First real snow of the season! And boy, is it ever coming down.

I mentioned that the cold winds had come, bringing with them winter, but it's still a shock to look outside my 4th-story window and see the flakes coming down thick and fast. The semester has blown by -- I can scarcely believe it's already December. It's like November didn't even happen. My first exam is in 11 days.

And in extracurricular news, I went out last night with Neener to a party full of Europeans, including a heavy Finnish Nokia contingent, a very nice high school Italian exchange student, and a Bulgarian real estate agent whom I wound up making out with in a parking lot at 2 a.m.

Happy winter!
