Today, I saw a snowflake.
I mean, obviously, I've seen snow before- but this is New Mexico! Our snow is either something that bears striking resemblance to styrofoam- tiny little white balls of dry, sticky stuff, or big wet clumps of many many snowflakes stuck together.
BUT TODAY: I totally saw a six-sided individual snowflake. They looked just like the pictures! It was super exciting. (My dad, who was born and raised in Michigan, was significantly less impressed.)
It snowed an awful lot today, out there on the ski slope, and while I am in fairly decent shape for running or climbing, I am in terrible shape for skiing powder. Evidently, it requires quadriceps of STEEL. I foresee more stair climbing in my future- that or more days when my legs are made of jello.
Thursday: I interviewed for medical school. In my limited understanding, I totally rocked it. Now, I just have to wait a few months.
Also: three weeks to the OLYMPICS! In Vancouver! That I am going to! MUAH HA HA.
