One month til departure!

And now the one month count down begins! The school year has officially started. I got back to Furman on Saturday afternoon, luckily before the bad weather started. Late Sunday night it was announced that Monday's class would be cancelled due to the predicted snow. What a way to start the semester! Around midnight the snow started falling and much to my midwestern surprise (we all know that in the south, predicting snow is usually a ploy to get everyone to run to wal-mart and buy all the bread and milk off the shelves..... and then usually there is only a light dusting of snow that melts very quickly) we had 6-7 inches of snow when I woke up Monday morning. It was really pretty and it's easier to get excited about snow here than it is at home simply because a) I know it will be gone soon b) the sky doesn't stay gray and c) there are so many kids who have never seen snow before that are so giddy about it.
Here are a few pictures from the snow day....




aaaaand best of all, class was also cancelled for tomorrow....yet again, I can sleep in and avoid class first thing in the morning. Always a good thing by me!
