Easter trip to Harvey and back into Winter conditions!

Well my Easter was a blast!  I went to Harvey, ND again last weekend but to spend Easter with the Marchand family this time! The last time I was there was for Thanksgiving, but I'm glad I was able to go there again and spend time with an awesome family.  It is so much fun getting away to a small town like that and not worrying about anyone or anything. I unfortunately didn't take many pictures while I was there this time, mostly because I took pictures of the whole town my first visit there back in November. If you haven't seen what the town looks like, check out my post back in November to see it all!  I did a lot of the same things while I was there this time; just hanging out, going to see a movie in the one movie theater, and eating delicious meals! Overall it was a fantastic weekend there. 

Don't hit the deer!
This week went by just as fast as all of the others.  I am making sure to not get behind in my classes and just power through the remaining 5 weeks of school.  English has definitely been my most difficult class this semester.  I have never been good at writing and the techniques the professor is trying to teach us are just absolutely ridiculous.  She pretty much told us that anything we learned in high school doesn't apply to this class. I find that very upsetting considering all throughout high school my teachers would tell me that this is preparing us for college. No more MLA format, no structure (meaning intro, body, and conclusion) and she pretty much makes us write about stories we have read in class.  One of the topics I had to write about were "What are the literate arts said to be good for?" I mean seriously? I don't even think she knew what that meant either. So I have been writing bogus papers for the whole semester just trying to get through this class. :(

And then Friday afternoon... 
Taken Thursday Afternoon...
So throughout this semester, weather has been continuously terrible (as you all know). Usually, weather is beautiful during the week and gets terrible on the weekends. That was the case for this week once again.  It was clear skies all week (around mid 30's) and a lot of the snow had melted away. Then starting last night, right as the weekend started, it snowed. Today has been terrible weather too and it's supposed to continue on till tomorrow. Then Monday's weather is calling for party cloudy skies and like 38 degrees. Are you kidding me?! Why can't the weekends have good weather when we can actually go out and do stuff? It is just upsetting and I am so tired of the Winter. 
I have just under 2 weeks until I will be going home for my sisters Confirmation! My little brother will also be out here visiting me the whole week before that! So I have something to look forward to soon. I just hope it warms up a little by then so that I can go out and do stuff with him.
What every day should look like here....
I register for Fall classes next week and I plan on adding another class to give me closer to 20 credits next year. After having two semesters of 16 credits, I realize I can definitely handle another class and it is also a benefit so that I don't have to worry about finding extra classes to take my senior year. Already thinking ahead :)

Still want ideas of what I can talk about in future posts!
