Don't ever expect them or get your hopes up for them. Ever. They just DON'T happen at Ohio State.

Get your UGGs/rainboots/boots of any kind, heavy coat, sweat pants, mittens, scarves, hats, earmuffs, hoodies & umbrellas ready, and have them prepped for use at a moment's notice .. sometimes for use all at the same time - like today.

I scraped a sheet of ice and 5 inches of snow off of my car this morning and slid my way on the roads to school. I parked on West Campus in a lot with thousands of other students' cars that were parked nowhere near the actual parking lines - people just DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN SNOW! This, in my opinion, should all be grounds for a snow day, but.. wishful thinking, hm? I sucked it up and trekked in the freezing rain to both of my Tuesday classes.

There's been only one snow day at Ohio State that I can recall since I've been here. It was last Valentine's Day - so, this same week last year. Sarah Silverman (the comedian) was supposed to be performing a free show for students, but it was cancelled and never rescheduled (sad.) That there was a snow day was miraculous.

In the meantime while all you crazies are praying for snow days, I'll be trying to figure out my life and going to two advising appointments AND scheduling for spring '08 on Thursday. Ah, such is the college life of confusion and contemplation.

Sprrriiinnnggggg hurry up so my friends & I can have picnics on the Oval and so I can start working on the Mosaic mag. layout!
