I live for computers. I love computers. My life consists of: the little screened notebook, food, and Thursday nights (that's when The Office comes on).
Yesterday, my roommate ran into our hall lobby and started to tell me about the strange sounds my computer was making in our room and the smoke that was coming out of it. I almost started to cry - and then, as I darted for my room, she ended her panic with "just kidding." Sam, if you're reading this, don't think I'm not going to get back at you.
So today, I am in front of my beloved blue rectangle blogging at the student union with my headphones in listening to MSTRKRFT. I'm looking outside, and if I walked out there I imagine I would only be able to see five feet in front of me. I can only compare this wind and snow to the great blizzard. And you know what, it figures that my first year in college would mark the resurgence of horrible winter weather. I think someone up there is just trying to make up for the many years I missed out on snow in my life. Okay, thank you Mr. Cloudy Sky, but seriously, I think I've had like a good three years worth of snow withing a couple of months.
It's funny because the first night it was supposed to snow after we got back from Christmas break, I told everyone on my hall that we should do a rain dance so that we wouldn't have classes the next day - so we looked up rain dances on YouTube, and none of us had the guts to do the dance or say whatever it is the dancer was saying, so we just danced to some rap music instead. I guess it worked because the next day, school was canceled, and we didn't go into class until 11:00 the next day. The next week they called for a blizzard - and now the sky looks like chaos. I regret any rain dances that we unintentionally performed, and I would like to apologize to the general public.
At this point in my blog, I would like to mention two things. First, this year has broken many winter records for the town of Boone, and this weather only occurs in 50ish year cycles, unless some drastic global warming crisis takes place in the next couple years. Second, I get all my Boone weather from Ray's Weather. He's a computer science professor here, and we blame him for all the bad weather we get (not really). All of his stuff is so accurate, it makes you wonder if he's causing it... Suspicion...
