Snow!

Posted by Sarah

For most people, snow isn't a big deal, but for me, it is. I come from a tropical paradise where people put on scarves and mittens at 60 degrees (that's Fahrenheit, not Kelvin). Before this winter I had never been in a snowball fight, built a snowman, made a snow angel, had my legs sink up to my thighs when I stepped in the wrong place, or even seen snow for that matter!

Preparing for the snow was all new to me. I had to get a warm jacket. They don't even sell those those in Florida! I also had to get snow boots. I have a quick question: What are those exactly? Not to mention the ever-popular long johns—the only thing I could think of, aside from ski pants, to keep my legs warm!

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you see someone dressed like an Eskimo, wandering around campus sticking her tongue out to catch snowflakes, don't be alarmed! It's just me.
