it's snowing here. Allll over. We're gonna have 1-2 feet before it's all over. Everything's canceled....although it's a Sunday. i'm sure everything will be fine by tomorrow. We NEVER have snow days here. That's cool tho, whatever, i can't WAIT TO GET A BOWL OF SNOW FOR MYSELF!!!!!! I went to the Holiday drama party last night...it was fun I guess.

EXAMS START TOMORROW AND THEN I AM HOMEEEEEEEE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
