Snow, what snow?


It's been a little awhile since my last post, and I am sure you have heard of the Blizzard of 2007. It has been the University's first snow day in 5 years, I am glad I survived! Last year, they almost had to close school due to flooding after it rained for weeks on end and they almost had to open up the Olentangy dam. But as my mother would say, "This is nothing like Saratoga, New York!" When we used to live in New York, the snow would get so high, our dog would walk over the fence. This year they had several feet of snow, nothing comparable to Ohio! The University did a great job executing the cleaning and shoveling of the snow and ice. They kept the dining halls on the residential side open and were well staffed. I was impressed, to say the least.
What else is new? Besides the snow? Not a whole lot. We're coming down to mid-terms and our first big papers. It doesn't help when one has a cold like I do. But I'll keep on truckin'. I am hoping to post some good pictures soon. Until then, this is a picture of my friends Maureen and Brittany on the way to our Sorority Crush party. They were smart and wore boots.

No love for Lovie Smith





Yeah for the Colts finally winning a Superbowl in my lifetime. I hope there will be many more to come! Over the past couple of weeks, I have been able to accomplish a lot of things. I went to a student gallery opening in Edgar, one of OWU's art buildings which is always fun. It is nice to see all the hard the work and dedication done by students, very talented ones at that. I also saw a great exhibit at the Wexner Center, one of the art museums in Columbus. The exhibits are free and they always have new and interesting events. For example, the band Girl Talk played at the museum on Saturday. If you ever get a chance to visit, the bookstore/gift shop makes it worth the trip. Downtown Columbus has a pretty good art scene. Gallery Hop happens every month where you can visit all the different galleries in downtown Columbus. The art club organizes a bus to go down, so anyone can go, for free!

The pictures are from the art exhibit at the Wexner Center and from dinner at Panera with some of friends.
