Superbowl, Insane weather, and the FLU!!

Well this winter has been one of historic weather odditys <----(is that a word?) Anyway we had 12 inches of snow here at LCC, and just 2 days later we had lighting, thunder, sleet, rain, and SNOW...better name for it is THUNDERSNOW!!! Yes will it ever happen agian...who knows all I know is that snow and rain all in 2 days made for a muddy mess everywhere and college kids find that mess, and make a bigger one:P I was not apart of it I just watched and listened from my dorm room! ITs crazy ONLY in Illinois can it be 60 degrees one day and less then 12 hours can it be in the negitives and blizzarding!!!

The Superbowl was this past weekend and all I have to say is that the Manning brothers are pretty much the HOT topic of the NFL. MANY of you know I am a Peyton fan, but I was routing for Eli last Sunday, and with an AWESOME end of the game preformance the New York Giants took history away from New England...whcih was great for me because I am an Indianapolis Colts fan, and two years in a row one of the Manning brothers as beat Tom Brady!!!

Not only was it the Superbowl, but it was the birthday of our dorm mom here in Ruth Hall. Caryn Collins celebrated in style....with about 30 college students in the first floor lounge, watching football, and I am sure eating pizza or Jimmy John's. A few of us stuck to the lobby and decorated her office and front door... Take a look at the pictures. She enjoyed every mintue of it....even sweeping up the birthday confetti I thought was greatly needed!!!!

The FLU has hit Ruth Hall hard. I have managed to get both the stomach flu and Influenza A...which seems to be on my floor. I live on G3 which is the 3rd floor and on the G wing side. My wing as well as G2, and a few people on the H wings all have been diganosed with the FLU!!!!

It is insane. How Caryn and Steve live with 197 sick girls is beyond me. Caryn has it down to an art.....DRINK WATER, WASH YOUR HANDS, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING AFTER YOU COUGH, and of course GO TO BED!!!! The provider of Pepto Bismol, Lysol, the thing that takes one temp...(we will be here all night if I try and spell it out.)

We will all get through this...I am not sure if I will get through it because I seem to be the only one with BOTH kinds of FLU...I am a medical mystery...Dr Newcome just shakes her head and goes on:P:P:P
