So it’s currently nearing the end of October and…it’s SNOWING! You would’ve thought the world came to an end. A few of my friends and I had just gotten out of a panel discussion/spoken word event at our university when we walked through the doors to find snowflakes falling from the sky. One being from California, who has never seen snow before, and the other being from North Carolina, wanted to walk in the snow and enjoy the atmosphere. I on the other had, the avid New Jersey girl who grew up with this craziness, was determined for all of us to catch a cab so we wouldn’t freeze our bottoms off! Then we got splashed by a taxi! That pretty much sealed up the deal after our dramatic girly screams and then belch of laughter that pursued. We dashed to catch the first taxi possible and made our way back to our flats to turn up the heat as high as possible. In retrospect, the experience of my first London snow was quite memorable. However, it is much more peaceful to watch from inside my tower than outside with the dirty slush! hahaha
