Today was an okay day. School was long and a little boring, but we got out early so that was good. I've been thinking about trying to go home some time, but I'm not sure if I should risk it. I know that they shut down the pass a while ago because of conditions; plus, there was a 28 car pileup in Vantage two days ago. So, although I really miss everyone, I don't think it's worth my life. I'm pretty sad about it though, Tom and I are celebrating two years on MLK day and I won't get to be there. I won't be there for his birthday either. I feel like I always miss so much living out here, it's like having kids and always being at work during the critical moments, you can never get that time back.


Maybe next year I can get an apartment and convince him to move out here until I finish school. I'm sure he would if I asked, but I'm not sure if he would be able to find a good job out here. I would need to find a place to take pets too (because we have lots of those) and of course, I can't afford much. Perhaps it's just a pipe-dream.
