re: emergency school closure

"This email is being sent per authorization from Dean Martin. All Law School classes for Monday, January 28, 2008, have been canceled and the Law School itself will be closed. Please do not come in.

The Law School will also close today, Sunday, January 27, at 3:30 p.m.

For all who need to get out, please drive safely."

it's good that my whole weekend was so messed, that i didn't get this until i'd already hacked out my ice-encased car and driven all the way down there on monday afternoon, but i had to sit in my car and use the school wireless to read it.

FRIDAY:
quila was meeting me at my house, and then we were going to go down and sleep over at jaime's and go wedding shopping in the morning. i heard a car pull up and somebody opened the door, but instead of quila, it was my "crazy" bi-polar aunt mary. yeah, the one i tell stories about who dyed her hair green, tried to kidnap my sister once, and most recently has been on the run in california since she got in trouble for running over a cop's foot after she was involved in a police chase. yeah. so i was pretty...um...excited?...to see her at the door...she commenced her mile a minute yelling-crying-swearing tirade about things which largely are not real, and after calling my parents, and warning quila by text message, decided it was real lucky i wasn't planning on spending the night at home since g'ma was still in idaho, and being there alone with mary isn't a good idea. so i grabbed some pj's and anything of value that might not be safe at home with her, locked my room, and hi-tailed it outta there.

SATURDAY:
snowing. all day. went shopping. bought some cute jeans. quila tried on a wedding dress. we spent more time looking at lingerie though. travis called and invited us over to his place to watch a movie. tried to invite some boys but none of them could come. bummer. had to stop by my house to get clothes for church and other essentials that i'd forgotten in my haste the night before, since i wasn't staying there at night with mary and g'ma wasn't back yet. when i got there my uncle buster was there. *phew* he said that he'd make sure she was taken to the hospital, willingly or otherwise=cops. got out quick, went to travis's and had fun, then over to sleep at jaime's again. nice to have somewhere to go, but no internet still.

SUNDAY:
still snowing. got three calls that church was cancelled. the whole stake actually. then travis called and said his other ex-girlfriend wanted to know if i would tutor her in english grammar (she's only lived in the states a couple years). mildly awkward, and his signal was bad and we were playing phone tag for a bit. i told him i would, but didn't know if i could, or what i'd teach her. he said not to worry about it. and then texted saying sorry for asking and that she hopes there aren't any hard feelings between you two. of course there aren't. i barely know her, and haven't i always tried to be nice? he didn't say anything back. why do i always end up looking like the bad guy? mom called to say mary was safely back at the hospital, but i wasn't about to go home with two feet of snow on the roads when i live out in the boondocks, or getting to school in the morning would be awful. so, chilled at jaime's. jody made it home from oregon; only took 11 hours (instead of the normal 5-6). then we each got about 10 text messages and/or phone calls about pres. hinckley passing away. watched a random bollywood movie--who knew indian guys could be hot?

MONDAY
finally stopped snowing. but my car was encased. got the snow and ice off the windows, but didn't bother with the hood or roof cuz i didn't want to be late for school. managed to pull up in the parking lot 2 minutes before class started. no one else was here though. pulled out the laptop and saw the fun email. would have been nice to know that, but i couldn't get a signal on the wireless, or even the medianet on my phone to connect all weekend. oh look, professor morrissey just pulled up next to me. he's 40 minutes late for class. haha. well, i guess i'll go home and study. got a couple free hours now.

my birthday is in a week, so i really hope that next weekend is a little better, cuz i don't know if i could handle this kind of drama two weeks in a row...
