Snow Day and A Weekend in Philadelphia

To be fair, it's not really a snow day. I had the day off anyway because it's MLK Day. But it is in fact really snowing for the first time since I've been here. If only I were someone who got excited about snow, this would be great. It's not very thick on the ground yet, but it's still coming down pretty steadily. I do hope it lets up by tomorrow because I would very much not like to have to stay in the house again. Besides, things are getting busy at work and there's a lot I need to do this week.



I went to Philadelphia this weekend. I drove up on Friday evening after work and drove back Sunday afternoon. Mostly I went to see my friend Justin, but particularly this weekend because my last weekend here was boring enough to make me realize I never wanted to do that again. I had a great time hanging out with Justin and his friends at Villanova University. No pictures from the weekend, but it was a much-needed dose of non-stop socializing. Then I spent the entirety of my two and a half hour drive back to Maryland on the phone with various friends from home, which was wonderful in the best way.

I need a real winter coat, a scarf, and a haircut. These things were on today's to do list, but my desire to venture out into the snow is minimal. I will most likely do so later this evening however, as tonight I am going to Paul's house for dinner and 24. Paul is my boss, if you haven't been keeping tabs.

That's all for now. I have high and unlikely-to-be-met ambitions to read for the rest of the day.
