Snow, school and DC

The past few weeks have been really really snowy. It's beautifully white and bitterly cold, many layers are being required!! Having said that it's still possible to get around and have fun. Also, we had a snow day on Tuesday, which made me happy because I could catch up with work and hang out with my friends/get to know my new roommate. So here are a few photos of the snow:

It isn't foggy, it's just snowing so much you can't see very far (below)

So yes, it's beautiful and majestic and cold. The coldest place though was when I went on a trip to Washington DC. The monuments were a lot closer to each other than I thought and the White House was a lot smaller than I expected (but films can be deceiving...). So here are some photos from some of that, but I couldn't take many because it was so cold that taking my hands out of my gloves and pockets for more than 5 seconds hurt, a lot!!!!

Then everything else...

Well, classes are going well, it's a lot of work because I'm taking the maximum 18 credits but that's ok, it's still fun. I really like my first aid course because it's interesting and it's neat that I get a qualification at the end of it. Philosophy is messing with my mind, as philosophy does, but it's interesting at least.

I have a new roommate, and she's lovely, she's relaxed and doesn't mind my terrible sense of humour and childness so that's good! And I bought a fridge and a microwave, finally... So I can make stuff for myself again, happy days. My radio show on WJCU is going well, slowly getting more confident, and thank you to everyone who encourages me and listens in. If you want to I'm on Mondays 1-3:30pm EST.

Will check back in soon, I'm sure something else fun will be happening within the next few weeks!

Here we go again...

I have just started my spring semester, I got back about four days before the start of the semester to get over my jet lag, glad I did that!!!!! I loved being home though, was nice to see everyone, especially my little brother.

This semester I'm taking the next level of biology, Spanish and English, as well as education, first aid and philosophy. And all my teachers are very nice, my philosophy teacher in particular is really funny and, despite not being massively into philosophy, I think I'm going to love this class!!

On top of that, yesterday I had my first ever solo radio show, I'm on WJCU every Monday 1-3:30pm this semester. I was terrified but it was so much fun and I loved doing it once I got into it, which was nice.

My room is feeling very empty, which is sad, and I very much miss my roommate but it is nice having the extra space in the room now. And I just have tried to decorate the room even more and I hope that will help stop it feeling so empty.

Anyway, there are so many fun things to do this semester and it's going to be great, and I will endeavor to do my best to keep you up to date with it all. Spring break is going to be interesting too!
