"Spring Break"???

There are two things this week has not been: neither "spring" nor "break!"
    In Central, SC, the weather has been sunny and mid-60s for nearly a week and a half. But on February 25, I left the warm, sunny spring weather for the frigid, snow-covered tundra that is Athens, PA, and that is precisely where I've been all week. This is definitely the most snow I've ever seen! Today was a "warm" 42 degrees, which is the highest temperature I've seen all week, but it was windy, so it still wasn't very comfortable to endure.
    Secondly, the week has mostly meant playing both catch-up on late work and get-ahead on future work to ease the stress. Up to 9 hours/day of homework, projects, and design jobs, it has certainly been busy. I have had no time to even post!
    But, with all that said, I have thoroughly enjoyed my week away from campus. I am back with TK, my beloved roommate who graduated last semester. I am also getting lots of sign language practice! Photography has also been on my "to do" list this week, partly as an assignment for my Digital Media class, but partly because (since snow is relatively new to me) it is absolutely awesome to shoot!
     Also, the animals in this house are the most photogenic creatures (human or not) I have ever seen. They see a camera, and they twist, pose, pause, and practically say "cheese" to allow for a great shot. Take our friend, Patches here, for instance. This is one of about 20 good pictures I have of this cat alone. There are still plenty more of the other cat and two dogs!
     I know this post is relatively useless to most people. But it was a much-needed break from my work, so I hope you would beg my pardon and accept promises for more a better, more hobby-related post next time! Also, I would like to develop a catchy blog sign-off. Abrupt endings to my posts annoy me, as I am usually somewhat eloquent with words. But some high level of cheesiness like "until next time" or "signing off" absolutely will not suffice. Perhaps I will try out a few different ones, and wait until someone says something.

*catchy sign-off to be announced at a later date*
