Even walking to campus this morning at 7am with little cold, white flakes stinging my face, I couldn't deny the beauty of the newly fallen snow. It is amazing how the millions of little crystals glitter individually in the yellow light of the street lamps. Despite the piercing cold, the early hour, and the ever present threat of falling and breaking open my face, it was really quite lovely. And when I came home after my final, I was greeted by my dear roommates making snowballs with the snow on the cars in our parking lot. At first I was a bit concerned that they were going to attack me, but they didn't and soon a few other friends came out too. We ended up playing in the snow and having a mini-snowball fight. It was really fun and I actually enjoyed the snow and the cold and all. And now I am a disaster of wetness and cold, but in our warm, toasty apartment with the hope of going home tomorrow (yippee!), nothing can bring me down. In fact, I have one final to go and I am basically free! So, I can handle this chilly winter wonderland for a day and a half with the promise of sunshine and warmth awaiting me at home! I'm dreaming of a non-white Christmas! Here I come Arizona!
ciao
