A few weeks ago, right before we left for Thanksgiving break, it snowed here at PC. Lots of students here had never seen snow before, so most people were pretty excited. I, on the other hand, hate snow. It's cold, and it's wet, which makes you more cold. Even I had to admit, though, that it was a very pretty snowfall that day. It didn't stick to the ground or anything, and the day wasn't ridiculously freezing, so it was just a quiet, pretty bit of snowfall. I thought it was pretty cool that many people's first New England (or PC) snowfall was so nice.

Also, last night here at PC, we had fire drills. PC is very fire conscious, and we have to do so many rehearsals this year, so we checked the second block last night. Of course, it happened right in the middle of my show (the one night a week I watch tv is the night they choose. Naturally), but I did notice something. All the way from elementary to high school, fire drills are a great chance to socialize and catch up on interesting news. Well, college is no exception. The whole floor congregates together and it's just a nice opportunity to catch up the lives of people you live with (and it IS amazing how you can be two rooms down from someone and not see them for days).

Just some observations!

Also, I know that December is a pretty crazy month for college applications. I applied early to PC myself (probably one of the smartest decisions I made) and I can sympathize with all you high school seniors biting your fingernails right now. Well don't worry, before you know it, the holidays will be here and this whole crazy rush will take a backseat for a while!

Good luck!
