I am a cute ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since I\u2019m doing whatever I can to not go outside, and since I don\u2019t have class on Thursday, I thought I\u2019d tell you all about my interpretations of winter here.<\/p>\n

With the aforementioned cold, I find myself bundling up more than I ever did in Oregon. Even during cold snaps in Oregon, I just threw on my hoodie and pushed on (I call it Oregonian stubbornness- just like we never put raincoats on or use umbrellas when the weather would otherwise call for them, but here I\u2019ve got my sweater, my winter coat, my gloves, my had and my scarf (the latter two my grandmother knitted for me. Thanks \ud83d\ude42 ). Even then I\u2019m still a bit cold (partially because I only have jeans), but it\u2019s better than nothing.<\/p>\n

Currently, I\u2019ve been surviving on a steady diet of tea (English Breakfast Tea, mainly). I already mentioned my love of tea last blog post, so I won\u2019t mention it again (although, if I start shooting fire out of my hands I might have to work on my philosophical ramblings… and grow a beard). I would like some soup, but you have to make du with what you have in these kinds of situations.<\/p>\n

On a different note, squirrels are adorable when they run around in the snow. When it\u2019s deep enough, all you can see is their little heads when they look around. They\u2019re like little snow gophers. Sadly, they\u2019re not the most photogenic of rodents, so I was not able to get a picture of them doing this.<\/p>\n

Anyway, one of the advantages of being inside quite a lot is that I get a chance to talk to people. I do live in a fraternity (Kappa Sigma for anyone that\u2019s wondering), but it seems that sometimes I don\u2019t really get a chance to talk with my brothers. Being inside most of the time I feel that I get a better chance to do so, although they have their own classes so such interactions are usually fleeting.<\/p>\n

On the subject of interactions, there was a snowball fight last night. I would have gone, but Dork Club came up. Beat the DePauw orks, so that made me happy.
