Well after a wonderfully warm Monday and a dreary Tuesday, the snow has been falling on campus since I woke up this morning and hasn't let up ... we're expected to get 3-5 more inches by morning and another 1-3 during the day tomorrow. Schedules for tomorrow morning are already being changed around in my townhouse in anticipation of an early morning trip to the mountain. I hope it stops snowing and the roads clear up so we can make it there for the first runs of the day!
I have my first exam of the semester tomorrow. It's in my Media & Iraq class. It's an open note exam, but we've covered so much material, and there is just so much general background information on the war and Iraq in general that you're expected to know, that it actually turns out to be be more than expected. One of my roommates is also in the class with me, so we sat down tonight and outlined the study guide and looked up a lot of things we had confusion about. Sometimes it's really nice to study with a roommate and bounce ideas off each other.
After that it was a very relaxing night in our house. While a couple of my friends were in bed early (the campus flu has hit our house hard and one of my roommates is up early to student teach everyday), the rest of us hung out together downstairs. Two of us are taking Calligraphy this semester, and our homework assignment for the night was just general practice, so the two of us sat down there writing out quotes and everyone's names over and over and over again. Another roommate worked on making some homemade Valentine's. It was relaxing though - and one of those nights that you just enjoy everyone's company. Plus we're all like little kids when it comes to snow!
Everyone's starting to (slowly) recover from the shock of the Pats' loss (although I was surprised by the number of Giants fans on this campus) and I think a lot of eyes were on college basketball tonight. Syracuse lost a close game to UConn earlier, and I'm off to watch the end of the Duke/UNC game in bed. It's great to have Dick Vitale back announcing - he really is the voice of college basketball, albeit an opinionated voice. I just saw UVM picked up a big win tonight, too. If only some of this luck could spread to our men's basketball team - keep your fingers crossed for them this weekend!
