Snow just keeps coming! Now a possible flood?

This was definitely a great week to come back to school. After arriving last Sunday, a snow storm rolled in and added another 8 inches of snow to the ground. (That's not the good part) Unfortunately, because of all that snow the temperatures continue to stay really low. Fun fact: A year ago today...Grand Forks had a high temperature of 74 degrees, and no snow on the ground. Today, the high was about 16....it just shows how much the snow affects the temperature here.

We had our first snow day of the year this past Monday too! Because of heavy winds and lots of snow, they cancelled school. Usually when someone thinks of a snow day, it's a day to go out, play in the snow, and just have a blast! But because of how cold it is here, that day was spent sitting in our dorm room. However, every other day this week was beautiful weather. Still very cold, but clear skies and great to fly. Every day gets warmer and warmer and you can see the snow melting. I did hear that there will most likely be a flood this year though because of all the snow still on the ground. Being so late in the year, it will soon rapidly warm up and all the snow will melt very quickly, flooding the Red River. (the river that splits ND from MN) Grand Forks will not be affected as much but all the surrounding little towns might be in more trouble.

For the next two weeks, I will only have class Tuesday-Thursday, giving me 4 day weekends. Next week my one class is cancelled for Monday, and I never have classes Friday. The following week, we have the Monday off of school because of Easter. So hopefully these next couple weeks go by really fast!

I will be going home with a friend again for Easter just like I did for Thanksgiving, so I will have another great story to tell about the little towns of North Dakota in a few weeks. :)

I had a first experience of getting my foot ran over by a car as well this week. I have never had that happen to me before but it surprisingly didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. 

Other than that, just another fast week. I still have several more weeks until I hear a response about being a counselor at my church camp again, so I'm trying not to think about that too much. 

Let me know what else you want to hear about! Only a handful of weeks left and then I am done with my first year of college!
