Rain and cold VS. sun and warm...which one is DC?

I have heard reports from numerous people that it is sunny and warm in Michigan. I mean, sure, several people have told me this, but until I actually see it, I refuse to believe it to be true. To make matters worse, it's raining (and has been for 3 days) and semi-cold. It doesn't seem like I can catch a break anywhere. Usually I get rained on walking to work, I get rained on walking back from work, and then I get rained on running after work. And if you are really lucky, the wind is blowing!

Today was probably my least busy day at work since I started in January. I just didn't have anything to do, and well, I sat there. I tried to find things to do, just nothing presented itself. I actually got to watch old tape of Slick Willy Clinton, and Mr. Jimmy "I farm peanuts" Carter today, just for fun.

I am in the process of starting/completing several projects for class/seminar. I have a research paper on cap-and-trade policy, I have a posterboard presentation to do, I have to do something regarding a journal (though nobody knows what, and our professor doesn't really mention it, except in passing. And finally, and this one we all just found out, I have to interview someone (about what nobody is quite sure) and write a paper regarding my findings. With working long hours everyday, school gets lost in the shuffle.

I have just recently realized how routine my time here has become. I wake up at 6 am, I shower, eat breakfast, and go to work. I caffenate, work, caffenate some more, eat lunch, and eventually make it back to my apartment. From there (although I am exhausted), I run 4-5 miles, come back, shower, make dinner, eat, type up a blog posting of my nothing days, and get to bed. And this happens most days, Mon-Thurs. Oh, and I go to class, though half-awake, and desperately write notes until the point where I am trying to so hard to write, but nothing legible come out of my pen, and I just give up. You know when you have reached this point when it is just squiggles. I would love to go out on thursday nights, but, at that point, being so tired, all I can think of is sleeping, which I do most times. Fridays and Saturdays are mixed with some sites, maybe a real meal or two, and some homework. Real exciting...right?

If this is what the real world is like, sign me up for the fake world!

p.s. My dell has been acting up, I think it has some mad crazy viri (my plural form of virus).
