It was in the 70’s yesterday and today….ugh. Oklahoma is bipolar when it comes to weather. I’m ready for spring to come and STAY for longer than two days. I’m glad Lily’s okay. People should really not take aggressive dogs to the dog park (if they cannot control them). Peppermint mochas are tasty; my favorite drink at Starbucks is the Americano. Sounds like a productive week. Hope your allergies are better; enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are completely right and your picture was great. Oklahoma weather is crazy! Just like you stated, it will be nice and warm one day and then the next day it will snow. Yum! I love peppermint mocha from Starbucks. However, their iced green tea is my favorite. How did you manage to only have class on Mondays?! I really enjoyed the Martian Luther King Jr quote that you posted!
