Paige E's Journal, 13 January 2009

First day of school. Felt like I should dress up in new clothes..:) It went well so far - have two more classes later this afternoon, then work tonight. My undergraduate degree was in political science and this communication stuff is WAY different. I'm used to doing a lot research - class time was ALL lecture. Now I actually have stuff due in class every week! That's just crazy to me. It will take some getting used to. Not to mention that I've been out of school for a very long time.

It is SOOOOO cold here today. The actual temperature is -9 right now. So its real fun getting to class.

Which brings me to my mini-celebration of the day - My long underwear fit!!! It may sound funny - but they are only a large. I got them for Christmas and I thought, "there is no way I can fit into a large. I need at least a 2x." Well, they fit. And they aren't even a plus size. Okay, they're a little tight, but I can get them on and I'm not dying in them. Another 5-10lbs and they will be perfect.

Woke up with my hands a little swollen. Probably retaining a little water from the bacon yesterday. It should be better after a lot of water today.

Congrats on fitting into your smaller size! If it's -9˚C/14˚F than I have you beat, but if it's -9˚F/-20˚C than you're just slightly colder than me and I understand your pain!

Good job. We have already been through -20F weather here and it was only 9F this morning and snowing. Cold helps you burn off those calories if you want to look at the silver lining.
