Snow Everywhere

Happy MLK Day. It's now halfway through January and Iowa City just got its first snow storm. This is about two months late, since it normally snows for the first time just after Thanksgiving. While normally I would say the snow is fun, it ended up being a hassle today. It snowed last night and into this afternoon covering everything, including the roads with a white layer. I was supposed to have a photo shoot this afternoon with a photographer, but we had to cancel because he couldn't get out of his driveway. Mainly because here they don't plow until it stops snowing, and that didn't happen until about 4pm this afternoon. Anyways, it was kind of interesting to watch the UPS man out my window. I didn't even know they delivered today, since the post office is closed for the holiday, but sure enough they do. And he got his truck stuck in the parking lot next door. He was able to drive in, but there is an incline, so he couldn't get out. It took a good hour before he was finally able to make it back out to the street. I have to admire his determination though. Especially since you couldn't actually see where the street was. You just had to guess my the location of the parked cars.
I was also planning on doing reading today for my classes for the week. But most of my books are at the law school, and since I couldn't get there, no reading for me. Of course that didn't turn out to be all bad since it turned out of the books I didn't have that I only had one reading assignment. Thank you Cornell for having the UCC online. So really I am prepared for class tomorrow despite the snow. Take that mother nature. I was, however, bored off my ass all day. I couldn't go anywhere and there is only so much you can do in your apartment by yourself. Normally Im not in favor of it, but today would have been a good day to have a roommate. Hopefully they have plowed the streets enough now that I can make it to the gym later.
I wish there was more for me to report, but I spent the entire day in my apartment doing nothing. Ooh, I will say that I watched a documentary last night called The Ground Truth. Great movie! I would recommend it to everyone, no matter your political affiliations. So go rent it if you haven't seen it.
