There's Snow on My Eyelash!

It snowed!

Wednesday night, I was settling in to do Spanish homework when I got a phone call from a friend. I couldn't understand her excited rambling at the time, but about 5 minutes later, I realized what she had said: it was snowing.

Homework could wait, but this Floridian plus falling snow could not. I grabbed my camera, threw on some jeans and a coat over my pajamas, and ran outside in the precipitation.

I got the question "Have you never seen snow before?" more than five times, and the sad truth is that yes, I had seen snow before. But there's something completely spectacular about living in a place where it snows--at least when you have lived in Florida your entire life.

We played in the falling snow for a couple of hours; I think that half the school was in the quad doing the same thing. Keep in mind that it didn't start snowing until nearly midnight, so we were all planning on classes being cancelled the following day.

By the end of the evening, I had taken over 100 pictures. I wish I could share them all with you here, but I might make the bandwidth provider explode. Nonetheless, it was a lovely first snow in college experience, and I am anxiously waiting for the second.

I forgot to mention: we had classes the next morning. I was very tired!

Fondly,
