Has anyone ventured outside tonight? I was forced to head to campus for an exam at 7:30PM tonight and I returned home at 10:00PM. As many of you probably know, I live at Resurrection College – exactly close enough to walk (by that I mean that you have no excuse for driving) but still located further than the other college residences; it’s located across the street on Westmount. Unfortunately, this meant that I trudged my way to campus (to write a brutal exam, because that’s what I do on Saturday nights) and I was nearly eaten by snow.
It’s deceptively shallow! You might think that it’s only going to swallow your foot — and then you step into it and it eats your entire right leg. Or at least, it ate mine the first time I underestimated it… but then again, I’m a short Asian woman. So it might just eat your ankles or something.
Anywho – I just wanted people to know that under all that fluffy powdery wonderfully not-soft snow is ice. Be careful when you’re walking because if the snow finds out you’re too tall to be eaten whole, the ice will drag you down (probably a hill, like it did to me) and attempt to bring your head closer to the ground.
That being said, it was all a lot of fun! I chose to slide down the small hill near Westmount (and into oncoming traffic…) and laughed the whole time.
Hope everyone’s exams are going well!!
