WatchTheSky Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Febrifuge - after glancing outside today, that's definitely one reason :D Another reason is that I figured if I end up going to school that close to home, I might as well save the cash and go to Western Michigan. But that's an entirely different story! Hope you're enjoying this winter storm as much as I am :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
