Pleasantly Surprised
It's still occurring. Wow.
I went to bed at 3 AM this morning, expecting to have to wake up at 7, all tired and drowsy, barely ready for my 8 AM class. Well, I get a text message at 5:50 AM (my phone is turned up to the highest volume so I can hear my alarm go off. I don't put it at "no ring except for alarm" as I'm afraid it'll be too soft) saying that all classes are canceled due to snow!!! So excited, I immediately turn my phone off, and then hand my roommate's phone to him (waking him up) and tell him to do the same. We woke up at around noon. (So I went from 4 expected hours of sleep to 8. Nice.)
It's about an inch and a half probably, nothing compared to what I have back at home (9-10 inches apparently), but considering we supposedly never get snow here in Newport News, and a snow day being less likely, this is a very pleasant surprise. (I hear Richmond has 6 inches or so and JMU has even more. I have a feeling the whole state of Virginia is whited out right now.)
So what am I doing? Well, some of us had a minor snowball fight, but that didn't last long because this stuff is cold! (Who knew?!) I don't have gloves.... But now I'm "doing homework," such as revising and finishing a paper. Oh, and if I can figure out if Irfan View or Gimp can make wallpapers easily I might have a cool news report for y'all. If not, then it'll be mediocre. Hey look a news report.

(For some reason my friend isn't letting me borrow her camera...because she found out I wanted to take Lego pix with it. Wow, I've never had a "friend"* that has been intolerant of my hobby before. I should be able to use another friend's camera though. Luckily I borrowed another friend's** camera and have an awesome MOC to show you soon.)
*Not that we get perfectly along anyway...
**A very good friend I wish I hung out with more...
