Snowchase

I love going to sleep with the fields still green and waking up the next morning only to find that EVERYTHING has been covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. I always feel so happy opening the door to my building and stepping out into sweet snow. It's like I got teleported somewhere pretty while asleep. Obviously we all know what actually happened but hey, it's nice to dream a little. Especially when you have to wake up at 5am to study for a stupid ochem2 test which the professor made out to sound so darn hard because when the first lesson of the day is only suppose to start at eightam, he "strongly suggests you come in at 715am to start the exam at 730am because you are going to need that much time." argg..

Now, the snow monsters (those big snow-shovellling trucks) only get to work at 700am and the salt man probably after him. So I leave the house at 7am, and the snow monsters just arrive and have only just began to shovel the snow. (mind you, snow this morning was calf high) To get to class at the football stadium (why I have ochem class at the football stadium, I will never know), I have to cross TWO parking lots. So the poor souls of Dr Finnen's ochem2 class found ourselves having a little game of chase with the snow monsters. We didn't know where they were going to shovel next so we just walked, occasionally having to scoot away real quickly from the on-coming snow monsters. It's not easy to run in snow.

So fun, right? But then I realise all that fun, made me forget every single formula I was so desparately trying to remember just two hours ago. bah.
