We finally had our winter’s rhapsody – a couple days of snow. Unfortunately, there was not as much snow as some of us had hoped for. Still, I didn’t want to miss out on the chance, so I got my camera out and went on a short walk around campus. Want to take a look?

Today, exactly one year ago, I woke up to this! It had started to snow the day before, and in hopes of getting some pictures of the snow before all the students would play with it and mess up the peaceful scenery, I got up extra early to go for a walk on campus. Hardly ever do we get snow like this, and just as I had expected: only hours later the beauty of an untouched winter wonderland had faded, as thousands of students enjoyed some extra fun in the snow. One interesting observation I could make on that snowy day, last year: though all the students live within walking distance of their classrooms, still, no one thought of leaving their dorms earlier to make sure they’d be on time for class. After all, walking on slippery snow and ice takes longer than usual. But nobody seemed to bother that everyone was late, even though – with just a little bit of careful planning – everybody could have made it on time! Waking up this …
