Winter Weather Advisory.

So right now it is about 8º F with a windchill in the -20s and it looks like this outside:

Pretty much every other school in the greater Nebraska area is canceled except us. At least I got to sleep in because my practicum school had a snow day because of awful conditions. Did I mention that under all the snow is a layer of black ice? I have lived in Nebraska for close to 20 years now and I'm definitely used to the weather, but I wouldn't want to be driving in this crap.

More snow is expected as a Massive storm begins trek across Midwest. We'll see if it hits Nebraska and if Harvey gives us a day off tomorrow. Probably not, since we had snow days the first two days of the semester.

I'm still wearing shorts and I haven't left the building yet. My first class is at 2. I'm not excited.

Tips for Surviving Nebraska winters:

• Layer up! I'm probably going to be wearing my Under Armor tights under my pants when I leave.
• Invest in boots. And I mean good, waterproof snow boots, not Uggs or anything with heels. (I do have Uggs and I love them, just not today).
• Stock up on travel mugs, hot chocolate, and coffee. Nothing makes the walk to class better than being able to drink something warm when you get there.
• Keep an ice scraper in your car AT ALL TIMES.
• If you have to drive, leave waaay early. Even if the roads don't suck, people freak out and drive slow when there's snow on the ground.
• Don't think that winter is over when it warms up. It was like 45º on Friday. Nebraska weather is a bit bipolar.
• Don't forget gloves, scarf, hat, etc. My friend works downtown and he walks there and he was trying to find a ski mask. Creepy, yes, but warm.

I'm off to brave the arctic weather and head to class. Wish me luck.

Assumptions.

Assumption: College doesn't have snow days.

FALSE!!!

Of course, they call off classes at noon. My only class today gets over at 11:50.

Sooo not complaining though =)

Plan for the day: Write a paper, play in the snow, drink hot chocolate, play Apples to Apples, and watch movies.

It's going to be a good day.

I'm so excited!

Back to school...sort of.

Today was our first day back after fall break. It was kind of disappointing. It even rained all day, which I think that means we shouldn't have come back to school.

Fall break was amazing. It was kind of crazy since practically everyone went home, so it was pretty empty here. I think there were like 3 girls on my floor that stayed. I wasn't here very much though, so it wasn't bad.

I also had a bio test today, and I answered 20 of the 50 questions with "e, all of these." So hopefully our teacher just really likes having questions with that as an answer, cuz that kind of made me nervous.

Oh, and apparently our dorm is haunted, so they're doing ghost tours tonight. Can't wait!

Tip of the Day: Don't listen to the weather report. Open the window instead. I checked online this morning and it said it was 61 degrees out. It definitely wasn't.

It's cold!

Now that it's fall, Nebraska has decided to be freezing. Lame.

I love winter, don't get me wrong. Just not in October. And not without snow.

And it really sucks since being in college means you have to walk across campus for every class.

Time to break out the scarves and hats and Ugg boots! I'm so glad I'm a girl.

Tip of the Day: Dress warmly. And wear layers, cuz it's always hot inside of buildings, and freaking freezing outside.
