Charlottesville weather, you're killin me!

Charlottesville weather is going to make me go crazy!

By now you've probably gotten the gist that the one thing I really am on the fence about liking/disliking UVa is its weather.  It sucks, plain and simple.  Not in the sense that we have always crummy weather, because there are such bea-u-tiful days here that they would make a grown man cry.  However, it is the constant awesome, not awesome, perfect, terrible, roller coaster of weather that C'ville embarks on every year.  For example: two days ago it was 70 degrees...tomorrow: 3-6 inches of snow.  Yes, SNOW!
Being 21 and irresponsible about certain things, I see snow as a relapse to being 12 and being able to toss aside any duties, besides shoveling, and play.  And since I'm not home, shoveling responsibilities are left to Duckie #3 and I have zero responsibilities!  Snow usually meant missed school, since flurries would give Fairfax County a 2-hour delay and anything over an inch was usually no school.  College, however, UVa could ice over and they would set up tents for classes to be held in..they just don't cancel, so I usually miss the fun in the snow.  Tomorrow, different story!!  I will give up a day of soaring over C'ville to play in the snow, end of story.

Which brings me to the point of flying.  I haven't touched a plane in two whole darn weeks now, and it's depressing.  My next flight is a super long solo cross country, Cville>Richmond>Farmville>Louisa>Cville.  All in all, it has to be over 150nm and at least three full stops, which is why this one will be so long.
I scheduled time for Thursday just to get in a plane, and Tom calls me Wednesday night launching this grandiose plan on me.  Excellent.  I was totally nervous for it, as always, and I was really let down yesterday when it was scrapped for really strong winds across the runway.  Rescheduled for really early this morning: cancelled due to clouds/storm rolling in.  DUMB WEATHER.

In addition, I'm supposed to be testing my senior capstone project which involves solar cells to function.  Mother nature needs to take some Midol, ASAP, before she ruins all of my current life plans/things I need to do.   I did get a chuckle when a group member mentioned that she doesn't like the weather ruining her plans..welcome to my life of flying.

Flight is rescheduled for Sunday.  So until then, I'm going to for once enjoy the non-fly-able mess the weather-gods are dumping on C'ville.  SNOW SNOW SNOW!!  Cross your fingers for a post on the flight Sunday night!  This entire post was a ramble focused on my bitterness over the weather, so I need to get in a flight to bring back the excitement for sure.
