This morning, having fallen asleep around 3AM, I snoozed the alarm clock until the last possible minute to wake up and still manage to do everything I need to do in the morning and get to class on time. Little did I know that behind my blackout curtain lurked 8-9" of terrible snow, completely covering my boyfriend's little Toyota Camry. This snow ninja had managed to come almost all at once within a 3 hour period. Nobody was prepared and nothing was salted, sanded, or plowed. Nothing was even thinking of being salted, sanded, or plowed for another few hours, when everyone got the memo that OMGITFUCKINGSNOWEDASHITTON.
Back to the original plot. I volunteered to go shovel out and brush off the car, because my boyfriend needed a shower. I bundled up in all of my warmest gear, which somehow I managed to get together early this year. I headed outside with a shovel I found in the basement, and spent a good 20 minutes managing to throw at least 4 shovel-fulls of snow back onto myself because I am snow-shovel impaired and somehow don't know how to do it right.
Meanwhile the snow ninja was raining down in all it's fury almost as fast as I could brush it off the car. As soon as I got back in the house I felt like I was never going to be dry or warm again and like I'd run a marathon. Tricky snow ninja, knowing I'm all out of shape and coming so close after Thanksgiving. Little does it know that there was an electric snow shovel lurking in the basement with the regular shovel, and the only delay in that cavalry is the lack of a nice outdoor extension chord. Your day will come snow ninja.
And since I'm too lazy to draw anything right now here's what part of my campus looked like around 9AM.
PS this is a main road on campus.
