it's snowing!!!

i can't believe it! It's only end of November and it's already snowing! What a change from last year. I was completely unprepared for the weather that it took me to a surprise. I was busy all morning trying to pellet my tiny E. coli so that I can store them in the freezer over the holiday and have everything prepared when I go back on Monday. It wasn't until past 1pm that I finally got to sit down and start filling up my lab report that I look out the window and guess what??? It's snowing! It must have snowed for quite sometime already because the grass and roofs were already covered with a thin layer of snow. Can you imagine that? My entire lab has a huge window that look out over the west side of the campus and I did not realize what's going on outside until half the day is gone. But anyway, I'm still excited that it's snowing. It is soooooo beautiful outside that I can just stand there looking at the snow flakes fall - a moment of nature's gift that will always capture my heart away.

The campus had also gotten really quiet after lunch. The BPS (biomedical and physical sciences) building was almost deserted this morning it felt like I was in the wrong building. Even in the lab, everyone started leaving at about 3pm. Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing here. The snow made it kinda hard for some people who have to drive hours to reach home..hopefully Hannah made it just in time..but I still think that it's wonderful to be snowing! It'll probably be 3 inches by tonight I think.

I have drained myself so much this past 3 days that I'm ready to just relax and not worry about any datelines or lagging behind in lectures, which I still am but library is closed already (yeap! that's the best excuse I can give myself). So I ordered chinese food! It's 'char siew fan'. Haven't tried it before but hopefully it'll be close to what we can get back home. Then I get to watch "A Walk To Remember". I've been wanting to watch it ever since I bought the book..it's a really touching story.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
