Yay for Cold Weekends?

So this weekend's my last before I head home for Thanksgiving break! I can NOT tell you how excited I am for 9 days of my own bed, bathroom, delicious food (and not just on Turkey Day), free time and getting to be with my amazing family. Some days, the 132 miles (yes, I looked it up, thank you Mapquest!) between us just seems like so many more, especially when I'm counting down to a weekend at home. For some reason, they always go by way too fast though, since I'm usually going-going-going. Plus it probably has to do with the whole "time flies when you're having fun" thing.
Not that weekends on campus aren't fun, they just aren't nearly as fun. And they seem to drag. Last weekend was pretty long and dull, because I had a lot of homework to do and other stuff like laundry. Plus my friends from the hall went back to the Springs, so I was kinda lonely. Oh, except my roommate was there (as usual...she lives only about 30 miles away, and hasn't been home once except for one night!) but that's not really thrilling, since we're not friends. We talk occasionally, but she pretty much is hooked to her computer or leaves way late at night, interrupting my sleep. So yeah, we're not that close.
This weekend should be a little better...maybe. It's only supposed to be in the upper 30s and possibly snow tomorrow, so there's not much of a chance I'm gonna go outside to get away from my room. I might get to go out for dinner, but otherwise I'm going to the study lounge just down the hall so I can escape my room which is plagued with germs (yes, my roomie is sick with a cold, constantly coughs and spends most weekends completely in the room besides meals and bathroom breaks...so I'm not going to get much of a break from her this weekend, especially since she's sick :[ ). Maybe I'll brave a short walk, but only with coat and gloves.
And I do have more homework to do, not to mention laundry, just so I can give my mom a little break when I do go home. I have a math paper to write (really, a paper in math?), an essay to start (it's due the day after break, so if I don't want to be a slave to my laptop during break, I need to start it soon) and possibly study for a wildlife ecology test right after break. What is up with these teachers scheduling tests/papers for right after break? Couldn't they push it back a week to give us a chance to actually enjoy our free time? Oh, and spring registration officially begins for me at 3:20 p.m. on Sunday, so I'll frantically be trying to get into the classes of my choice at that time.
Another 'must-do' is watch SNL on Saturday. It's one of my favorite shows, and it really helps me unwind after a long week. It's new this week, too, so it's going on my weekend checklist.
Other than that, not much. I really hope I can do something with my friends, though, even if we just grab a frozen yogurt (crazy in this cold weather, I know, but there's a really good place that's only a ten minute walk from our dorm). I hope your weekend goes well too and is more exciting than mine. But I'm not complaining too much...less than a week til I go home :)
