Snowpacaplyse/Snowmageddon hits D.C.

Ahh, the snow is beginning to pile up... apparently we're in for the worst storm DC has seen in the last decade or so. Luckily, I was prepared this time - moved my car to Catholic's garage, and managed to endure the craziness that was Giant Grocery yesterday (seriously, people panicking because there wasn't enough water, and lines that extended down the food aisles).

So, I'm spending the day at home, curled up, catching up on some homework (or pretending to at least). My big adventure for the day was finally tackling the French Press I bought last semester, and was proud of the pot I brewed this morning.

The snow is supposed to stop late tonight, and I'm going to venture out at some point. Eric got me an Holga camera for my birthday, and I'm excited to (finally) start shooting some film again.

Looking out my bedroom window - at 9 this morning - with another 12 hours of snow predicted.

Am I crazy or what?

I've had a nice, relaxing time while at home the last few weeks. And, while one of my New Year's resolutions is to make the best out of (seemingly) negative situations, I do have to point out the craziness of my life's change of scenery. I have given up this:

Sunset last night in Venice

For this:

Snowstorm I witnessed at the end of December in DC

I am definitely not mentally prepared to head back into cold weather. Although, if anything my decision to head back to DC has made me more appreciative of my California roots - which I am sure to my parents' utter happiness, I plan to return to when I finish school.

My other big resolution is to really try to strike a better balance between school and life (since I had none of the latter last semester), so stay tuned, I am finally going to start having some DC adventures to blog about - through the snow and all! Off to go enjoy my last few days in California!
