first snow

First snow!! As I sat in the library yesterday preparing for the lovely event we know fondly as finals, I looked out of the window to see soft and delicate snow fall on campus. Many aren't too happy to see this cold condensation again, but maybe because I never grew up with it, I am excited!! Hot chocolate, warm blankets, socks and boots, big jackets... how can anyone complain with these?? But one reason for the joyous response to the layer of snow is a little thing I like to call skiing. I have already purchased my ski pass and, soon, I shall also be purchasing the Costco sized box of handwarmers.

So to those who are sad to see the new season, I say "bring on the snow!!"
