Just an inch or so....but still exciting!

Snow!!

I woke up this morning to a wonderfully white world! It has been snowing all night and day, and it is absolutely beautiful. I'm loving it! This is an unusually consistent snow, with some areas of the country completely shut down (Heathrow is closed and parts of London had to stop their bus routes this morning). Even the British students are excited. It's hard to focus on schoolwork!

I'll try to post some pictures later, but my camera battery is dead right now. More to come....(unless I get very into work, which would be ideal :) ).

Sun?!

It's true! There was genuine sunshine for a couple of hours this afternoon! It was glorious. Still freezing (it flurried this evening on my way to church), but bright and uplifting. What a blessing!

And our African Studies potluck on Friday was incredible! I really enjoy my classmates - so passionate, bright, and fun. The food was a great representation of our diversity: Spanish omelets, sushi, South African casseroles, cous cous, German pancakes, Angolan bean stew.....and my very fabulous fruit salad :) It is just so great to be friends and classmates with such fabulous and interesting people! I am excited for tomorrow because we have our group lecture so I will get to see everyone! Yay!

Ok, time to head towards bed so that I can have an early start tomorrow....

Love you family!
