Snow!

At this very moment, it's snowing in Copenhagen! You should have seen my face this morning when I woke up and looked out the window to see snow falling out of the sky. It's much quieter and gentler than rain, and it definitely doesn't hurt the face like a its evil brother.

Looking at the snow from the 3rd floor stairs at my dorm.

I have to admit, I didn't think I would get to experience the exact thing that makes a winter wonderland. I have been patiently waiting all winter for just a flake (and no, hail does not count), but to no avail. And now, just two days before I leave, it happened! I mean, considering that it is 2 degrees Celsius outside, it was bound to happen at some point today. Now, I can go home saying that I've lived in a place that actually snows...and has distinct seasons, for that matter.

When I walked to the gym this morning, I felt like a little kid experiencing something new and exciting for the first time.  Hey, I do live in San Francisco where this sort of thing never happens. I'm glad I got to enjoy it and hopefully it will last for the next day and half.

My time here is now complete. What a way to end my study abroad experience!
