[Day 75] SNOW!

It's snowing!!!

This morning I heard raindrops on my window sill and I was pretty upset because I knew it was supposed to snow today. I opened my curtains and saw the weirdest combination of precipitation that I've ever seen. It was simultaneously raining and snowing. Rain was falling straight down from the sky and snowing was blowing from the canal area...it was so weird. There was a girl walking with an umbrella and two boys throwing snowballs. I wasn't sure whether to wear my winter coat or rain coat.

Anyway I decided on my winter jacket and went to Lit at 10. It was a struggle and really boring, that class isn't much fun. We're reading the Canterbury Tales, which I've already read. After that I had seminar and then Sammie and I walked to Hayfield for our usual Tuesday 3 pound lunch. I seriously crave their chicken tikka roll. Sammie and I always seem to have really intense conversations during lunch, it's interesting. After lunch we walked back to campus and I decided I couldn't bring myself to go to my Poetry lecture so I helped Kate and Erin bake a cake. I mostly just stood there and ate icing while they baked the cake. Then I finished my paper for Lit that's due tomorrow. At 4 I went to my Poetry seminar and then after class I went to Sammie's flat and she and I cooked dinner. We made delicious ravioli and sauce. 

I haven't really done much since. I'm volunteering all day tomorrow to finish up my volunteer hours. After tomorrow I'll have 25 done but I spoke with someone in charge and I'm allowed to use a few hours for travel time since I live all the way in Mile End.

The rest of the day it's been snowing pretty intensely; the rain is gone. Everyone here is walking around with umbrellas, it's so strange. I feel like there are more umbrellas out now than when it's raining. I think there are also a lot of people here that have never seen snow before. There is tons of yucky brown salt on the ground that's getting in my socks. I really wish I had snow boots right now...all I have are Sperry's. No good.

Also, the influx of weird kind of cute animal hats on campus are inversely proportional to the dropping temperatures. I don't get their obsession with wearing rabbit, panda, and cat faces on their heads. In any case, I'm happy because it's snowing!
