Snow Day

Since it has snowed and iced so much over today and the last, UK has officially canceled all classes and offices today. I believe this is the first time I have ever had a college snow day. Luckily, we still have power, but it could go out today. Hilary is calling EVERYONE she knows, telling them her place of work is also 'canceled' today (One of the locations is without power and the employees are stuck there, I suppose to guard the building from bandits?).

Late Everything

Late Merry Christmas and a late happy new year to everyone. I made out especially well at Christmas, with some great history books and zombie paraphernalia. One of the more interesting gifts was a box of ancient Roman coins, complete with dirt and crud, that I get to clean myself. O! what a time in which we live!
Since I finished my paper I have done nothing but study Latin and play 'Left 4 Dead', a new computer game. So I basically kill zombies whilst shouting at them in Latin. Here are some examples:

te cerebrum meum non posse consumere, scuma - You cannot eat my brain, scum!

plumbum consumere et mori - Eat lead and die!

tuam sororem non longior est; moritur - She isn't your sister anymore! She's dead!

And so on and so forth. Happy early Amelia Earhart Day!
