WEATHER

Hmmmm, the winter weather seems to have arrived earlier than expected--which is even more funny than if it had arrived tomorrow, because as it is, the temperatures went from 68 degrees to 30 degrees in less than 24 hours! In fact, this morning the temperature seemed to drop about 20 degrees within about five minutes--it was really weird. It is super nasty, rainy, slushy, gray, cold, windy, and gross out there right now, but that is only the beginning. We now have a "Winter Storm Warning" and are supposed to get a half-inch of freezing rain tonight, followed by four inches of snow tomorrow. I just can't wrap my mind around going from 68 degrees to this so quickly! I guess it's good though, because now the children who were here for interviews today got to see what the weather is really like during the winter here. Yesterday was not an accurate representation.

I spent all day today giving tours of the campus and shuttling children from the graduate lab over to their interviews with the professors at the library. It was quite a hectic day, and the tours weren't very fun because it was so gross outside. My shoes are totally soaked, and my jeans are soaked clear up to just below my knee! The children still enjoyed the ghost stories though. And, they were giving away free Krispy Kreme doughnuts over at the student union today--in celebration of Krispy Kreme's 50th anniversary, so that made the children happy. Are they giving away doughnuts at all Krispy Kreme locations today? I had to give tours with Alisha, and I was about ready to pop her on the head--she totally drives me crazy :-) Well, I'm going to go read to Dr. Hardeman.
