It’s already February…that is so crazy!  I have now lived in the city for exactly five months now.  Since then, I have participated in NYMF, had many different roommates, and experienced three different snow storms.  The thing about the snow up here (and probably anywhere else) is that it takes a while for it to melt.  It just keeps piling up and makes our daily communicate to the grocery store or really anywhere a bit of a hassle.  We have to bundle up in our puffy jackets, gloves, earmuffs, and snow boots.

We don’t really care too much about our style.  We just want to be warm and not fall on our butts!

   
I have been lucky that the snow has not messed up any of my trips or important events (since I have so many).  However, we are supposed to get more snow/ice today and tomorrow and I just can’t have that!  I am traveling to Nashville and Memphis tomorrow night for some things that cannot be messed up.  I have doctors appointments, UPTA, and an interview.  If the snow messes all of this up, I will not be a happy camper. My friend Whitney and I were talking the other day about New York in the winter and how depressing it is.  The snow and cold influence your mood more than you think.  Just going to the grocery store wears you out. (This happens even in the good seasons!)  There are many times that I just wish I could get into my car and drive to the nearest grocery store and not feel worn out when I get home.  I am beginning to feel like this city isn’t made for me.
