Winter quarter at it's finest

So another week down at THE Ohio State University. And a week is a long time during Winter quarter. Which is by far the worst quarter at Ohio State each year. The snow, lack of sun, short quarter and more work combination is lethal and I suggest if you could avoid it to definitely try to! If it was up to me I think I would rather go to school from March to December rather September to June. Well most of the time that is because I hate getting up in the winter (and I am somewhat of a morning person, comparatively speaking to those in college ha ha) I hate the winter now that I have grown up. I used to live for snow days in Ohio because with a light dusting of an inch or so Lima would go on total shutdown thinking that WHITE DEATH had arrived. But Columbus is a totally different story or just actually Ohio State is. This past week we had around 5 inches of snow and a windchill of -20 and we still had class on Thursday and Friday. Talk about Cruel and unusual punishment. I had to walk to Chem lab while it being -20. I had more clothes on than I ever thought possible and while I was walking my snot crystallized in my nose and up through my brain (and yes mom I wore my scarf over my face) It was just pure misery. But toward the end of the day yesterday I realized the situation was foolish to be mad at and I started looking around at people and realized we all look ridiculous in the clothes we were wearing and watching people slide down the street while walking to class is hysterical. So I popped on some good Jon McLaughlin on my Zune and watched the show.
Another great thing when its cold out you realize who your friends really are. They pick u up and take u to class across campus in their warm cars or Pick you up at night so you could hang out with them at their apartments. Good people of the night last night: Mallory, Jerod, Nate.
I got to visit all of these people last night for a little while because they were nice enough to pick me up on a Friday night to hang. (what can I say....People love me ha ha)
One last high point about winter at OSU. Our campus is beautiful when it is covered in snow and the sun is shining! Our campus is always beautiful but it was gorgeous yesterday with the sun shining off the snow. It always a good day to be a Buckeye when the sun is out in Columbus.

Here is the quote of the day. Sorry I didn't put one up last time.

Keep on keeping on!
go live your dream! =)
