Snow day AGAIN!!!!!
Yippe...I woke up on Tuesday morning to discover there wasn't any school!! We had 3-5 inches of snowfall and sleet and freezing rain was due later that day. The snowploughers kinda gave up ploughing the snow since it just kept coming downso we had to wade in snow to get to the cafeteria:) I spent the day catching up on homework and completing more assignments that my teachers put up online for us to do:( due to the snow day. Seriously...sometimes I think that when certain teachers set up homework, they do so anticipating a school cancellation cause I would not have been able to finish all that work if I had class that day.
Today is Single's awareness day...with hearts all over the place and people selling candy...yeek!
I myself was selling hershey's kisses( oh the irony) at the kissing booth my club set up to raise $$ for Relay for life(Cancer Foundation and Awareness). Actually when we were discussing ideas to raise money and they said kissing booth, I was like 'no way am I volunteering for that!'. But it ended up being selling hersheys kisses....so...
We had a gameshow at our cafetria tonight. It was Valentine's Day Family Feud. basically, people answer questions about things a guy and girl would do, for example, on their first date,etc. The RAs surveyed us the previous day so I kinda knew the questions already. It was interesting (and FUNNY!!) to see how different the guys' mind worked from the girls'.
I would have liked to update earlier but sadly my computer gave me some problems. The power cable decided that it did not want to work any more so I have no power on my laptop...I am currently sitting in the Computer lab and typing this out...:( hope I'll get a new one during the weekend cause doing homework (typing papers) is such a drag this way.

ice and sledding!!
Ok...so here are the ice storm and sledding pics...don't the trees look like crystal!!!sweeeet!!!
there are also some taken yest when we had really snowy and windy conditions so much so that we had a lot of whit-outs. Thats when all you see is white...its dangerous if you're driving cause you can't see a thing! alot of accidents happened that day...my roommate was telling about a 25 car pile-up on a road she was taking when she drove home from her boyfriend's Uni. The snow was blowing everywhere...sometimes we had at up to 50mph(80km/h)! In one pic, Sol and I were standing in front of Imhsen Hall and you can barely make out the building behind us....and its not even that far away!
I'm also putting up pics taken when I visited Manhattan earlier last month before coming back to school...kinda forgot about those:)
here is a video of me sledding...I don't know whether it will work. If it doesn't please let me know...uploading the video on to the blog was just taking too long.

Ice storm....
Sorry for the lack of posts...
last week on fri we had a snow day...meaning no school:D yeah!! this was because we had a really bad ice storm. We had freezing rain overnight and it froze over EVERYTHING. and i mean everything. It looked like everything was crystal! so basically it was really dangerous to drive on the roads so the communters and teachers wouldn't be able to make it to the uni. My friends and I took this opportunity to go sledding down one of the slopes here. It was AWESOME!!! only that it was painful at times cause we were going over ice not snow....
To keep us busy on Fri, the RAs(students in charge of the students on each floor of the dorm) organized a card making/decoration making for Valentine's Day while watching sappy movies to get the mood going.
The rest of the week was BAD.I had so much work and exams going on that I was barely getting enough sleep so I was tired all the time.
This weekend Caitlin's friends Fran and Kelly came over from Philadelphia and we had fun together (we even played Disney Trival pursuit)! I also got to watch 2 basketball games which went ok(but we didnt win:( ) On Sat we went out for dinner at UNO's for a change. Its a Pizza and pasta kinda place and its not bad:)
I can't get the picss up for some reason so i'll put it up later...
till then...Love to all! Nikita at 10:11 PM
