About a month ago, I was sad that winter was no where to be found. I like--well, LOOOOOOOOOVE--winter/snow and its a little tricky to get snow when the temperature barely dips into the 30s. Now, having said that, I like winter, NOT ANARCTICA.
If you added up the degrees of the high temperatures from yesterday and today, I'm fairly sure we still wouldn't have hit 15. Factoring in windchill, we're about -100. Ack. That's cold. So cold, in fact, that all learning institutions not known as college are closed. No fair! There are like 5 kids that ride the bus, so it's not like the masses would be freezing at the bus stop for hours. Nope, they could just run out of their house at the last minute since there appears to be a bus stop every 10ft or so. Seriously, have you ever gotten stuck behind either the Pennsylvania Ave. or Weir Ave. elementary buses?!?! No wonder kids are fat. Anyways, those few kids would manage and then everyone else either gets curbside service from their parents or in the case of the hight school, drives themselves, so they just gotta walk into the building. Voila, you're inside, all is well. I, on the other hand, have to HIKE...HIKE, I say!... across campus and such. A very, very windy campus, I might add. I'm pretty sure my face was completely frozen and already cracked off by the time the door finished closing after I walked out of the dorm this morning. And I was bundled like an Eskimo.
In addition to the face cracking off and probably losing some fingers and toes to frostbite in the next few days, we've got an interesting little "situation" in our room. The window is COMPLETELY frozen over. And I mean frozen, not frosted. Frost can be scraped off, perhaps even peered through a bit. This is ice. Thick ice, perhaps about half an inch in some parts. I sleep against the window, btw. So my bed is like being in the freezer and when it melts, I'm gonna wake up in freaking Niagara Falls.
Not to let the cold get us completely down, of course, Jamie and I just got back from a random ENP run. She worked all day and was starving, while I didn't have the greatest dinner. So we were like eh, let's go to ENP... Mmmm, senior portion of chicken fingers.

Well, the excuse is that the kids are retards and don't know how to dress themselves. And it's not like the parents are going to be dressing the older ones (My dad would laugh at me if I was cold)... So inevitably, you'll have those two or three idiots standing out at the bus stop in shorts, believing that everyone will be impressed by how hardcore they are and how big their balls are, when in reality, we'll just think they're stupid. That's why they cancel school.
