-23 degrees F as actual temperature. -42 degrees F as a wind chill. I don't know if I ever want to go back to Fargo in that weather. AWESOME.
But, the conference went great! My buddies (two guys who were just like my brothers) said we made our University look fantastic compared to the others. All of our scholarship was current and profound. AND, we used all of our allotted time, instead of just 5 or so minutes.
My first conference and I've already presented two papers. AWESOME. And, I'm an MA student. Even more AWESOME. I'm stuck on an AWESOME kick if you haven't noticed. I think my friends want to kill me...AWESOME.
A funny thing about the conference, though, is that we had to evacuate the building, because of a fire alarm in the morning. NOT AWESOME in that weather.

We went out to celebrate my friends Jess' 22nd birthday on Saturday, and let me tell you...I can now tolerate at least 3 shots and about 8 beer without getting sick. How sad is that?
My friends also decided that they might kidnap me and make me stay in Verm with them for the next couple years. I think Jeff might not like that idea too well... :)
Also, today my Mom and Dad called and asked me to go down to Sioux City and shop. I got a pair of galoshes for $5 (originally they were $45)! My dad thought I was insane, why at 25 would I want them? To remember the days when I was 5? No, because I want my feet to remain dry while I'm walking around this stupid campus/town/bar.
