One Semester Down. One to Go.

I've finished the second to last semester of my program. And I did pretty well grade wise, considering everything. (i.e. the fact that my semester consisted of 6 classes and that I was also working 16-20 hrs a week at the Giant Electronic Retailer.

The weather has been kinda crazy here on the Island. There have been high winds blowing over trees and taking down power lines. A transformer exploded a few days ago mere blocks from our apartment, which was kinda interesting. Apparently some people won't get power restored until the new year, which I assume will kinda put a damper on their Christmas celebrations.

I went skiing up at Mt. Washington a couple weeks ago with my friend Van. I had a great time except for the fact that when we got there it was raining. And foggy. We both got pretty damp. To stave of the cold we did do a couple of shots of fireball, and that seemed to help. We finally left, however, when the rain started to freeze into little ice pellets. (That didn't feel so good on the face coming down the hill at several km an hour.)
