Winter here has been a blast. The night when the first snowfall of the winter began my Alabama native roommate declared a snowball fight which led us to be running around in the parking lot in the dark (which was followed by the first hot chocolate of the season as well!). After classes but before finals the student council hosted our Winter Ball. It was in a glass blowing factory/art gallery downtown. We had food and dancing and it was an awesome time. It was great for all of us to dress up and cut loose on the dance floor - professors and all!
