Snow and ice and finals, oh my

Well, tis time for my last post of the year. Classes are done, tonight is the last night of work, and finals start on Friday…*gulp*

A few mildly interesting things have happened to me in the last week since I posted. I went home over the weekend to study/ attend a Chanukah party. Before I could leave, however, I had to dig myself out of the two or so feet of snow surrounding my car….plus the hard packed snow that had plowed me in. I was doing this at an amazingly slow pace when these two burly guys baring shovels emerged from the dorm. They had seen me from a window and thought I needed help. In about ten minutes I was on the road. I love the people at this school!

I had a great weekend. It is nice to get away from Beloit sometime before finals because going home is just so comforting! Plus I got to do the usual at home; late night Perkins runs, conversations ‘till 2am, showing up randomly and surprising people, Ancora coffee…yeah. It was a very relaxing weekend.

After I got back to campus I had the Les Mis soundtrack stuck in my head. One of my friends very helpful removed the CDs from my vehicle, meaning that Les Mis Disk II was the only CD I had to listen to. Though I love such songs as “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables” and “A Little Fall of Rain,” hearing them all weekend was a bit much.

We had another snow fall recently followed by freezing rain. Everyone here has been slipping their way to class, and the ice is a trifle annoying, but it is so beautiful. While I was walking to the office tonight, the trees in a certain light looked as if they were made completely of glass. I have seen so many people taking pictures, but I am not sure a picture can do justice to the fairytale-like quality. I love winter.

Well, thanks all for reading my ramblings this semester, look forward to writing more for ya’all when school starts again in January. Have a great nondenominational winter break, and a good holiday season.
