3.5th snow day

The National Guard have been called in to clear streets here in DC.

According to NOAA the weather conditions are "life threatening."

Has anyone ventured outside today?

Update: a walkway between two buildings partially collapsed.



P.S. Everyone should like my FB status...its important.

Week One

Classes are over for the week. Or, at least, mine are. Techinically, one of my classes doesn't get out for another hour but the professor let us out early because today he was just introducing the class. My classes seem fine so far, and I don't have too much work yet (knock on wood!), just some reading. German class is probably my favorite, which is good because it meets three days a week and my other classes meet once or twice.
It raining hard and I forgot my umbrella (and I usually have it!), so right now I'm in Bender Arena waiting to see if the rain will let up. Yay for wireless campuses.

First Impressions

So far, college feels like camp. Of course, classes haven't started yet, and I'm participating in a 4 day community service program. My group is working at a community center in southeast DC called THE ARC. Today we did some painting for them.
I moved in Sunday, and both my roommates are here as well. All of our stuff seems to fit into out room, which consists of a bunk bed, a loft bed, 3 desks, 3 bookshelves, 3 dressers (2 of them in the built in wall storage). We have a tiny micro fridge (microwave and fridge issued by the school) and a TV and DVD player which we haven't hooked up yet. I have the top bunk. Our room faces northwest, so I can watch the sunset through the window. The view is ok-- as long as you don't look directly down to the parking lot below.
Classes start next Monday.
