Snowday!

Bill Engval (skit about a weatherman in Texas): "Ladies and gentleman...an inch of snow is headed to your area. An inch of snow, enough snow to make, a footprint! Is headed to your area. If you are an elderly American, you will not make it through this storm. We urge you to steal food, horde gas...You guys (talking about a region in the Midwest somewhere) an inch of snow you're like, hold on I can still find my golfball"

London would be equivalent to the Texans attitude of snow. They have no idea how to handle it here. The United Kingdom economy lost 1.2 billion pounds due to the weather; 20% of the workforce didn't show up. Last night we got 6 inches of snow and the city was an absolute shit show, the busses were shut down, most of the tube lines were closed, and school was cancelled! So naturally we built a snowman. Isn't he precious!?

Tomorrow I actually have to write a paper (due Wednesday) about our homestay weekend, which everyone in our program has been putting off until the absolute last minute. Another activity I'm not looking forward to is freezing my ass off at work for 8 hours. I'm kind of getting the hang of it now: leggings under my jeans, two pairs of socks, and a heavy sweater kind of deal. Oh well, I suppose I have to do something productive with my life while I am here. Time for bed!

Love Love!
