It's snowing.

Well, alternating between raining, snowing, and slushing, but still.

I hate snow. Why couldn't it have stayed rain?

Buggerit.

Snow? o_O?
The concept of snow is foreign in OCTOBER. Odd. Here it's been rainy, but not cold enough for snow/sleet. Ick.

Wow, I've been complaining about the cold up here, but we haven't seen snow yet. Mind you, it was cold enough to snow this morning when I left for work. You have my complete and total sympathy, as I'm not looking forward to another cold, snowy, damp, yuck Ottawa winter. :)

I'm guessing that the concept of snow is foreign in June, July, and August, yes?

Not here.

It does not happen very often, but I have seen snow during June. And July. And August. October is nothing. Except depressing cuz I hate snow.

Heehee. I'll trade. They just turned the heat on in our dorm. Our window is wide open because the rest of the building is a sauna.

*shivers* The ironic thing is that Nevada is a desert. We've had more rain in the past four days than the past four years, I think, and even then, while it's been coming down continuously, it's not enough to create big puddles or make driving during it a hassle or anything. It's just cold and turns to snow and back every once in a while now.

Yes. Snow. *shivers*

And Nevada's supposed to be a desert...

Though actually, the July snow was just over the border...in California.

XD

But yes, Nevada and Nevada weather is weird. One of the reasons I'm so enthusiastic about getting out of here...

We're actually lucky enough to have had a really warm September, which makes the cold now seem so bad. It's really only been the usual average temperatures, somewhere between 5 and 10 Celsius. Is funny, though, to be rejoicing in days when the temps hit double digits. Tomorrow! It will be about 11 tomorrow! ;-)

College Entrance Essay
This is actually an essay written by a college applicant when applying to colleges/universities. The author of this essay now attends NYU.
______________________

IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

I've actually seen that essay before--my school college and career center has a copy of it. :)
