Wow.
What an interesting week it has been. We got a strange snowstorm yesterday. Sarah and I needed to go to the CVS down the street, so we braved the weather. She noticed in the room a flash of light, I thought she was seeing things - you know, one of those tricks that your eye plays on you. At the same time a plow went by, so I just told her it was the flashing lights of the plow. [We are on the fourth floor…I highly doubt the flashing lights reached our room, I just didn’t want her to think that she was crazy.] As soon as we get outside though, there was another flash [and no way to say that it was her eyes, because I saw it too] and a crack of thunder. Whoa! It’s snowing!
I wasn’t completely surprised, actually. I saw something similar last year. It’s the strangest thing to see - two theoretically mutually exclusive weather systems. Apparently two fronts collided with one another. One was warmer than the other, and it created a thunderstorm/snowstorm.
So we got nearly a foot of snow from that storm. It actually feels like winter here, and just a little bit like Christmas. I guess we got quite a bit at home too. I hope that we still have some for next week, because next Saturday we are going to get our Christmas tree. I am looking forward to cutting down the tree, the wrangling it into the house, the hot cocoa, the fire and the chestnuts. And my dad and I struggling to untangle the lights. :oD Chris sounds so pitiful on the phone! He’s looking forward to my coming home really badly. He keeps trying to convince me to come home earlier than Friday. I have to decline, as I have exams.
Speaking of exams, this weekend is devoted to studying for them. Next week I have three exams to do: Shakespeare, Japanese and China History. I am not looking forward to my Japanese exam, but it’s the first one that I have. The worst one is the first one, and once it’s done….it’s done.
I figure if I study for all of my other exams today and tomorrow, I can work on Japanese Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday is filled with Japanese study groups. Oh! Fun!
Phew.
Sarah has her boyfriend Sam over right now. He’s a pretty cool guy, though he made the mistake of falling asleep on Sarah’s bed with two very bored girls and a Sharpie permanant marker. Muwahahahaha. We showed Hannah M, Maria and Rahela what we did. They were amused. :oD
Needless to say, he wasn’t happy to discover our doodles.
Anyways. Back to watching tv and playing neopets. Shh. Don’t tell anyone. :oD
