Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

I arrived back in Wisconsin on the 13th and was quickly reintroduced to the Wisconsin winters. I soon discovered that I was being spoiled in Utah with temperatures in the 30’s and 40’s because when I returned to Wisconsin, the temperatures plummeted into the negative digits. I am grateful, however, that I did not have to walk to classes in this kind of weather! Before I left school, we got about 6-8 inches of snow surprisingly so I am looking forward to returning in January and being able to enjoy snow for the next few months of school.
Since being home, I have visited a lot of people, which was nice. I went back to my high school on Monday to visit my orchestra teacher who I had since fifth grade. I was able to see the other viola players that I played with the last few years. The high school has changed a lot and I got yelled at for taking my cell phone out in the office. I realized how happy and thankful I am to be in college now.
I drove down to Milwaukee for a few days to visit a good friend of mine, Jackie. She and I worked at the YMCA camp in Wausau for the past few years together and she goes to Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). She plays volleyball and basketball in college so I went down to watch two of her basketball games. The first one was cancelled though because of poor weather conditions but we had a lot of fun instead. The second game was awesome with her team winning over Mt. Mary College with a score of 73 to 45. It was the first time I have seen Jackie play so it was really fun and she was the leading scorer for the game! It was great time to spend with her. Included are some pictures from the visit with her.
Plans for the break include Christmas shopping with my sister, making Christmas cookies, spending time with my family, working at the YMCA camp and hanging out with friends. It is great to be home for another two weeks! It will go fast!
