Snowed in and sleepy

So, we're pretty snowed in here in the northeast and school has been canceled for the second time this  week.

My dog, is the only one who still loves the snow and gets really excited when she sees it. Me? I'm mehhhhhh about it. And I hate the word "meh".

I figured this is a good of a time as any to tell you how my first full semester went. 
Well... I got straight As and I got on the Dean's List for the Fall 2013 semester. 
I am not a bragging person really and I don't really like going on about things like that because people get annoyed. So that will be the only time you will hear me mention the Dean's List. 

I haven't been writing creatively all that much aside from one song, yes, song. 
I wrote the lyrics to some music I had on my iPad's Gatageband app for a while. I recorded the vocals and then posted them to Facebook. Incidentally, on a music fan page that I hadn't used in over a year. 
It's called "Heartbeat". Here it is if you aren't my friend on Facebook.

As for the novel I'm doing as much editing as I can inbetween school assignments. There's been a lot of tweaking and rewriting. That Creative Writing class did do me some good, although I'm terrified of others opinions on the story at this point. It's kinda like a baby, I'm not ready for it yo go out in the world yet. 

Maybe some beta readers first?
