Winter Wonderland

So it has been snowing here for the past couple days. Haven't gone out but my roommate is telling me how cold it is! It's -12 C outside but with wind chill it's supposed to feel like -22C! In Toronto, the weather never really got that cold. I think the coldest on average is around -18C. And back home I had a ride to school( because I lived WAY too far) so I never really endured the never ending pain of snowing blowing in my face as I walk against the wind! I heard that Waterloo gets a lot more snow and man they are right! there's also supposed to be a snow storm warning or whatever but it looks gorgeous!




I love the way snow looks when it sits on the branches of the trees. Enjoy it while is lasts! after a couple days the wind usually blows it away or sun melts it off!
Going home on Thursday morning! hurrah! but back again Saturday night for a 9 am exam on Sunday. =( University is sucking Christmas away from me!!!

Hope you're all well and enjoying the seasonal weather! =)

P.S. I watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas to put me in the Christmas mood! It first came out in 1966 but this will always be the best one! A classic! There's something about the narration, the drawing/cartoons and the classic rhymes that makes it so much more homey and relatable =) here's the link! Enjoy!

University Life

So this is my first year at university. It's been such a big change when you live on your own. I live in an apartment style dorm so I didn't buy a meal plan. That means cooking my own food and buying my own groceries. Ugh I am currently out of food and the grocery store is a bus ride away. The problem? It's cold and I don't want to go by myself. Roommates are all hard at work and studying and I just can't seen to stop eating cookies. I only have 3 left and am trying to ration them out so they last me longer. haha Pathetic.. i know.

It's exam time so everyone's been working so hard studying except me! Honestly if you think you're slack, here's something to make you feel better. I am a business major and I need my business mark to get into second year. You know when I started studying? the night before! Honestly I don't think I did too horrible which is probably means I failed but HOPEFULLY my memorization skills will help me through this! Two exams in a row next week. Yup, haven't started.

Good luck to everyone out there! =)
