So, I didn't get my much hoped for snowday. I was so positive that we'd get one that I didn't hesitate to B's suggestion to take our pups out at midnight to play around in the storm. I ended up not getting to bed until about 2 and then I was up at 7 getting ready for my first official day back at school.
Even tho I was a bit tired, I think venturing out into the blizzard was completely worth it. It was gorgeous and our dogs love trying to catch snowballs and running around in the snow.
As you can see we ended up with about 8 inches. None of the schools or colleges in NYC closed tho, thanks to the city's advance planning. Jersey and Connecticut weren't so lucky and ended up having to dig themselves out yesterday and today.
In other news my girlfriend Mare and her bf BK and I ended up at a little bar/bistro by our school after classes yesterday. We stopped in for some wine and got to catching up with each other (well, BK and I. Mare and I kept in touch thru-out break) and just BSing. It was a lot of fun.
Since B works just down the block I stayed at the bar and waited for him. After chatting the bartender for a bit (she was super nice) we got on the subject about jobs and whatnot. I (kinda jokingly) asked if they were looking for a hostess and she said they actually were. She grabbed the manager and he met with me and we talked.. And now I'm going back tomorrow after classes to see how I do.
I'm not sure if I'm excited or scared. I've never hostessed before but my friend's have said it's not hard to pick up.
Ahh! I finally got a job.
Guess we'll see how I do tomorrow. I got some great pics too:
First walking out the door.
Down the path with the pups.
Pretty pic.
Snow was coming down hard.
Always time for an old fashioned snow angel!

We were playing on the hill and Jake didn't quite catch his snowball.
Third snowstorm to hit Manhattan in 3 weeks.. I wasn't here for the first one, which I was bummed about. I went home to Seattle for Christmas and planned to fly back the 28th. Unfortunately a blizzard blew in and stranded me on the West Coast until Jan 2nd. I have a serious love for snowstorms.
Tonight they're expecting about 9 inches to fall overnight. Currently we have almost an inch. I use an extremely scientific method to measure the snow accumulation. Observe:
Almost an inch in just an hour.
A few other pics:
Somehow this ended up as a snowball and on B.

View from 11 floors up. Gorgeous.
Don't tell any of my teachers but I'm praying to the snow gods that they'll deliver tonight. I could definitely use a couple more days off. My break ended officially on Monday, but as my first class isn't until Wednesday I've gotten an extra long break. 2 1/2 weeks just aren't enough, especially in NYC when there is SO much to do.
