The Weekly Report: February 26th-March 3rd

The Week of February 26th-March 3rd

I started off my week with a bit of school non-sense. I was told by a classmate of mine that we had a five-page paper due Monday evening, three hours before I had to turn it in. It was unfortunate to be sure, but it gave me an excuse to go back to the room and run up Oppenheimer for the second time in two days. I think I've found a new candidate for "white noise" viewing. My favorite, at least, since The Social Network. 

On Wednesday, I found myself on the Beech Mountain slopes again. I slid in a friend's Strava DMs a few weeks prior, and my efforts paid off in a final visit before the season ended. There wasn't a lot of snow and whole lot of wind and ice, but it was an epic time. Our group of five had the mountain completely to ourselves. The only downside of the evening was the woman at the McDonald's in Hampton, Tennessee, who turned us away from the lobby when we stopped on the way back. I hope next time, she has a change of heart. 

My schedule this semester is very kind to me, but especially on Thursdays. I only have one class, and it's in the afternoon at 3:40. Because of this, I'll usually sleep in, and when I finally decide to get up, spend most of my morning in room drinking coffee and moseying about. I spent the majority of my Thursday morning listening to Modest Mouse, Bread, and Souls of Mischief. Great, all things considered.

My weekend was fairly uneventful, which is how I like them for the most part. I had a couple glasses of wine with my friends Friday night, watched some Premier League, College Basketball, and Bachelor on Saturday, and welcomed my teammates back from their stay in Brookings, South Dakota on Sunday. The calm before the Spring Break storm, if you will.
