Days in the Life Of...: Snow-vasion!!!

Yeah - the snow invaded us last night...moderate blizzard that started in the afternoon at around 1:00, with almost 10 inches of snow by nightfall. For all those of you out there who have not seen snow in real life, here are some pictures of the "post-blizzard" scene around on the campus of UNB Fredericton.

Yesterday was yet another one of those extremely busy days. Morning: woke up around 8:30. 9:15, my friend Anu arrives, and coincidentally, I get a call from Fahd as well - who shows up at my door in his car. So he gives us a lift down to Head Hall. After eating some "breakfast" at the cafeteria there, and chatting online to some people in the lab, we head for our JAVA I class. Following that is my Discrete Structures (Logic and Mathematical Proofs) midterm exam...that went pretty well, and then I show up at the Library to teach my "Electricity and Magnetism" student at 1:30. Taught him for 2 hours, after which he took me to a KFC outlet uptown and treated me to supper (see? I'm not "nice for free"!!!). After he drops me back home, I have to head down to Bailey Hall and Tilley Hall to make announcements about the Student Union Elections coming up. Unfortunately, one of the classes had a midterm at the time, so I don't think they really paid any attention to my announcement!!!

Immediately after Tilley Hall, I headed up to the Student Union Building to do my Electricity and Magnetism assignment with Anu and Siddharth. Once we got through that, I had the shocking discovery that the restaurants downstairs had all closed, except for Tim Horton's (a coffee shop - Canada's Starbucks). So my dinner turned out to be an XLarge Mocha with a dozen double chocolate chip cookies (I shared them, don't worry!).

There was yet an adventure in store before I could retire to Bridges House. Being the absolute gentleman that I am (wipe of those skeptical looks!!!), I walked home Anu and Georgina (who was there with as at the Student Union Building as well btw). Georgina managed to fall in the snow on our way there, but luckily there was no serious injury. After dropping them off, I remembered that I had my camera with me, and that's when I took all the photos that follow after this post.

But the night had just started. I got a break for about an hour (from 9 to 10), to watch the OC on TV (this "post-adolescent" soap opera that stands for "Orange Country"...it's more like "Obsessive Compulsive" with the way these guys here are addicted to it!)...and then I had to help a bunch of guys with their MATLAB (a programming language) assignment. After two long and arduous hours of banging away at the keyboard, we managed to get a program that actually worked.

Do you think I went to bed after that? Well, you think wrong! I still had my statistics assignment to do, and that took me into the wee hours of the night until 2:30 a.m.!!

And guess when I got up this morning? 8:00a.m.!! Only to find out campus was closed due to snow!

Anyway...that's my "monotone" update of what's been happening...I realize that unfortunately when I narrate events instead of talk about ideas, I come off sounding extremely monotonous and boring...so I apologize if I managed to put anyone to sleep by this!

Take care everyone...have a nice day!
