SNOW?!?!????!!!????!??!?

So this morning I woke up, totally ready for the day. I had spent quite literally every hour yesterday studying for a test I had today. I was proud of myself. I took just enough breaks to keep me motivated but not so much that I was distracted, I didn't go on Facebook (I know, SHOCKER), and I felt like I know everything there is to know about the Middle Ages. I felt ready. I woke up this morning to the most annoying sound I have ever had to hear, my obnoxious alarm clock. If I could kill that thing, I would. So I fell out of bed (since our beds are like 10 feet off the ground), grab my towel and shampoo, and head for the shower. Finally, after warming and waking up for the day, I step out of the bathroom and my roommate is doing her hair. We exchange morning greetings and I begin to get dressed. She then says to me, "Have you seen the snow yet?"...............

I quite literally got mad for a second. I ran to the window and lo and behold, the ground is white and there are these annoying little white flakes falling from the sky. The sky is an ugly grey and my morning is officially ruined. I had almost made it!!! Two more days and I'll be back to better weather in California! I was hoping to be able to beat the snow home and wait till Winter Semester to deal with crappy weather. Luckily, after about an hour or so, the sky cleared a bit, it stopped snowing, and the small amount of snow on the ground began to melt. By the time I had to leave my dorm to go to my first test, the snow was a more like a frosting on the ground. I still managed to slip a couple of times on my way to the test, and it was still cold out, but by the end of the day, the snow is gone and I am happy again.

Now don't get me wrong, I like the snow. I am not a deprived California kid who has never seen the stuff. I do have friends like that and I feel bad for them. I do, however, enjoy the snow for limited times. I know this winter I will literally freeze to death. It has already been so cold up here that I have never been colder in my life. To have snow on top of that, who would choose to live in that miserable weather? Yeah, it's pretty, when it first falls to the ground, and it's fun for a few days, but then it turns brown and nasty and everything is wet and cold. I am a California girl through and through. Sorry mom, I know you love it, but I can only take so much snow before I literally freeze to my death. Hopefully, the weather will be nice again for tomorrow and Thursday, then it can snow all it wants and I will be prepared to deal with it when I return in the Winter Semester. For now, let's keep it snow-free! Please and thank you!!!
