Snow day! Well, not a real snow day where class is cancelled, but it was snowing yesterday. These are pics from my dorm window. It was very pretty in the morning, and by the time I left my room it had stopped. Everything was covered with a fresh coat of snow. And we're supposed to be getting a little more snow later, too.

Maine weekend! This weekend we went up to stay at a professor's house in Maine. There was 8 of us (me, Rachel, Doug, Amy, Kay, Kevin, Mike, and Carrie) who stayed at the house (on 14 acres) that was build in 1753. It was a funky old (and cold!) house. Below is a pic of the house, Mike and me on the property, and our festive dessert (which I unfortunately didn't eat because of the wheat). But we still had a great time, and even spend Saturday on the slopes! It was nice and there was plenty of snow.

Here are some new pictures taken today. Click on any of them to see them larger.
Of course, I had to get a shot of a squirrel in the snow. Actually, I took more than one but didn't feel that it was necessary to put them all up here. The second shot is of the amazing chocolates Chandler sent me for Valentine's Day! Thank you!










The last two shots are of the Hasty Pudding's Woman of the Year parade. This year's winner is Scarlett Johansson. She rode in a nice Bentley convertible and was escorted by the Pudding's actors in drag. It may seem a little silly, but its a big tradition. The Man of the Year is Ben Stiller and he will be here next week. He doesn't get a parade, so I don't think I'll get to see him. Too bad. But seeing Scarlett was pretty exciting!

Today was our first big snowfall! It was beautiful at first, but then it got wet and windy! It warmed up and everything started melting. There were giant puddles everywhere and my feet were soaked! They were so numb, that I had to put them on my heater to warm them up. Its supposed to keep snowing/snow showering through the night. Not a very nice Valentine's Day!

Today is Wednesday, so that means trivia night! This is our tradition. Here's a pic of our 6 person team, plus the trivia girl! Mike, Kevin, Rachel, Me, Annick, trivia host, and Doug.

Ski weekend in New Hampshire with Chandler and the family. Chandler and I spent two fun but tiring days on the slopes. The second pic is of the boys (Chandler, Uncle Paul, Dad, and Uncle Ernie) relaxing at our condo.
