Winter Weather

I was chastised today for not having an updated blog.

This week is the last week of classes before finals start next Monday. It will be busy and stressful but the end is in sight and Christmas is fast approaching. On top of the fact that it is almost finals week but it has started to snow as well. I thought that we were going to make it until break before the snow started. The weather has actually been pretty nice until Sunday morning when I woke up to a blanket of white. Usually I wouldn't mind the snow, but with living in a house that means its cold and the gas bill goes up plus we have a seemingly HUGE driveway to shovel. It stopped snowing this evening and I am glad that I did not have to go out for round 4 on the driveway.

On my way home from class this afternoon this green SUV tried to merge into the right lane on 9th East when he spun out cutting across the lane of traffic and almost getting t-boned by another car, then swerved off the road onto the side walk all the while spinning around nearly missing a fire hydrant, a stop sign, and stopping just inches from a large metal pole. They were extremely lucky not to be injured and not to have injured anyone else. As they began to lose control of the car I thought to myself that it wasn't going to end well and that I was going to have to run to the car and help in some sort of medical way...all while in a dress and tights and uggs. I was grateful that I could just drive away and I am grateful that it wasn't me who was out of control. I did however text Katherine and tell her that she was absolutely not allowed to drive anywhere today. Oh the joys of living in Utah.
