And Then The Snow Started Falling, We Were Stuck Out In Your Car

Finally back home in the suburbs after a grueling and relatively sleepless exam week. It’s funny how quickly studying and concentration can segue into blogging with coffee on a cozy couch watching movies. And to top it all off, I looked out my window today to see a snowy winter scene. Somehow back in Boston the concrete wind tunnel that is Commonwealth Ave usually causes any snowstorm to lose just a bit of this quaint charm.

So to all you New Englanders: go play in the snow like my favorite scene (above) in Love Story.

Peace,
