Visitors and Snow Days

Coming back from winter break was good.  It's always nice to take a fresh start.  Unfortunately, it is more than difficult when the family matriarch passes away right at the beginning of the first day back.  I thought about possibly taking the day off but figured that there was not anything I could do from here and what good would bumming around the apartment do me?  I stuck it out.  A friend brought brownies and all was basically well.  School has been going well and we just finished up the first semester.  It is a very crazy time as teachers rush to complete gradebooks and comments and students flock to find out how they can raise their grades that one or two (or twelve in some cases) percent to get to that next grade level/pass.
