okay. so i know i'm starting this blog in march (the fourteenth, to be exact - my mom's birthday) but a lot has happened in the past month ish and i need to play up every single cool event in my life to make me seem more interesting, so... this would've been posted on february 12th if i had a blog then, but it's happening now instead.
now that we got that out of the way, there was a blizzard in montreal - something that i haven't experienced since i was a kid (probably because i've never lived in montreal before). we're talking a LOT of snow. we're talking "impossible to walk through" amounts of snow. i wanted to go to the grocery store (a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do) and ended up having to walk on the road rather than the sidewalk because it was the only place that had been shoveled adequately. it was okay, though, because no one was driving in that weather, anyway.
a picture taken right next to the psychology building on campus, on my way to the dining hall - look at that GIANT pile of snow. it's a cartoonish amount. i was in awe.
my favorite street sign to take pictures of. you might see it pop up a few more times, i can't help it!! something about it is just so aesthetic.
these two poor little lawn chairs were fighting for their lives in all that snow. they were probably jealous as hell of my legs as i walked past. i wouldn't want to have been stuck out there - the wind was CRAZY and i was cold (no, i wasn't wearing a jacket, and i don't regret it).
scenes on my quest for groceries. metro is a 15-ish minute walk away from me, but it felt like forever with the wind in my face and the snow making it really hard to walk. i say this to everyone when i tell them about it, but it felt like the scene from the beginning of frozen where they're cutting up ice in the middle of winter. the song from that scene plays in my head anytime i walk anywhere now, because it actually feels like a fantasy journey through the arctic (or maybe i'm just dramatic).
anyways! made it to metro and back safe and sound, and now i have goldfish crackers and supplies to make quesedillas in the common room microwave, so i think i won my battle against canadian winter pretty solidly.
