“I am pretty happy because otherwise I couldn’t go anywhere and I would be stuck inside, I live in a dorm at F.I.T., so I am pretty happy that it isn’t as much snow–plus I hate the cold. Also I don’t have snow boots so I wouldn’t be able to walk around. Class was canceled today so I decided to take a walk around the city.”
