Dashing through the Snow...
...in a one-horse open sleigh, over the hills we go... laughing on all the way... Ha Ha Ha.

No I am not in a one-horse sleigh or laughing all the way. I hate the snow, it sucks to drive in, the backs of your pant legs get that salt stripe on the back, your car always looks dirty, getting anywhere takes longer, you spend half the day putting warm clothes on and then taking them off, the inside of GVSU buildings are freezing, and dusting snow of your car is a pain!

So enough complaining. I needed to vent. I want to send a big shot out to the NX. My little NX 2000 has been a trooper. I have not gotten stuck, slid of the road, went out of control or had a hard time driving. She has been a total trooper. I was worried that with the winter rims and tires making her even lower to the ground she would struggle. But she is plowing through the snow and gripping the ice like a dream. I am so impressed. She just keeps on making me proud.

Piles of snow in front of the house.

The little NX, sitting on the winter rims.

I have not posted about the NX in a while. Mostly because I have not worked on her in a while. I do not have money to add any more cool things to her right now. She deserves something and I am not sure what right now. Maybe that MOMO steering wheel I have been meaning to install? Or how about finally hooking up the Satellite radio in her and getting the subs pumping. She deserves from TLC and I need to find the time to work on her.

At work, the NX gets me there on time and safely.

Here is the MOMO Wheel I have waiting to be installed.

This week I got a lot of things done. Wrapped up the Greek Leadership Conference stuff, just a few more things to do and that will be ready to get handed off to the new grad next year. Becky and I had a good thesis meeting and tonight we will crank out even more. And this weekend I am going to head to Kalamazoo to watch the SuperBowl with my chapter down there. It will be fun!

Oh The Snow
So we have a snow day. Classes as of 6pm were canceled at GVSU. So that meant no night class and I got to take a break for the night. So I am trying to get caught up on a few things. I finally got all my Bolivia pictures ready for the web. Here they are:

Bolivia 2003

Once you click on a thumbnailed picture you will get the full-size one with a description of the picture. If you follow them from the start to end they are in the same order as my trip. Also I explained most of the trips and other things in my blogs for the those days. Just look back for the details. The gallery will be up for a while, but I will delete it soon because it is using a lot of server space.

For the rest of my night I am planning to get some thesis work done, organize my room a little, finish some other class assignments, and also relax. I need to eat now and then get to work.

Maybe tomorrow will be another snow day. A man can always dream.

I think the conference was a success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, the presentations all went very well and everything ran smoothly. I want to thank Shawna for putting up with my organizational style and we pulled this thing off. Good work. I am so proud of how it turned out.

I also want to thank Andres for being a presenter and all the Brothers of Sigma Lambda Beta who supported me and helped make this conference a success. I think multicultural Greek organizations made up about 15% of the participants. That speaks volumes on the direction of the leadership of those organizations (since we make up about 2% of the Greeks in the state). Thanks to the students who took a Saturday to come to GVSU. I hope you all had a good time while learning new things you can all apply back to your campus and local communities. Thanks again!

Alright... so today Andres and I came home to Saginaw to see Raquel and little Valerie. We also wanted to wish my mom happy birthday. Her birthday is this week so we wanted to come and have a family dinner. It was nice. But now I have a dilemma. Tomorrow I am supposed to have a meeting in Lansing with a client for Outsight. However the weather channel just posted a Severe Weather Alert until tomorrow, and are calling for severe weather until Tuesday! I can not be here that long. Here is the doppler now:

So... I am thinking of running to Lansing tonight so I can be there for my meeting. The weather forcast for the Grand Rapids area is not as bad. So maybe from Lansing to GR will be fine so I can get back to my place tomorrow afternoon to work at CompuCraft. Time will tell.

Well I got to check on my laundry (got to wash clothes when I go home, its free) and call Andres to see how the weather is there and decide if I make the drive tonight still. Wish me luck getting home.
