Once again, I'm glad I'm inside. The snow falling is really pretty though. Winds are very very strong so much so that when I at the snow falling under the light of a streetlamp, the wind blows it so that it moves horizontally. I believe if I were out right this moment I would need so much strength to walk just to counter the winds.

Most people are flying out tomorow and the situation isn't good. People have decided to ditch flights and instead take the Amtrak (the train that runs through states). Everyone's flight tonight and tomorrow have been cancelled or delayed.

This happened last year, exactly around the same time too! I got so delayed last year, sitting in a plane for about 6hours waiting for it to be de-iced before it can take off. What an unpleasant experience. It caused me to miss my flight from London back to SG.

Hoping for no delays this time. :)

I am so freaking screwed for Econs. :(

Econ exams always make me reconsider my decision take choose Economics as my major. Mostly, it was just an alternative path chosen so I can transfer into the Business school. Managed to get that done, but was given the choice to do a double degree with Econ, that's why I kept Econ.

But maybe I should just drop it.

Did a total wipe-down of my room today - my area at least. :P
Felt the hygiene-freak / OCD mode set in and immediately started cleaning everything and vacuuming everything. I have a love-hate r/ship with my carpet. I don't know if I should like the fact that all floors in Shelton are carpeted - it definitely makes it warmer in winter, and since it's a dark colour, it hides the dirt that is on the floor. But that is the problem! Whenever hair falls or when dirt collects, we can't see. So most of the time I ignore it, even though I know it's there cos nothing much can be done anyway.

Ami usually laughs at me for wearing slippers around everywhere, but I can't help it! Am too used to walking barefoot at home so when everyone walks in their shoes here, I can't walk barefoot. haha

Anyway winter has finally come. Snow has started falling, temperatures have started dipping. Yesterday was -11 degrees. brrr.

Sun is so warm and bright from the inside, so it's unimaginable to think how cold it can be outside. The sun is so deceiving! The brighter it is, the colder outside! (less cloud cover, so no heat trapped) :(

Going home in 9 days. Wished it was earlier though. Everyone around me is flying home so much earlier. :( Jenny on the 15th, some people on the 19th,20th maybe even 17th. I want to go home.
