So, I stayed up all night studying for a midterm, and in an ironic twist (after making this thread yesterday), I'm able to enjoy my first snow day. Apparently the storm got bad enough for BU to close.

Now I can sleep.. heh

Doesn't effect me since no longer in school, but yeah school closed in New York as well.

Felt bad woke one resident up minutes to 6 to catch his bus because didn't know schools were closed.

Happy don't go back to work still Wedn night so tons of R n R.

And I love the sight of snow when I can stay still.

We got some nice snow and ice (skating!) a few months ago. Now I think it's finally becoming spring. I think I wouldn't mind some more snow though. I just wouldn't get as excited as last times.

Crazy scandinavian.

I get a e-mail blog/promo thing from this cd dealer who lives up in the scandinavian netherlands are and he's always happy about the snow. It irrationally irritates me.

The only people who have it worse than the midwest are Canada and maybe New York.

But seriously, bring on the global warming. It's 19 degrees and we have had lake effect snow for the past 36 hours. I'm ready for some 60s.

Tell me about it. I'm looking forward to the 50's we're supposed to get later this week.

Scandinavian Netherlands, now that's something I'd like to see before I die.

Bah it's the same area

Up north where it's cold and the metal lives strong fierce and free.

Speaking of Netherlands, I'm there right now! Rotterdam is interesting...We actually have a day off so I walked around for a few hours and saw some different neighborhoods. Anyway, yeah, it's nice, but off to Germany at 3 or 4 AM

"28°?!

ITS FUCKING COLD"

WOW! It was gorgeous out today!

And it's 4:40am...I just finished writing a 9-page paper for my Psychology class, and I have the windows all cracked and my fan blowing, and there is fresh air outside and it smells like spring!

It is a slice of heaven compared to what we have been having. Right now it is in the mid-50s. I guess tonight we are supposed to get thunderstorms and drop back into the 30s. =/

But it looks like it is supposed to warm up again, and more thunderstorms!

I LOVEEEEEEEEE THUNDERSTORMS.

I also love jogging in the city. I jog through downtown Chicago a lot, and I have the whole Chicago lakefront at my disposal...I'm about a mile (at most) from the lake, so I can jog down to the lakefront and run it.

I can only run outside in warm weather though because of my breathing. I'm psyched for warm weather.

Anyway.......

Freshman year I jogged through downtown Chicago during a huge lightning/thunder storm, and hearing the thunder echo through the city was crazy awesome. I'm on the south west corner of Chicago looking towards the city, so I have a pretty nice view of the city (and if I get about 10 stories up a view of the south lake front).

Normally I would be tired of winter, BUT, im going skiing in Colorado over my spring break (I'll be in Colorado march 7-12 to be exact), so I hoping for one more blast of winter in Steamboat. It was 50 there today which has me worried, but the temps are suppoused to drop. Looking forward to it.
