Ah, I have nine followers (if Meredith's split personalities count lol). Well, I just wanted to assure you all that I am fine. Despite the news of the impending snow apocalypse, things here are calm.
Seriously though, what has become of upstate NY*? I mean really, we have had our share of snow storms over the years. An inch and a half on the ground is no reason to close the college. (Not that I'm complaining, I'm just a bit stunned) The weather here is pretty okay, and most of the profs and commuter student were able to make it in, so why close at noon?
I think people are freaking out about the storm that is supposed to be coming... but this is a little extreme... I mean, Marisa said that people are stocking up on food at Wegmans. Wth? So we'll get a foot of snow... It'll be plowed away by Saturday. I really don't see what all the hype is about. It's like giving someone a Nobel Prize before they even do anything - it just doesn't happen.
Oh, wait... that last one did happen...
Can I just rant real quickly about that? It was so absurd and disheartening. I mean, the most peaceful man in the world was Obama?!? He hadn't even (and still really hasn't) done anyhting yet! Except for a lousy stimulus package...
I mean, it's just sad that the greatest example we had of peace was Obama, who won it based on expectations. Won it with words, not actions, which I think goes against the nature of the prize.
But I guess that's just me.
*Slight correction - according to the news channels and what I picked up by osmosis... Keuka Park, NY is considered central NY. Who knew? I guess I just figured because it is so close to my house, which is always described as upstate NY...well, it is not so.
