It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Last night around 7:45 when my only friend left here on campus, Hannah, and I were walking back from dinner, I noticed that a nice, light, snow was beginning to fall.  It was so pretty! Unlike San Antonio "snow" (sleet!), the snow kind of twirled and danced to the ground. 2-3 hours later after watching Elf and Mean Girls in my room, I looked outside and saw snow beginning to collect on the curb! But soon after, that had melted away.

First bit of snow

But around 11:30, it began to snow again. This time, harder, and projected by really really strong winds, it's like it was snowing sideways! So I made Hannah sit in a dark room with me, listen to Christmas music, and watch the snow fall for apx. 2 hours. Being from Chicago, she wasn't impressed, but she kept saying, "I'm so happy I'm here to see you like this!" haha, she thought my wonder at the snow was pretty humorous.

Starting to build up!!

Last night, Hannah slept on the futon in my room (both her and my room mate are already home for the break) and I restlessly slept up in my bed, but with my head to the foot of the bed so I could watch the progression of the snowfall. Sure enough this morning, I woke up to a "ski resort" (as Angie once said she wanted to wake up to. Haha, sorry Ange!).  It looked like it had continued to snow through the night and it is still going as I type this entry from the warmth of my room :) So Exciting!!!!!

This morning, outside my window

The Busch Student Center & Grand Ave.

The Quad & Library

Now for things that aren't so exciting:
1. The thought of walking to the library in this gusty storm in about 2 hours.
2.  The thought of walking to the metro in this gusty storm on Tuesday (if it's still going).
3.  The thought of waiting at the metro in this weather.
4.  The thought of my flight being delayed on Tuesday because of this weather.
