BLIZZARD

Timeline of Snowpocalypse:

8:30 a.m. Started this morning off optimistic despite the impending doom of a blizzard heading to Chicago. Went to class wearing my new Steve Madden rainboots, leggings, a t-shirt, and blazer.

9:00 a.m. The weather forecast is calling for crazy windchill, so on go the gloves and up goes the hood.

9:35 a.m. Finally at school but the cute little braid I put in my hair has been mangled by having to use the hood. Quick fix-up in the bathroom before class.

11:15 a.m. Campus is closing and now waiting desperately until 11:40 for class to finish.

11:16 a.m. Attention span is done-zo. Checking fashion blogs.

11:18 a.m. Internet quit. Damn you DePaul wireless.

11:20 a.m. Clicking re-connect on gchat like a madwoman. Whispering around the room indicates everyone is now aware of the snow day.

11:40 a.m. Going out in this cold can wait, lunch is calling my name. Mmmm peanut butter and nutella.

12:15 p.m. Time to brave the cold. Hood goes back up. Gloves go back on.

1:00 p.m. Wind keeps knocking my hood down walking from the train to the apt. Cold ears.

1:15 p.m. Now wearing Purdue sweats with the elastic ankle, wool socks, and softball hoodie from when I was a junior in high school.

1:16 p.m. Snowpocalypse: 1. Me: 0.
