Winter Wonderland in Eugene

It's currently two days before Thanksgiving and there's snow on the ground in Eugene! The snow flurries started last night, and from my dorm room I could hear people excitedly screaming "Snow!!!" and frolicking around on the ice covered grass outside. There's still ice on the ground right now, and because of this, it's proven impossible for me to get to my one and only class this afternoon. Crutches + ice = hazardous situation! Although the university didn't close, I've declared today my own personal snow day, and I'm probably not alone in this choice.

I've decided to make the best of my afternoon and take care of lots of mundane tasks I've neglected this week such as cleaning and doing laundry. Finals are just around the corner and I want to come back from Thanksgiving Break feeling rejuvenated, focused, and ready to hit the books. I've never seen it snow in the year and a half that I've been here, so this has been quite the treat to see. I'm off to Portland tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with my friend Kelsey and her family. We'll see what adventures unfold...
