SNOW

In case you haven't looked out your window since Thursday, we got over 34 inches of snow dumped on us by the blizzard Nemo.  Nemo did not live up to its namesake, as I found it very easy to find Nemo, unlike the fish version depicted in the Disney hit, "Finding Nemo."  If there is one thing 34 to 40 inches of snow can do, its close down schools and put a hault on outdoor activities.  Nemo has proven to be skillful at doing both those things as our campus has been shut down for four days and I haven't had a baseball practice in the same amount of time. 

Nemo is not all bad though as it gives us college students something we never seem to encounter, extra time!  Extra time to do your homework, catch some much needed Z's, to hang with friends, or anything else you may need to accomplish.  I have made the most of this time over the past four days, as I accomplished all my homework for the next two weeks, studied for my upcoming GRE test, watched some sports and movies, caught up on sleep, and most importantly, sledded for hours all over campus. 

My car is covered in feet of snow, and seems like it will still be stuck for a few more days as snow cleanup has proven to be close to impossible, due to the massive amounts of accumulation.  We can only hope that this day of rain will melt away enough snow for our lives to be returned to some normalcy, because all of us students here at Albertus are beginning to get a slight case of Cabin Fever.
