SNOW!!!

[The Koebel Building]

Hey everyone!
Hope that break went swimmingly and that everyone is gearing up for their finals! My break went pretty well and consisted mainly of cooking my first ever turkey solo and sleeping in... pretty typical I suppose! : ) I didn't even realize it when we went to break, but we only have one more week of classes coming up after this Friday- and then finals are upon us!

Everyone should know that after your last final, you need to "vacate the building" after 24 hours- and all the dorms are closed over break. Don't forget anything here, because no one will be around to let you in! : (

Today was the first real snow of the year, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it! It's really funny to be around to see my friends who haven't seen snow before- I can't even imagine how weird it must be to see it in movies and on TV all the time and never get a chance to make a snowball or build a fort! Outside Darley Commons today people were so psyched for snowboarding that they built jumps along all the stairs, which was pretty funny to watch when I went to get dinner and my mail.

Campus looked even more picturesque than usual (hard!) and even though my feet were freezing because I left my boots at home, I managed to snap a few shots of our first storm of the season. Biking around campus in the snow seems like a feat within itself... somebody told me earlier this year, "Once you fall off your bike in the snow once, it never happens again." Sort of scared me into taking the bus for a while. : )

My camera even got snowed on! [Norlin Quad]
