Hearts, Flowers and a lot of snow

Well, the girls at La Discoteca (aka the Duplex) made off pretty well after V-Day. Three Bouquets of flowers, a bowl of milk duds and malt balls,and a pot of gold from Derek...we all knew we were well loved.
It's snowing like cats and dogs today and is really the first real snow we have gotten since Thanksgiving. For Nebraska being known for its cold winters, we have been spoiled with 60 degree days. Lately have just been trying to make it month to month with money, which is scary seeing as the situation never seems to be getting better. We read a poem by Sir Walter Raleigh in Renaissance Lit., where he discussed how the learned become poor if thats the case then I will probably be out on the street begging by the time I am 30. I have been trying to tell myself that not having much money helps you realize the sweeter things in life, so far I am not convincing myself.
Exciting things of the week: Simon has an interview today to teach at SCC, I got a 98% on a Spanish test(this has never happened before), and Meg's sister is valedictorian at her high school! This is a lot of things to be thankful for even though times may be a little rough.
