Fear and Loathing on the Learning Curve: Observations on Life, Tech and Web Design from a Slightly Misanthropic Mind

Excuses, Excuses (2)

So I ended up going in of course; the appeal of speed­ing through snow was just too much. Campus looked like some sort of Arctic apo­ca­lypse, with groups of run­ning, scream­ing stu­dents heav­ing snow at each other and dozens of snow­men dwarf­ing the fig­ures dash­ing around them.

My guilt-fed attend­ance of lec­tures proved unne­ces­sary, as I went to the first one then found the second was can­celled, so came home via Stoneleigh, where I stopped to take some pho­tos. Once home I per­suaded Andy to come out for a snow­ball fight which proved to be excel­lent exer­cise, then carved a snow­man out­side the front door until I had stopped exud­ing steam and got cold.

From what I can see, the snow has now stopped, but tomor­row is set to be another stay-in-bed pos­sib­il­ity, as the snow that man­aged to melt today will re-freeze as ice under­neath new snow, mak­ing driv­ing that bit more of a challenge.
