It brings me to say... that this city DOES NOT know how to handle a snow storm. A few weeks ago we got less than an inch and Drexel had to put thousands of pounds worth of salt on the sidewalks (end result: too much salt/not enough snow = salt EVERY WHERE. Every carpet, hard surface, stuck on the bottom of every shoe...) and now.. Market Street isn't even plowed or our sidewalks. Which is fine with me, I own boots and a keen sense of adventure (maybe I should invest in elbow/knee pads and a better sense of humor?)
That being said, some interesting things have happened in the past 24 hours.
Brittany, Meg and I decided to participate in a snowball fight... except we didn't know where it was. We did find it... 30 frozen toes and 40 minutes later, only to realize it was Americans vs. the Asian Honors students. Epic.
Aside from throwing snowballs, we made snow angels and walked around the area- really beautiful and serene. So much better than studying.
Although now as the day winds down, the uncertainty of classes tomorrow draws me back to my room with my books and highlighter. I shall now show you what a Drexel Snow Day looks like:
Starting off with breakfast/lunch at Drexel Pizza, I indulged in an amazing omelette (why is that the omelettes at the cafeteria where I paid thousands for a meal plan taste like cardboard and this one whose price shall not be mentioned taste just delicious? This should be my dissertation.)
Here is my view from the 10th floor... you can't tell but it's snowing like CRAZY. The city skyline is hidden in a white cloud. Really awesome... it's even better because you know you might not have to sit through Microeconomics.
My study station and my fuel- German Chocolate from Minh.
Well. Homework is done (for now!) and the snow calleth. Missing you all!
