Its beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!!
I have loved all the snow we have gotten lately. I don't like the cold weather but I love the snow. I just wish it would snow in the summer ha. It always so exciting though to look out your window in the morning and see the ground covered in white. Its too bad that our classes don't get canceled like they did sometimes when we were in high school. That's the only thing I don't like about college. Everyone usually walks everywhere so if the roads are slick it doesn't ever matter. Oh well, I'm hoping now that we will have a white Christmas this year!!
