Snowy Second Semester



As in many places this past week, there has been snow here. This picture was taken last week when my campus experience a brief amount of snow, but there is a considerably larger amount on the ground now.I have somewhat mixed feelings about this sort of precipitation. Yeah, I know what you're all thinking "you have mixed feelings about almost everything." I suppose you are correct, but I can't help but look at both sides of a situation.

Why I like snow:
There are many reasons why I like snow and the first one I will give you is that it looks so awesome. I mean you have those awesome flakes and the ground is all white and nice looking. Another reason I like snow is, of course, the fact that classes are canceled. True, only one of my classes was canceled, but that meant I was done at nine instead of four. Big difference. I also really like what snow does to people. It brings out a person's true self. Don't believe me? Think of it like this: if you ask someone how they feel about snow they will either say "I LOVE snow" or "It makes everything a hassle." See, they are either optimistic or pessimistic and that's probably how they are about everything.

Why I hate snow:
I am exceedingly clumsy and walking places in the snow causes me to trip more than usual. It is so cold outside I don't want to go anywhere. When you walk to class the bottoms of my pants' legs gets soaked and it feels gross when I take my shoes off. There's always a chance someone will want to play in the snow and that never seemed like a lot of fun to me.

I guess you can say there are more reasons, and better reasons, why I like snow. So I just tell people I like snow because it's not really a lie.

Since my last post I have started second semester and I am really enjoying it. On Mondays and Fridays I only have one class and it makes the weekend that much better. On Tuesdays I have three classes, but two of them are English courses so I don't mind too much. On Wednesdays and Thursdays I have two classes and Thursdays are the worst because I have my Physics lab. It's not that it's very difficult, but it is so boring.

My Introduction to Literature is my favorite class out of them all because we just read and talk about what we've read. Right now we're reading short stories and it even inspired me to write one of my own. My professor even read it and told me it was pretty good, she also gave me some tips to improve it. I can't wait to see how awesome this class can get.

Well, I hope you all have a great weekend and be careful in the snow.

  1. Why do the bottoms of 'your' pants legs get wet when 'I' walk to class?

    Glad you are enjoying your second semester.
