I go tomorrow down to IU for an interview fair put on by the School of Ed.  I'll be interviewing with eight school systems tomorrow, and six of them will be done within two-and-a-half hours.  As if this wasn't nerve-inducing to begin with, my allergies (which rarely bother me) have been doing wonders with my nose and ears, and my eyes have developed a new, fun habit of watering in the last couple of days.  Thus, I'm now off to bed to wake up at 5:30 tomorrow morning in order to get ready and leave for B-town at 7am to be inside the Union on campus by 8:30 or so.  If you happen to think of it, any prayers or happy thoughts you could send in the direction of Bloomington between the hours of 9 and 3 tomorrow would be sincerely appreciated.

In case you haven't heard, ice storms have hit pretty much half of the states in the country.  One of the hardest hit states, Oklahoma, is also where a lot of my family members live.  My grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousins (and a few great aunts in southern Missouri) are probably going to be without power for (last they heard and that was reported on the news) at least 10 days.  Thankfully, everyone related to me is safe and sound for now, but there are plenty of people who aren't as lucky.  If you could keep them in your thoughts and prayers, I know they'd appreciate it.
