One thing only

If you live around here, I'm sure you suffered just as much as I did when on Tuesday it would just not...stop...SNOWING. My friends reading this in California might be all "...but it's SNOW! RUDOLPH! YETI!" but there is a line drawn somewhere between dashing through the snow and baby it's cold outside, and that line came yesterday.

When I was still taking Egyptian I would have a study session with a grad student named Katie. In addition to having the most beautiful wedding ring I have ever seen on anyone, including Catherine Zeta-Jones's 10-carat bowling ball hanging off her ring finger, Katie had a great sense of humor and had studied around 12 dead languages. She had gone to Harvard for a bit, and I remember her telling me that the minute it started snowing in Harvard, there would be people running around with cups collecting the snowflakes, and then I'm sure they went into some vault where they would be labeled with something like "Snowflake sample #17,985,423, acidity 3%."

Not here! I was forced to leave for class 10 minutes early to trek from the Reg to Cobb and why? Not because those two buildings are far away. Merely because I had to use the whole "Right foot down, hold for 10 seconds, left foot down, hold for 10 second" technique and going up slippery, steep staircases meant "Right foot down, hold for a minute, left foot down, hold for a minute."

In conclusion, some snow is no longer that beautiful. Adding together my near slips and falls, I'd say that it would amount to a grand total of 3 fantastic smashes into the ground, but since I've caught myself every time, I'm still ok. Not like that time where I slipped down and entire staircase in Cobb and ended up with the most delicious smack at the very bottom.

So I'm just going to tally this up as Snow: 1 Adrianne: 0.
