Snow! and stuff

[ria_oaks]

Woke up today to 30-40cm of snow on the ground. Finally, real snow! Exciting, albeit also very cold and somewhat inconvenient (the paths to school weren't plowed when I walked over to campus at 10am...). We rarely get snow like this in Vancouver, so I was all excited and happy. XD School was still open this morning, but is closed now (so don't have to go to my evening seminar, yay). Just got back from delivering Valentine's Day cards over to the hospital next door with some others from my Rez, which was nice - the hospital's mainly for older people who live there and need care, so it was nice to do something like this for them. Then on the way back, proceeded to jump into a bunch of snow drifts. XD Some of the drifts are fairly high, upwards to 4-5 feet at least. It was fun. Pictures under cut. :)













So, now I'm inside and warm, planning to stay inside for the rest of the day if possible. Have a bibliography/proposal due tomorrow and a presentation Friday, both of which I need to work on (blah), though I've heard there might be more snow tonight (and it's still snowing right now) so who knows? Maybe I'll be lucky and class'll be cancelled tomorrow. *crosses fingers* Getting worried about the presentation, though, since my partner hasn't emailed me back and I've sent her 2 emails over the past few days... if she doesn't contact me soon, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. We're supposed to meet up tomorrow... sigh.

Saturday I head to Toronto, staying overnight at Mom's friend's place and she's taking me to the airport Sunday morning. Then, Reading Week with the family which will be nice. Looking forward to hanging out with my cousins. :) Also, doing nothing. Except watching Supernatural and playing FFXII if I bring my PS2 (and who am I kidding?). Up to ep14 of SPN, and really enjoying it. Loving the interactions between Sam and Dean and watching their characters develop. And I keep hearing really good things about s2, so I'm looking forward to that. As for FFXII, I haven't done much recently. Been level raising in Ozome Plain, which has proved to be a pretty decent spot for levelling. Went through the Golmore (or whatever) Jungle and the Eruyt Village, now back at Ozome and planning to move ahead next time I play. Gained about 6 levels in my levelling spree, and managing to keep all my characters; levels up.

Oh yeah, and I have those picture of Chris!Doll and Toby!Doll (some more x-rated than others, haha) which I will post soon. I love them both. :) Was hugging Chris!Doll (who also doubles as Meloni!Doll and Elliot!Doll depending on circumstances) all through last night's SVU. Though am thinking wtf about the ending. o.o

Oh, other kinda exciting news - I'm now a RAC (Residence Action Council) member for my block, along with shoebox_of_lies! Our 2 original RAC members didn't do anything, so they resigned and we were appointed. Yay. We don't really have to do much; just go to an additional meeting each Monday night and go to all the events (and we go to most of them, anyway...). There's a semi-formal tomorrow night which we have to go do, which should be fun. Though I don't want to trek through this snow in my shoes; hopefully they'll have a place to put boots in the coat check area so I can wear those. o.o

Also, I'm still sick. It sucks. ;_; And boored of studying; can't wait until Reading Week. Maybe I'll do a few minutes of work right now, before Farscape at 3... haha, yeah right. -_- Been enjoying re-watching s4 of FS, which I've only seen the one time last year when I first watched. WSS trilogy pt3 is tonight, though I have class tomorrow at 3 so I'll miss Bad Timing. Might just watch my copy of it, anyway, just to round out the series.

Hi Julia. Glad you have the snow (we only got rain!) But I must warn you you will not be watching eps all week because I am going to be your devoted, full time TOUR GUIDE of our delightful region. Excitement awaits.

Haha, I look forward to it. XD But I also plan to relax and veg a fair amount... and have a chance to get further ahead in FFXII, since I don't get enough time to play it (well, I do anyway, but not too much). Hope your parents won't mind me hooking my PS2 up to their TV? XD I won't do it much, but I'd like to bring it so I can play a bit. Anyway, you're supposed to be job searching, aren't you? XD I'm also theoretically planning to do some 'studying', at least catch up on readings and maybe do some essay thinking. Bleh. *sigh* And I'm about to start re-watching seasons 1 and 5 of Queer as Folk for my queer representations on TV essay. o.o though doesn't look like I'll be able to watch it over RW; still waiting for disc 1 to arrive.

Speaking of weather, my mother called me the other day to tell me that the crocuses are up. Damn her. ;_; I've never been on the receiving end of one of those calls; usually I'm the one listening to her tell your dad while I laugh. XD Yeesh, -10 and snowy here, and there are flowers up in Vancouver. -_-

Snow is awesome. We have rain; it's like snow, but in another state. >.>

I wonder how dirty Ontario snow is. I heard they have smog problems and stuff. So do we, for that matter. -_-

Heh, snow is cool. Though it's irritating when I need to get to class and the paths aren't plowed... and it sucks when it's still snowing and it's ridiculously windy and cold. o.o But it's fun to jump in. XD

It seems okay when it first falls, but it gets dirty pretty quickly. Then it's all ugly and black with car exhaust and footprints and stuff.
