Snowy Tuesday, and I have proof!

HoTD today is the WHOLE WORLD...or at least the greater part of Yorkshire. It's been snowing since 3am (I know this, as I was up till 4am working on my papers), and it's not just little snow either — it's serious, big flakes. This was my view out my flat window when I woke up this morning: 

And it's not supposed to let up for DAYS. It just fills my little Oregonian heart with joy. Though I didn't really have time, I took the long-term view of life (who will care about these papers in 2 years? NO ONE) and went for a walk in Weston Park. I took some pictures, because it was so pretty.

Firth Court in the background. 

Pretty bridge with Western Bank Library in the background, where I was headed. I told you it's kind of dilapidated. 

So cold the water's almost frozen! 

I went to the library after my walk, and discovered this hilarious book in a random display case:

It's dated from 1613, and is entitled "Declaration of Such Greivous Accidents as Commonly Follow the Biting of Mad Dogges, Together with the Cure Thereof." Super random, and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a cure for rabies back in Elizabethan England. They probably bled you and then pumped you full of mercury or lead, or some other poisonous metal. I'm sure it turned out well.  

The book was in this case, which has three other books dating to the 1600's. Pretty awesome. OSU certainly doesn't have stuff like this laying around! 

After studying at the library for way longer than I wanted to, I decided to reward myself by trying out a new cafe called "Vittles." Turns out it's the perfect kind of cafe for me: not crowded, friendly employees, soup that's not salty, warm inside, and just down the street from where I live. On my way home I decided to take a little video for you all, so you could see how pretty it is here and how much it's snowed. Also you get to see part of the way I walk home everyday. Here it is:

I sound like I've just run a marathon because it's so cold, I guess. That, and my camera awkwardly picked up on my breathing, for some reason. Just fyi. :)

I hope you all have good days!
