Well…this just about sums it all up…
What a wild couple of days. A three-day weekend and now day two of no school, this time due to the ice storm we started getting late yesterday afternoon.
This is only my second year in Moses Lake, but I’ve been told that the weather we’re experiencing is not typical and no one recalls the district being closed this many days before.
I received a text that the Transportation building was closed, but only checked my messages after getting into work at 4:30 AM. No worries, though, I have more than enough to keep me busy today. The one upside of this is that the temperatures have warmed up a bit; no more wearing long-johns to bed. 😉
I completed and submitted my assignment for Statistics and Probability: Module 4 – Examining Distributions and now am working through Module 7 – Sampling. I’m hoping to get this module and assignments completed today and that will only leave two more modules before I can take the pre-assessment (again).
Module 7 – Sampling completed and submitted. Now it’s time to tackle Module 8 – Designing Studies.
It’s still really nasty outside. The roads have about 1/2″ of ice on them.
I have an ’07 Jeep Commander. I’ve had this vehicle since August, 2009, and have put almost 175,000 miles on it since. Aside from having to replace the starter a couple of times, a bad solenoid on my transmission, replacing the front bakes three times, and having a buggy electrical system that likes to randomly lock my doors, it’s been dependable and probably hands down the best snow vehicle I’ve ever owned.
I’m thinking that I might want to get something more fuel efficient for my drive back-and-forth to Winthrop on the weekends, but I think that’ll be sometime later this year. I do like all things Subaru, though.
It was so nice to get my workout in early. Every day that we’ve had no school (5 days over the last two weeks), I’ve been able to leave work around 1:00 PM and go to the gym. Otherwise, I’ve had to go either early in the morning (around 5:00 AM – and I’m not very inspired at that time in the morning) or after work which is generally around 6:00-6:15 PM. My routine is around 1.45 hours so by the time I’m done it’s time for me to go to bed so I can get up at 3:00 AM the next morning. The good thing about this routine is that my weeks fly by.
