I'm ba-ack!

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. I have been extremely busy. Between classes, OWL, OU basketball games, freezing my butt off, and catching up on the entire Brotherhood 2.0 project, I just haven't had time to write any blog posts. Plus, my friend Aaron and I went to see Sweeney Todd yesterday. It was an awesome movie. I won't post any spoilers, in case people haven't seen it yet, but people die. Anyway, it's going to be very windy tomorrow -- up to 45 mph gusts. And I have to be up in 6 hours, so g'night, all!

Back to the old grind...

It's been a while since I posted, and I'm sorry for that. I was at my house in S. Carolina, and I didn't have very much Internet time. Oh well.

It's supposed to snow here tomorrow; the National Weather Service has placed us under a
Hazardous Weather Outlook , saying that a wintry mix is possible tomorrow night. Yay.

Classes started today. I have homework that I should be doing right now, so I think I will. Peace.

I'm bored...

Why am I bored? I think it has something to do with the weather (it's thunderstorming). Maybe I should go into biometeorology; my mom's complaining about back and shoulder pain. Oh, well, off to check the NWS page for more on our storm.

Merry Christmas to all...

... and to all a good night! Merry Christmas, everybody!

I'm home - finally...

That was a trip. I was supposed to fly home last Saturday from Oklahoma City, OK (OKC) to Greenville, SC (GSP) by way of Chicago O'Hare (ORD). I caught a ride with a couple of my friends at 9:30, even though my plane didn't leave until 2:00. Well, at 11:30, United called to notify me that my flight to Chicago was cancelled because of the winter storm. I ended up going from Oklahoma City to Denver, CO (DIA), to Washington Dulles (IAD), to Greenville. I got home at 11:15 that night, tired but glad to see my family. At least that's over.

Round two...

So finals are almost over, and I'm doing pretty good (A/B) so far. Only one more left, but that's calculus. Joy.

The National Weather Service has placed Norman under a Winter Storm Watch valid Friday morning through Saturday morning. As of right now, it looks like we'll be getting somewhere between 2 and 5 inches of snow. That shouldn't affect my flight Saturday afternoon, but... we'll see.

Less than three more days before I'm back home!

Weather update...

The NWS is calling for freezing rain to hit the Norman area Saturday night, and again Sunday night through Wednesday night. It's too early to tell exactly what's going to happen, but this could be significant, y'all. See the following webpage for more information: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/enhanced.php

You've just been RickRoll'd! What is RickRolling? See this site for information - and I promise it's not another RickRoll!

Oh, yeah, here's the real link to the NWS Norman page.

Stress...

The last week of classes... called "dead week" by faculty and staff, known by students as "death week". I swear, the reason that graduation rates are so low is because students drop out the week before finals. Gah. Anywho, I'm going to go to bed now. I leave you with this "so awful, it's funny" joke from Decorum Comics: "What do you call the blood that comes out when teenagers cut themselves? Emoglobin."

That was awkward...

I woke up this morning to the sound of banging in the bathroom. Now, to get this, you've got to realize that two rooms share a bathroom. For the past week, I've been the only one in either room (Thanksgiving break). So I'm startled. I get up and walk to the door to find a note laying there. Seems that my suitemate's parents came back from Tulsa with him and didn't like the state of the bathroom. Now it looks just like a woman's bathroom. Gah.

Anyway, Bedlam was great. It's always fun to whoop OSU's "behindus", as my friend Nathan put it. And Sam Bradford was able to break the freshman touchdown record. So now we go on to play Mizzou in the championship game. As long as we play well and don't let our guard down, it won't be a problem.

Sad news for the day: I gained five pounds over Thanksgiving break - and I didn't even have a Thanksgiving dinner. Back on the bicycle tomorrow, if I can make it through the snow.

Oh - speaking of snow, the National Weather Service is predicting possible accumulation for the Norman area. Woo-hoo!

Cheers,
Travis
