Welcome Back!

This week’s been crazy, huh?  Spring break is more than a month away but thanks to the two almost back-to-back snow storms (or NO THANKS, depending on how much you like the snow), we got an early break.  I can’t tell you how excited I was when I got a campus alert on Sunday (Super Bowl Sunday… Geaux Saints!) informing me that our campus would be closed the following day.  Then came the news that it would be closed on Tuesday, then Wednesday… and Thursday.  Can I get a Friday?  No such chance, but I’m happy with what I got.  I was speaking with my boss earlier today who told me that in all the years she’s been living in Pittsburgh- nearly 15 years- she’s only experienced three snow days.  So, who would have expected four snow days in one week?  Well, the snow has finally subsided- only a few flurries fluttering- and the sun has decided to smile on Pittsburgh, but there’s still evidence of the snow storm.  I must say, blankets of snow everywhere is a beautiful sight, but it’s no fun shoveling it, nor is it fun digging my car from.  So, with that said, I hope this was our last great big snowfall.  Now I’m ready for 60-degree weather; unfortunately, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so we’ve got about another 5 weeks of winter.  *Sigh!*  Anyway, be careful driving around town and watch your step walking around campus.
